I'm so excited that So You Think You Can Dance is back! I loooove dancing shows, and SYTYCD is my very favorite. It's just a bunch of really good dancers doing their thing, and it's fun to watch a ballroom dancer have to do hip-hop, or a breakdancer do disco. I stay the heck away from the fandom though, because I honestly don't care who's a jerk or who's stuck-up or who's dating who, I just want to see some great dancing!

So to celebrate, here are some of my favorite dances from seasons 2 and 3 (I didn't watch 1):

S3: Anya & Danny, Jive ("Girlfriend")
One of my all-time favorites (and lauched my obsession with this stupid song).

S2: Benji & Heidi, Mambo ("Black Mambo")
This one works better if you pretend they aren't cousins.


S3: Neil & Sara, Disco ("Knock on Wood")
SO MUCH FUN. Neil's tumbling in the beginning is unreal.


S2: Benji & Donyelle, Broadway ("You Can't Stop the Beat")
Personality exploding everywhere!


S3: Danny & Lacey, Samba ("Hip Hip Chin Chin")
ZOMG. HOT.


S2: Top 10 Group Dance, "Ramalama Bang Bang"
Zombiedance FTW! This thing is amazing.


S3: Pasha & Sara, West Coast Swing ("The Rockafeller Skank)
Pasha and Sara are the CUTEST THING. (And Benji's a good choreographer, but he comes off awfully annoying in the beginning.)


S3: Top 14 Group Dance, "You Can't Stop the Beat" (again)
Notice how there's only 6 girls? Yeah, Dom dropped Sabra on her head during the dress rehearsal. But she ended up winning the whole thing, so I guess it works out.


S2: Heidi & Travis, Paso Doble (Zorro soundtrack)
"Intense" is definitely the word for this one!


S3: Pasha & Lauren, Hip-Hop ("Fuego")
Dancing Transformers! Sort of.

And that one was from the very first week of competition! These kids are so good, it's crazy.

Anya's way better with Pasha. They've made US and Ohio Star finals before. (Also, minor disingenuousness I think that the show didn't make clear Anya and Pasha work for Tony and Melanie, or did at the time--may still, I don't know.)

Max and Yulia did Zorro and they did The Beat as show dances (youtube under Max and Yulia Paso Zorro and The Beat). Very much more awesome. Yulia and her new parter just came second in the Latin dances at Blackpool, too--they're so going to win everything in the US this next year. Of course Yulia is pretty much the best female Latin dancer in the world. She is not human, I say.

I confess, I don't really get into this show. Too much contemporary (I hate contemporary/modern/lyrical/synchronized hair-flipping) and I can only take so much breakdancing. And most of the time it's just painful watching people try to switch.
