Chelsea Traille’s Gone from SYTYCD: Farewell Words

Poor Chelsea Traille, put to the bottom three in the last episode and then ousted by the judges. You can see her solo below; I can see why the judges might not have liked her - in my opinion, while her technique and energy are great, there’s not a real coherence to the solo - […]

Depressed? Try a Tango!

This just in: Tango is useful to help people battle depression.
Apparently researchers in Australia’s University of New England are exploring whether tango can “boost people’s emotions.”
“While you’re doing tango you can only be in the present — you really have to focus, concentrate, and it doesn’t allow your thoughts to drive into your mind,” says […]

Shane Sparks Talks to YOU on the Big Show with JK

“Hi, my name is Jessie, I’m 15 and I have my own radio show,” started the email in my in-box, and I almost thought it was spam. Luckily, my peripheral vision caught the name Shane Sparks in the paragraph and I read more closely…
Welcome to the Big Show with JK Live!
Jessie is the host of […]

Can It Be? Legally Blonde is Better Than SYTYCD?

I’ve been very interested in learning some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of everybody’s favorite reality dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance. I think it was getting Arielle’s perspective that got me interested. But something is rotten in the state of etc…
So You Thought You Could Dance?
Like me, the TV Grapevine had a personal […]

SYTYCD: More Cred Than DWTS?

The Show Tracker at the LA Times brought up an interesting point about So You Think You Can Dance. Specifically, Claire talks about her surprise - at first - at the snippy and irritated way the judges treat the dancers auditioning. Unlike American Idol, they seem truly annoyed with not only the dancers who truly […]

Dancewatcher Talks to Cat Deeley of SYTYCD

Lynn Devries, my fellow B5Media blogger, has a nice prequel to the So You Think You Can Dance season coming up. She snagged an interview with the host, Cat Deeley, along with the folks over at TV Guide.
One of the more interesting things I found in it was Cat’s comments about the true purpose of […]

So You Think You Can Dance: Local Version

I had the distinct pleasure recently of dining at the Med Hookah lounge in Madison, WI, which aside from having great Mediterranean food also feature middle eastern dancers (aka bellydancers, though some don’t like that term).
Those Who Can, Teach
One of the performers there is Arielle, a teacher at the Madison Multicultural Dance Center with Mona […]

Win a Trip To the So You Think You Can Dance-Off!

Image details: So You Think You Can Dance Australia - Top 20 Photo Call served by picapp.com
I’m kind of shooting myself in the foot here, because by telling you I’m decreasing my own chances of winning…but TVSquad is offering an all-expense paid trip for two to L.A. including air fare, hotel, $200 cash (should be […]

So You Think You Can Teach?

…well, in Mia Michaels‘ case, you’re probably right.
Just had a bit of post-SYTYCD enjoyment reading All About My NYC Dance Auditions blog, where she took a master class from the choreographer and occasionally inappropriately dressed judge. While I’m not surprised to find out that she’s teaching, or that students are lining up around the block […]

Dancewatcher: my counterpart on Spekked

One of the benefits of being part of the B5Media family is that there are a lot of other bloggers out there doing neat things - though I occupy a pretty unique niche here in the lifestyles channel, and most of the celebrity watches are less about the performing arts than individual celebs.
DanceWatcher  Lynn Devries […]
