That means we all get to watch the strongest numbers of the season all over again. The show had a very strong field this year. I would have been perfectly satisfied if any of the Top 3 had been named the winner. It's all good.Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-31340306187231377902011-08-12T15:22:35.741-04:002011-08-12T15:22:35.741-04:00Hi Gwynlyn!

(You probably recognize Lacey Schwimmer from the first video, who parlayed a Top 6 SYTYCD finish to a pro career.)<br /><br />Re: idea.

I missed So you think you can Dance from time to time but I enjoyed that they danced so much last night.

Remembering some of the hijinks some of my classmates got up to - always the boys! - I definitely feel for you.<br /><br />Grace - I think bringing dance to the masses is going to be this show's gift to posterity. As people might be able to tell from my favorite selections, I have a definite preference for contemporary, but it's been so entertaining to see Bollywood, stepping, disco, and even Russian folk dance represented on the show.Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-20755530287425431922011-08-12T11:58:59.643-04:002011-08-12T11:58:59.643-04:00This was a wonderful.

I accompanied dance classes to pay my way through college, and it seems to me the dancers work the hardest, suffer the most, get paid the least and have the shortest career spans as any artist. To see them gaining such popular appeal is marvelous.<br /><br />Maybe the novelists should compete in a category "Most Angst in 500 words or fewer." <br /><br />Dancers can made wrenching statements in less than 30 seconds without saying a word. Wonder how we'd stack up?Grace Burroweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631291702461834307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-76344527326140226042011-08-12T11:30:08.958-04:002011-08-12T11:30:08.958-04:00I haven't been watching this, so thanks for br...I haven't been watching this, so thanks for bringing me up to speed.

First page, two dancers meeet. Idea in mind for the end, grand finale choreographed. Middle...oops! I'm out of breath and my legs are rubber and if that feller tries to swing me out one more time I'm not stopping until I fly plumb off the planet. Guess I'd better work on that middle slump some more before the show goes on or the SYTYCW workshop begins! <br />GREAT POST, BTW!Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.com
