Katie Holmes Dances and LeAnn Rimes Separates

Did you catch Katie Holmes on “So You Think You Can Dance” last night? I did, or should I say I watched the first 30 seconds or so, got bored, and fast forwarded through to the results (thank you DVR!). It wasn’t that she was bad, but as Robert Thompson, the director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture put it, Katie did “a competent job.” He did, however, point out that most of the “real movement” was done by “real dancers.” I mean, I know Katie is or was on Broadway, but she was just okay for … Continue reading →

Reality Winners Crowned and A&E Reality Pilot Bites the Dust

If you were watching television last night, you might have noticed that both “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Last Comic Standing” crowned new champions in a reality show double-header. First up was “So You Think You Can Dance.” This year, there were two girls and two guys as the four finalists, but there was one interesting twist – neither guy was classically trained. Both Joshua and Twitch are street hip-hop dancers who just truly stepped up to the plate to perform dances like Broadway and the Russian trepak. For the girls, it was Courtney that was eliminated first. … Continue reading →

SYTYCD – Las Vegas “Don’t Give Up”

The summer’s phenomenal dance show made it back to Las Vegas last night and covered a week’s worth of grueling auditions to trim 200 dancers to 20. The experience was mentally, physically and emotionally daunting for the contestants.

Luckily for viewers, the month long break started a month ago, so we will be seeing the Top 20 perform next … Continue reading →

So You Think You Can Dance is back on television and like last year, my daughter and I are totally hooked. This Thursday they will launch the actual contest. Whenever I watch the show, I’m reminded of just how physical is dancing (not that I needed the reminder), but with the show back on, it’s a good time to remind others as well. If you’re interested in switching up your fitness routine this summer, consider dancing as a way to invigorate your workout while also toning your body, burning extra calories and just overall feeling great. Think dancing can’t burn … Continue reading →

So You Think You Can Dance – I’m Hooked

It took the show’s third season to do it, but I’m officially hooked on So You Think You Can Dance. I sat glued to the screen on Wednesday evening, watching the dancers and their dances and feeling really impressed. For those of you who haven’t watched the show before, the premise is simple, but elegant. Dancers from around the country compete to be in the top 20 dancers. If they make it to the top 20, there are 10 girls and 10 guys. The dancers are partnered up and then they draw a dance style from a hat. They then … Continue reading →
