The So You Think You Can Dance finale was this past Wednesday and Thursday on Fox, and it was a great one! The show resurrected some past favorite numbers chosen by the choreographers as well as brought back some of the top ten, and top 14 since Anya, Jesus and two other dancers not from the top ten will be traveling on tour to approximately 50 cities. And luckily for me my best friend Margaret from high school attends Boston University and got us pre-sale tickets to the Boston show at Agannis Arena on September 22.
I cannot wait.

SYTYCD
It has been an extremely long time since I have posted, due to a trip to Europe, countless weddings, a week-long vacation in Lake George, NY, not to mention working full time at my part time job and taking a summer class.
But as this season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE begins to wrap up, I have to put in my two-sense.
I can't help but support Danny and Sabra, hands down the most talented dancers left in the final six. It just seems to me they are both on a whole other level than some of the other dancers. Lacey dances with a "fluff" feel: just skimming the surface of technical training. But Danny turns so effortlessly it's extremely hard to take your eyes off of him. And Sabra's energy and personality always shine through when she's performing.
I haven't been following the show closely, being out of the country for 15 days and working full-time hasn't helped me catch up on my SYTYCD episodes, but after watching One Republic perform their song "Apologize" and found out Danny and Anya had performed it during an earlier episode ... I went straight to YOUTUBE.
Why might you ask? Not only do I love the song, but I have finished choreographing a piece for the Northeastern University Dance Company's Fifth Annual Winter Concert coming up this December to the Timbaland produced version of "Apologize."
The contemporary piece performed in a partnering setting was powerful and beautiful. I LOVED IT! Almost as much as I enjoy performing my own choreography to the moving music. Although Anya has been voted off the show since that episode ... the beauty of the piece resonates even in the shoddy-quality YOUTUBE video.
