So You Think You Can Dance!

While most T.V. shows go away for the summer, this is actually the season when my favorite T.V. show begins. I am a lover of the show: So You Think You Can Dance. I have watched every episode faithfully the last three years after I discovered the amazingness of this show, and was bummed I knew I would have to sacrifice watching a season of the show while living abroad. One solution I had thought up to avoid missing episodes, was to have my wonderful, beautiful, kind mother Tivo, record, and mail me the episodes for my viewing pleasure. Yes I am that desperate to stay updated, and yes my mom is that amazing to me.

So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) premier’s tomorrow night. In anticipation of the show, today I was doing a bit of research and discovered that this year for the first time SYTYCD will be posting full episodes online! Whoo hoo! I am so excited that I will be able to get my weekly double dose of SYTYCD.

I will no longer have to go a week without seeing the adorable Cat Deeley in her fun and funky dresses.



Each week my ears will be pierced by the screams of Mary Murphy.



I am excited to see the choreography of Mia Michaels.



And most importantly each week I will be inspired by the dancers who work the stage during their performance.



I love getting to know the dancers and having favorites. I become attached to the dancers I love. I feel like I am on the journey with them. Cheering them on and hoping they are able to reach the end. Many times the most difficult part towards the end is they are all so good- how is a girl supposed to decide. I wish they could all stay and just dance for me, for forever.



thanks to YouTube I have my favorite dances always there for my viewing pleasure.



What I am not looking forward to are the times when America makes mistakes and votes off the best dancer or my favorite dancer. Many times last season, I was quite angry, for several days, after the airing of the results show. And I am not someone who is easily upset. So please America I beg you- for the sanity of me, please vote the correct way. Which of course any way I would want you to. Because we all know who and what I think deserves to win- most certainly does deserve to win, without question. I would hate to see another mistake like last year when people voted to keep Comfort over Kherington!!! I still don’t think I am completely over that, I may still need more time.



So for all you SYTYCD lovers out there like myself! Hooray for another season of all new fabulously inspired 8 counts, memory vignettes of when dancers are dismissed, and 3 hours a week of hearting Cat say, “Welcome to So You Think You Can Dance.”

So now I know for sure you and Emily and I (maybe Clinton too) are all related. I will never get over Allison being voted off several years ago. Thanks for the reminder; I didn't know it was starting up again. Bravo!

I have never watched this show. Maybe, for your sake, I should get on board.

the HOT TAMALE TRAIN has arrived!!!! We watched it last night, and Rachel acutally cried. Ken was negative the whole time, and I was ecstatic so was France. The choreographer was ridiculously annoying. I cant wait for Mia!! I even watched your video clip without sound. I am going to start a message btw you, your mom, france, and i and we can discuss what happened after we have seen each individual episode!

love you!
