Thirty-six dancers took the stage at the House of Blues last night in the hopes of securing just 18 spots on the 2010-11 Boston Celtics dance team.

Judges included "American Idol" contestant Ayla Brown, Miss Massachusetts 2010 Lacey Wilson, and New England Revolution forward Taylor Twellman.

At left, the opening number was a choreographed dance routine with a "summer party music" theme.
