One doesn't immediately think of Utah County when considering dancing hotbeds, but maybe that's about to change.

Two Utah County dancers are numbered among the 20 finalists for the Fox TV show "So You Think You Can Dance." The show features an "American Idol"-style competition, where contestants will endure a grueling 12-week competition to become America's No. 1 dancer. A two-hour competition show was broadcast Wednesday night, with tonight's show delivering the results to see who will stay and who will go home.

Allison Holker, 18, and Jaymz Tuaileva, 20, are both from Orem and both made it into the final field of 20 contestants. Tuaileva specializes in jazz, hip-hop and ballroom dancing, having studied many years at Center Stage Performing Arts Studio. Holker hails from The Dance Club in Orem.
