So You Think You Can Dance Favorites

September 13, 2012 by

One show I’ve been obsessed with for years is So You Think You Can Dance. In my head I’m a phenomenal dancer and move through every genre with ease and finesse. In real life I can shake my thang on the dancefloor but I’m not winning any awards. The sesaon finale for season 9 is coming up next week and that always gets me searching YouTube for my favorites dances.

Sabreena and I have been watching this show religiously since season 2. That season and season 5 were my absolute favorites. Not only did they feature some of the greatest dancers but the best performances. Here’s a collection of some of my most memorable.

Group Number Ramalama Bang Bang
Choreographed by Wade Robson, one of the best dancers/choreographers evah!

Alison and Ivan-Why
Choreographed by Tyce Diorio

Heidi and Travis-Calling You
Choreographed by Mia Michaels

Kayla and Kupono-Gravity
Choreographed by Mia Michaels

Randi and Evan-Koop Island Blues
Choreographed by Mia Michaels

Melissa and Ade-A Women’s Worth
Choreographed by Tyce Diorio

While I’ve been watching this season I haven’t been as invested as I have been in the past. It took weeks for me to connect to the dancers. I’m rooting for Chehon and Eliana. Do you watch So You Think You Can Dance?  Are you a fanatic like me?




Our Tiny Dancer- Wordful Wednesday

What an adorable little ballerina/tap dancer?

What you don’t see in these pictures is Shae having a complete meltdown as soon it was time to go into class. Once she realized that I WAS NOT going with her the waterworks started and she literally was clinging to the walls as I tried to get her to enter the dance room. It took about 15 minutes for her to calm down and get involved. At that moment she turned to me sitting in the corner on my smartphone and said, “You can go now mommy”. I sat up with my mouth wide open and and bolted before she changed her mind. The owner/teacher, Vicky, said she had never seen such a dramatic change in attitude. She’s used to seeing children take weeks to get over that kind of freak out! Shae did great overall and was involved and paid attention and is looking forward to next week.
