So You Think You Can Dance: Will & Katee plus Mark Solo

Will and Katee had the dance of the week with an amazing Pas de Deux performed to Idol singer David Archuleta’s version of “Imagine.”

I’m a big fan of Mark and this week he got burned by Kerrington as a partner (which surprised me since she was so fab with Twitch). Anyway, Mark had a great [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Double Feature (almost)

So You Think You Can Dance was back to being good again this week. Two dances stood out this week, but I can only show you one right now.
Will & Jessica’s contemporary routine is powerful and beautiful and simply WOW!

I wanted to show Gev and Courtney’s jazz number to “Standing There” by The Creatures. [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Kherington & Twitch Do Contemporary

On the whole, this week’s So You Think You Can Dance was an unexpected clunker. I wasn’t thrilled by most of the performances. However, there was one stunning dance worth posting. Mia Michaels choreographed Kherington and Twitch in a contemporary number featuring “Dreaming with a Broken Heart” by John Mayer. Check out [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Mark & Chelsea Hip Hop

I haven’t been a fan the hip hop routines on So You Think You Can Dance. It’s usually the choreography rather than the performance that fails for me. This week it all changed. Mark & Chelsea got a hip hop routine (which was later clarified as a lyrical hip hop routine) and it was amazing. [...]

So You Think You Can Dance

Yes, we’ve started watching another dance show. I’m not a fan of the So You Think You Can Dance judges, except for the head judge who doesn’t get on my nerves. We tend to record and fast forward though the program just watching the dances, rehearsal footage and the elimination stuff. We can do the [...]

Reality Check

A couple of reality shows we’ve been watching wrapped up in the past couple weeks and they are worth commenting on.
Step it Up & Dance: I loved this show from the beginning. This show was so much better the Dance Wars. The cross section of dancers they brought in were great and it peeled down [...]

Friday Geek Out: Dance

This is an odd Geek Out, but I feel it has been brewing for quite some time. It really became apparent as I started moving blog entires from the old blog into the new one, that I am pretty obsessed with dance. It’s an obsession I’ve had for quite some time.
Zoom back to sixth grade [...]

Friday Geek Out: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

On Dancing with the Stars this week one of my very faorite dance troupes performed: The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. I first discovered them when I was in college and they performed at the University of Alabama. I was blown away by the choreography, the music, everything. It is simply some of the most [...]

Friday Geek Out: Center Stage

I’m not sure what spurred this run of dance movies (maybe the return of Dancing with the Stars), but it has been fun and I’ve got one for this week too. Back in 2000, Center Stage was released.
It’s sort of like Fame as students work to get into a program at American Ballet Academy (which [...]
