15 Best Routines From So You Think You Can Dance

When I can't sleep, this is what I do. I watch every possible So You Think You Can Dance Youtube video. I seriously can't get enough of them. I know that's like all I can talk about, but if you watch the show at all you know why I am so obsessed. In this 40 minuet video I think I went through all emotions possible. There were dances that made me so excited and just wanted to dance. I caught myself moving my hips and feet a little bit and just loving it. The next second I felt such an emotional feeling with addiction no matter what it may be to. Next I felt a connection with nature and animals and the beauty of dance that was so elegant, and right out of that I felt the sadness of loving someone with cancer. I smiled and I cried all in this 40 minuets. I didn't want it to end, and I was sad that it was only the first few seasons, but I was also so happy because amazing dances like these should not be closed. They should be celebrated as much as possible because their beauty goes so far. It is crazy that one dance can be a switch to your emotion and change that fast and hard. I think that is why I love dance so much, because it is so powerful and sometimes there aren't words to describe your feelings.

Love what you do and do what you love.

Beautuful Costumes For Less

Biketards are one of my favorite style of costumes. They look so great on stage. I found this one on Just For Kix and I really love it! Lace is so beautiful and is always a good choice. When costumes are structurally different, it really catches the judges eye. It's nice because you don't have to go to a really expensive costume company to find a beautiful costume like this. You can find it in Just For Kix or I'm sure in Discount Dance Supply, and then I would even add studs to it. Another thing like this biketard I really like is when the leo is all lace and then there is a different colored bra and bottoms underneath it. It adds something different. Who doesn't love a beautiful costume for a great price?!

Let's talk about So You Think You Can Dance!

Let's talk about So You Think You Can Dance! First of all the bottom three girls and guys.. do you agree with who they were? It's hard to say considering I love all of the dancers, and could just watch all of them dance every week. I am sad that Amber and Brandon went home. She was such a beautiful contemporary dancer, but I do agree that she didn't give as much as she probably could have. I do however wish Brandon could have stayed. He is a stepper and he did such an amazing job with the jazz dance with Amber. Dareian did amazing on his dance for his life solo, but for me it seems like a toss up between those two who should have gone home. Maybe if I would have voted it would have helped!

I think most would agree that the last episode's favorite dance of the night was Chehon and Whitney's, "I Will Always Love You." She absolutely did not look like a ballroom dancer one bit. Everyone always compares her and Lindsay. Considering they both had contemporary, I think it showed who is ahead of each other. Lindsay did a good job with hers but not as well as Whitney.

Was this your favorite dance or was it a different one? Do you agree with who went home, or do you think someone else should have gone home?
