so you think you can dance

“So You Think You Can Dance” is a television show featuring some of the best up-and-coming dancers the United States has to offer, and for popularity it has been beaten only perhaps by “American Idol,” arguably FOX’s most successful reality show of the 21st century.

Like its singing counterpart, it  begins with auditions by potential contestants in front of a panel of judges. These dancers offer the judges, and later live audiences, a tantalizing mix of classical and contemporary dance moves, first on their own, then choreographed by some of the brightest minds in show business today.

The names Joshua Allen, Stephen "Twitch" Boss, Katee Shean, Sabra Johnson, and Danny Tidwell may not stir the hearts of some, but their names continue to develop a following in one of the oldest, and most evolving, worlds out there – dance!

  Cat looks Xanadu fabulous tonight as we prepare to lose the last two dancers that stand between us and the top 10.

  I am seriously loving on this show right now. I can’t get enough of most of the dances, dancers, and choreographers. As with most of these types of shows, the judges face time could easily be decreased by at least half. Implementing a no screeching rule would also work. Either way, the judges’ work is mostly done ...

  Incominciamo male: la prima routine di Ryan e Ellenore non mi è affatto piaciuta (loro sono stati poco precisi e si è visto qualche cedimento) ma i giudici l’hanno amata. Si sono però sicuramente ripresi con la Broadway routine: perfetti.Kathryn e Legacy mi sono piaciuti un sacco (soprattutto nella jazz routine). ...

  ( S06E18 ) Im surprised how well So You Think You Can Dance can cover up the fact that the first 30 minutes can be wasted in just finding out who the bottom three were. It felt like the two-couples-at-a-time technique worked better than having three couples up at one time. One thing Im happy to see in the recaps ...

  Swan Lake Samba Girl — Authority: 131
  Okay, okay I know it was Donny Osmond, but in my mind it was Kelly Osbourne! Or Mya. I thought Mya was by far the best dancer on the show this season, but Kelly was the most improved and that’s what this show should ultimately be about, imo. And there was something so relatable about Kelly; even though her father is ...
