So I’ve been thinking that I may need to rename this blog “Random Ramblings of a Dance Enthusiast” if I keep posting these types of entries.

Anyway…

I just watched another episode of So You Think You Can Dance and I was struck by this guy’s routine. It seemed like he got a little off balance at one spot, but WOW! It immediately gave me chills (although I’m sure it was partly due to the great choice of music) and by the end I had teared up. He is an awesome dancer! I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if he won the entire thing.

I know that I never would have taken it anywhere had I stuck with dance when I was younger, but every year I almost want to take up dance again (especially contemporary) when I watch this show. Believe me, I know it’s not all fun and games, but it reminds me of how much fun it can be.

Update:

Wow! I just watched the cut. I guess I was wrong b/c he didn’t even make it to the top 20. That sucks.

I just watched last week’s So You Think You Can Dance and I have to share this with you, in case you missed it.

OMG:

In response to my enthusiasm about the above popper, Joe amazed me by showing me this video (If, like me, you don’t get it the first time around, you really need to watch it again. I’m serious. It’s hilarious.):

Update:

So I recently saw this guy’s audition and I think he is just as good, if not better than the other guy, shown above.  At one point I was thinking that it seemed like I was watching a computer generated person dance rather than a real person.  Amazing stuff.  However, I wonder how far either of these two guys will go in the competition when it comes to doing something other than popping.  I’m guessing not very far.
