In honor of the new season of So You Think You Can Dance, here’s a highlight of last season. Even if you don’t love the show, you gotta see this guy.
You know what I love about this show over, say, American Idol? The judges genuinely seem to like dance and dancers. They’re honest but still encourage even some of the worst dancers to keep dancing if they love it. If a contestant takes dancing seriously, isn’t belligerent or completely out of touch, Neil et al won’t grind the kid to a pulp on their way out the door. (Simon, are you listening?)
Sure, it’s totally commercial and yeah, they absolutely choose the prettiest dancers and the ones with the most poignant stories, but that aside, it’s original talent, original choreography, and some brilliant dancing.
Hooray, summer dancing!
i absolutely LOVE this show. after realizing i am taller than cat deeley, who looks like an absolute giant, i knew my dreams were over!!
Oh no! Keep your dreams alive: have you seen the heels Cat wears? I would fall on my head before I left my room in those things.
