I get the chills every time



Yes. I admit it. I'm hooked. This show is ruling my life right now. I live, eat, breathe So You Think You Can Dance. Ok, that's exaggerating a little. But honestly, I can't stop watching this show. EVERY Wednesday and Thursday I run home after work to get to my Tivo-ed episodes. Sparky and I chat online every time and talk about the dancers, the choreography, the judges, the costumes, EVERYTHING. ADDICTED. I just can't get enough of it. I've even saved a couple episodes on my tivo. I never do that! I've been so moved by some of the dances, that I had to keep that show so that I can watch these dances whenever I so chose.

I have found the wonderful world of YOUTUBE and will search on a weekly basis for So You Think You Can Dance videos. I am beyond thrilled to tell you that one of my favorite routines made it on there. It's a contemporary piece between Ivan and Alison. Watch it and tell me what you think! Now, unfortunately after the routine, they don't keep the tape rolling so you can see the judges reaction to this piece. One of the judges was brought to TEARS. This piece has moved me beyond words. I was covered head to toe in chills the first time I saw it and my mouth was to the floor. I still watch it and am stunned speechless. It is truly a brilliant piece. I hope you enjoy it!

Despite the cheesy "reality" tv show part of it all...these dancers are really amazing. It's phenomenal to watch a dancer "grow" and be able to manipulate and adapt to all styles of dance. Not something you can see on other reality tv shows.

I crown thee, So You Think You Can Dance, Skipper's favorite reality tv show.

I've never seen that show. It's on Fox, right? Maybe I'll Tivo that and give it a try. Afterall, it can't be worse than some of the crap I watch. :)
