I LOVE So You Think You Can Dance. The show makes me happy in ways no other show does. I love that there are so many different dance forms in the world and they are all represented. Also, when watching the show there is such variety in the choreography, which makes the episodes so interesting to watch. It doesn't hurt that the host, Cat Deeley, is adorable and lovable or that the judges are always constructive and kind when critiquing. The show just has a different aura than other reality competition shows and you find yourself constantly sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the next great dance move and performance.
Now that I have written that rant, let's get to the meat of the post. Tonight was the season premiere episode. During the opening rounds people perform and one of three things happens: the really great dancers are given a ticket straight to the second round in Las Vegas, the really bad dancers are sent home and those who are pretty good are sent to the choreography round where they have to prove that they can perform other dance forms. Tonight's episode featured the audition round in New York and Denver. While the talent was noticeably better in New York, Denver delivered also. Next week the show travels to Memphis and Miami, both of which should elicit many esteemed dancers.
I wouldn't lie to you, if you enjoy dancing or watching dancing and you are not watching this show, you have to start. If you are not satisfied, I would be shocked. It is my summer guilty pleasure (that will soon be a year round guilty pleasure following the announcement of a fall season of the show!). I can't praise the show enough. You have to watch to understand, the show moves you in ways I cannot even explain, especially when the top 20 is decided and the dances are choreographed by professionals. So, pretty please watch! And let me know if you are also pleased. I hope you are :)
