So You Think You Can Dance?

I wasn't surprised with ryan leaving. he is great in his element but he never really stood out to me. My hubby thinks allison is one of the best all around dancers that was on the show.

I'm pulling for Benji though lol

What did you guys think about tonight?? I LOVED tonight's show - such fun

With only six dancers left - everyone is just fabulous...but hubby and I both predict that the two with the lowest votes will be Natalie and Ivan.

Of the other four - Benji, Travis, Heidi and Donyelle - I love them all

One of the judges said to vote the the dancers that are most fun to watch. Taking that advice, I believe the most fun is Benji - I HAVE to smile when I watch him dance.

That waltz that Heidi and Travis did was beautiful wasn't it?

Did it look like Donyelle was in pain at the end of her solo tonight???

Ah! You guys are killing me! 1 1/4 hours until it airs here in San Francisco. Travis dancing the waltz! I can't wait!

Donyelle was injured last week (her knee) - perhaps it's still bothering her?

What did you think of it??? I think they called Travis's dance slow waltz or was it smooth waltz?

Parts of that dance are still in my mind - so pretty!! I have several "memory tapes" of dances that play in my mind - and they are all of Heidi's routines.
Well, I do have a couple memory tapes of Dmitry, too

I will be sad when the series ends with the finale next week. I sure have enjoyed it and learned alot about different dances. Now, I would like to go to another dance production so I can watch with a better eye of appreciation you know?? I am watching the Fox website for more info about the Top 10 Tour - hubby and I want to get tickets

While I was searching the net, I found a video of various productions that Mia Michaels choreographed and it is breathtaking!!! Take a look Mia Michaels Reel...oh my!!! It has clips from Celine Dion's A New Day...WOW!!

I said the same thing to my hubby about Donyelle. I didn't know she hurt her knee though. I know natalie had a knee brace on and I know Donyelle had a possibly broken toe earlier in the show. But she definately looked to be in a lot of pain. It was even hard for her to fake smile.

I LOVE Benji I also can't help but smile when I watch him.

I think in the finale everyone dances with each other at least once. The guys dance together and the girls do a dance together and then each couple does a dance. I don't know if they do a solo or not but I would imagine they do. It's going to be a great show

Travis' performance last night brought me to tears and I couldn't stop voting for him. He's an amazing dancer! I didn't like Heidi at first, her cabbage patch face does look very hard at times, but she's amazing. I voted for her too.

Benji, Benji, Benji - He just might win this thing. I voted for him too.

Donyelle did look to be in pain. I didn't really care for her solo, but I voted for her too.

I actually went and took an intro to Samba class the other day - what fun! As a former dancer, I just love this stuff. Reminds me of me when I was in my prime, performing and auditioning. It's really hard work.

I'm still thinking about getting tickets to their show here. Mia Michaels bugs me and I just can't put my finger on it. Probably because I never really understood modern dance (I guess now they're calling it "contemporary"). I'm at work right now, but I will check out that site when I get home.

Next week is the finale?!

Oh NO!! I can feel the withdrawals coming on already!!

Do they pick one boy and one girl as the winner or just one PERSON period?

Gosh, this is getting harder and harder, they are all so talented, but if I had to pick only one, it would be........BENJI............

You all are right, he just makes me grin when he dances, slow or fast, I'm just beaming like a proud parent!
