So You Think You Can Dance
Jun. 22nd, 2011 10:29 pmLet's talk about this show, flist. I watched seasons 1-4, missed S5 at school, saw S6 last summer, missed S7 at school, and have now picked up S8 at the start of the Top 20.
I love it so freaking much.
I've never been a dancer and never will be, but like playing the piano, it's one of those things I wish I'd at least dabbled in as a child instead of pushing everything aside in favor of sports, those things that make so much beauty and make me feel all the feelings and I want to be able to do them myself, to express myself through them, but I can't. So I get it vicariously through others!
AND OH MY GOD THIS SEASON.
First of all, every single person is incredibly beautiful. And talented. And charming. And silly. And gorgeous, did I mention that? Because no matter how many times my father makes semi-snide comments about how the girls are all great dancers but gosh those dancer bodies, a little thick, huh? I want to cry, because UM NO, THEY ARE PERFECT AND GLORIOUS AND LOVELY. I love them all and I want them all to win. I suppose this season I'm rooting for Ryan Ramirez, because she was a year behind me at my high school, and she was pretty nice. I don't really *know* her, but one of the other dancers at the school who was actually a friend of mine knew her and liked her. But in terms of not being tied down by tenuous high school allegiances, I think my favorites so far are Wadi, Sasha, and Clarice, though honestly, I like all of them thus far.
AND GOOD GOD THE CHOREOGRAPHY. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW I WORSHIP AT THE FEET OF NAPOLEON AND TABITHA D'UMO, OKAY. TONIGHT THEY HAD A ROUTINE IN WHICH THE DANCERS WERE WOODPECKERS. YES. THAT IS CORRECT.
