It's All Relative

SYTYCD

Ok. I'm so sick of reality television and have sort of taken a stance against watching and inevidably getting sucked into other stupid show. Which is why I have abstained from the hoopla surrounding So You Think You Can Dance. It seems everyone I know is obsessed with this show and I had no desire to even check it out. I have zero dance background and therefore really had no interest in tuning in to what is basically a dance version of American Idol.

However.

My good friend Megan insisted I watch a couple segments from her Tivo'd version. She told me I was totally missing out and needed to see it. Not really caring, I agreed to watch a bit of it.

Ok, let me tell you. Some of these dances left me speechless, gave me goosebumps, etc. I had no idea this kind of talent existed and here I was, opting not to view it. Like I said, I have no dance experience so I really didn't expect to be all that blown away by it. But, some of these people are so intense, so talented, you can't help but respect and admire their skills.

This one in particular blew me away:



It's Chelsie and Mark dancing to "Beautiful" by Me'Shell N'degoocello, which is a song I'd never heard, but am now listening to on repeat. This dance was choreographed by Mia Michaels, who won an emmy for this dance from last season. She's amazing.

Cool, right?

So now I'm a fan.
