Noypis Marko Germar, 22, and Tadd Gadduang, 25, have been both saved from the final eliminations earlier and now join the Top 4 contestants who will be battling it out on stage next week for the SYTYCD 8 crown. Sasha Mallory and Melanie Moore complete the list of grand finalists (The two girls are the "beasts" in the competition. They will surely give Marko and Tadd a hard time.)

Whew! Congrats and good luck, guys! :D

Ooooops, Tadd just updated his Facebook status:

Marko Gemar, 22 years old, works as a dancer in Disneyland US and is an expert on Jazz. He is fondly called by his family "Kimboy". He trained since he was 10 at a dance studio where he learned Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Hip-Hop, Ballroom and Gymnastics. Prior to the training, Marko already learned street Hip-Hop at the age of 7.

Meanwhile, Tadd Gadduang is a 25-year old dancer from Salt Lake City, Utah. He began to dance at age 15 as a hobby, but eventually realized his passion for it after graduating from high school. Since he had no formal dance training like Marko, Tadd considers what he does "urban dancing." He is currently a second-year college student taking up Psychology. He learned Filipino Martial Art of Kali at the age of 6.

Noypi's Notes:

Whew! Two more reasons to get hooked up with the show again. I hope they'll do great in the competition! Goodluck, Noypis!

Update: Tadd talked about his Pinoy background in one of his interviews. He also wore a t'shirt with a Philippine flag print. :D
