Two Provo dancers — Jensen Arnold and Tristan Sosa — advanced to the next round on season 14 of “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Arnold is the younger sister of Lindsay Arnold, a season 9 competitor who made it to the Top 8. In 2013, Lindsay Arnold joined “Dancing With the Stars” as a professional dancer. And now her sister is following in her footsteps.

Both Jensen Arnold and Sosa earned tickets to “The Academy” callback rounds in Los Angeles, which is an intensive group audition process where judges narrow contestants to the Top 10. The Top 10 dancers selected will then be partnered with SYTYCD All-Star dancers for the weekly single-elimination competition.

“Girl, you are a star,” judge Vanessa Hudgens told Jensen Arnold following the performance. “You dance so beautifully. I can tell you enjoy doing it. You stayed connected to us. You kept us engaged. You sparkle. You are so adorable. I love watching you.”

The Latin ballroom dancers auditioned to “Mek It Bunx Up” by DeeWunn ft. Marcy Chin.
