So You Think You Can Dance

Anyone else watching?

Top 20 were revealed tonight and I am really impressed. They are all really insanely talented.

I'm a bit worried about how far Cyrus will actually make it. I mean, he did really so well tonight but I'm sure those choreographers were trying their best to help him do what he's able to do to the best of his ability. What's going to happen if he pulls out the rumba next week or something? I can't really imagine that going terribly well. Then again, America could vote on a curve. Compared to everyone else, no he's not really that amazing. But compared to where he started from, he's really accomplished a lot even just now.

Anywho, I'm getting ahead of myself. I am very much looking forward to this season and can't wait to see what happens when the live shows start. :-)

I love SYTYCD but I always find it troubling that while they embrace "unique" dancers they still privilege those who are classically trained.

I am really excited that there will be a male and female winner this year too. I wonder how the voting will work though now that FOX wont let them do a results night.

I was so thrilled with the top 20. Ridiculously talented and fun to watch. Also, I do Zumba, so last night was fun in they had a Zumba shout-out for Nat'l Dance Day. Perhaps with Cyrus they will give him some lessons in the meantime in other styles? One of the judge's comments led me to believe that could be possible...

This is very true. I've only watched the last couple seasons but isn't it usually a "contemporary" dancer who wins? So, what's the point of having people who only know ballroom or tap on the show if you're going to make them dance every kind of dance that exists? Like, I love the show, but sometimes if I think about it too much, I just don't get it.

I'm excited for that, too with the boy and girl winner. The no results show is definitely strange. I'm guessing we'll just find out at the beginning of the next show, but what about the dancers? I guess we'll have to wait and see....

That would be cool if Cyrus was able to get some lessons. Even if he's able to get the basic technique down, though, he still doesn't have the flexibility and general strength the other dancers do. It'll be interesting to see what he can do the first week.
