ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Kenidee Allen of West Haven, Utah, participated in Audition 2 of 'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 18. Interestingly, Maksim Chmerkovskiy sat this one out due to their previous collaboration.

She joined hands with Maks on theater projects such as Savor After Hours, Ft. Val and Maks Chmerkovskiy.

Kenidee performed a nice, "sassy" Jazz solo to "Beautiful Trauma" by P!nk. Having already worked with her, Maksim abstained from voting. However, he did share his opinion on the audition, confessing that it was not his favorite performance from her.

Maksim stated that we had just seen the bottom of Kenidee's ceiling.

Meanwhile, Allison Holker and Comfort Fedoke had nothing but admiration for her Jazz performance. It was like a palette cleanser after witnessing so many fusion types during auditions.

Allison and Comfort believed that her Jazz solo was enough to progress her to the next round, so we'll see more of her.
