I know we're all supposed to love hating the tv dance shows. But I'm surprisingly impressed with So You Think You Can Dance. The technical ability of the contestants is far higher than in the other shows, and that means the choreographers aren't limited, and some of those choreographers are just amazing. Sure, the tango is always godawful, whether ballroom or Argentine. But the contemporary, the jazz, the hip hop - a lot of those routines are really good. Look at this quirky contemporary routine by guest choreographer Sonia - a battle/flirtation between two comic book characters.
Or this group piece by the ever-genius Mia Michaels.
Just don't go searching for the tango. Terrible.

Oh, I don't know. She shows plenty of panties in her Tango. Apparently THE latest trend in tango...
Did you see this year's tango where Nigel claimed that old tangueros dance with a cigarette in their mouths and a glass of whisky in their hands? Apparently, 'if there's no sleaze, you're just doing the (ballroom) tango with some calf bumping.' I think that may be the worst thing I've ever heard a judge say about tango on one of these shows.
You are joking about that, Psyche?!
My lord, what an idiot.
Sadly, no, no joke.
It must be an amazing process to see where they get these expert "judges."
Time to unplug the boob tube.
So, what part of the world are you in these days?
Sad but true, TB. I saw him utter them.
