One Northville dancer is hoping to become “America’s Favorite Dancer” and showing the world that she can dance.

The dance audition for Amy Yakima, 19, appeared last night on “So You Think You Can Dance," and according to the Detroit Free Press, the three judges of the Fox Network series were so impressed they sent her to the second round.
