Dance!!!

So these are actually out of order. The last video posted is my favorite. The second to last is my second favorite. Etc, etc.

Loving dance and am feeling inspired :-)

ummmm

So You Think You Can Dance is SO GOOD y'all.

WATCH IT!

I'm posting videos of my favorite dances as soon as I have enough energy and/or time.

WATCH IT!

The Obsession has RETURNED

This fall season of So you think you can dance is going to be hard. I love the show so much and usually never miss it on the night it airs, but my fall schedule is a bit more packed than summer. Anyway, I will still be watching, just probably on the dvr later... Of course, I already have some faves.

Check these out:

This guy. He is so pleasing to watch and his technique is near flawless. Love him and really hope to see him in Top 20.



And these girls. Mainly the second. Am digging around on youtube to find more of her, she is captivating to me. (and I like her hair :) )



Hope you enjoyed!

So I think I'd like to Dance like this

OKAY. I've been otherwise occupied, and have neglected the SYTYCD commentaries here on my blog. But, I have 5 minutes, so I will share my 2 favorite pieces from tonight's show.

The first dance was inspired by addiction: the man symbolized the addiction, she was fighting it. It was moving and beautiful.


This one is choreographed by possibly my favorite choreographer ever. He is consistently brilliant.


You're welcome.

I just HAVE to!

So, I am tired and have a to-do list a mile long in prep for recital (3 days away!), and I really had no energy or desire to blog. Even with all the shenanigans that went on this week on So You Think You Can Dance.

But, I can't help it! I just HAVE to blog! I lay in bed, and so many thoughts run through my head. I mean...

First. Natalie. Excuse me, but WTF? (f being fudge, of course). I just don't understand! I posted her audition video here on my blog, so clearly, I am a fan. But to just cut her like that OUT OF NOWHERE? Excuse me, but when a choreographer pulls a dancer out in front of the class to demonstrate the dance, that is the choreographer saying YES! THIS IS WHAT I WANT! Does that mean NOTHING to the judges? To quote my friend Holly, why am I so heated?!

Let me just say that I think that Mia Michaels is a hater. And that's too bad. I have a real problem with haters- I don't understand the hate. She is just blatantly egotistical and rude. And I think I am over her choreography, for the most part. I do think she is talented, but find it harder and harder to like her when she continues to display her true, ugly, colors.

On to the brothers. Now, I understand this is a tv show, and it's all about the drama, etc., so I guess I understand why they held out til the end with them. If the brothers had any smarts, they would have figured out that this would be what the producers would do. I guess I just want to say that I really like them. I love their friendship, their closeness, and think that if Melissa and I were to ever be in a situation like that (haha yeah right!), we would be just as loving and supportive and proud as the brothers were. Class acts. Love them.

Speaking of love. L. O. V. E.

Alex Wong.

If you have sort of been just scanning this post because you don't watch SYTYCD, or don't care... I don't blame you. But focus. Pay attention. Because this is important.

Alex Wong.

Holy Crap.



He couldn't be on the show because of his contract with the Miami Ballet. And my heart is weeping. Sound dramatic? It is. My love for him is true. I mean, come on. First of all, some of you know (now all of you do), I love Asians. I really don't think I've ever known an Asian I didn't like. I just think they are beautiful, elegant, I just love them, okay? Melissa said the other day I need to adopt an Asian baby and she's right. Ummmm, anyway. Obviously, my love for him goes beyond that. Watch him. WATCH him. His talent is breathtaking. Alex Wong. HELLO. I love you.

Just one more. Til next week.

I am obsessed.

No "might be" about it.

Watch this: (start at the :20 mark if you don't want her "back story")

I mean, COME ON. She is gorgeous, passionate, technical, LOVE.

Now, watch this. PURE entertainment. They are brothers, and if you're only gonna watch one, I say skip to 1:55.


Maybe you're not as addicted to dance as I am, in fact I'm sure you're not, but surely you can see the joy that it brings to so many. I LOVE this flippin show!!

I might be obsessed

This is the epitomy of what I would like every student of mine to learn at my studio. Watch the judges comments, they are soo right on. She is perfection, in my eyes.
