Gotta support my city ya know! Who’s watching this show? So You Think You Can Dance is an American dance competition, and the show begins airing every summer. The winner is titled “America’s Favorite Dancer.” So you can see it’s not the best dancer, but you do need talents and star quality to win over America’s heart. I started to watch this show during high school but only committed myself to finished Season 4 (THE BEST EVERRR!! Katee♥Joshua) I really admire all the contestants, putting themselves out there for critiques – it’s not an easy thing to do, especially some are rejected on national TV. At the end of Vegas round, only the top 20 dancers are chosen to compete officially, week after week dancing to various styles. Those with the least number of votes, get eliminated. It’s heart-breaking and I never fail to get emotional when they bid goodbye with humility and honor intact.
This year, my professor coincidentally mentioned this show and I was intrigued to watch it again. Boston wasn’t my favorite city for auditions (Austin, TX, WOW!) but there were some amazing standout performances!
