I like THIS show

Cool. I respect that but.......

I just don't think that the audience is a seeing a real representation of the dance community on SYTYCD.  It's turned into competition kids, hip hoppers, and ballroom kids. Over the past few seasons on the show the genre pool has gotten smaller and smaller. I want to see some real technicians that train to perform because that's all they know.

There have been some talented people. The show should be PACKED with super talented people. The show has started to become too incestuous with family members, friends, and the same studios getting free advertisement.

I want Twyla Tharp to be a guest and create a piece with some hip hop dancers. I want to see Mark Morris take some competition kids and create something different. I want to see Peter Martins, Christopher Wheeldon, Desmond Richardson create something challenging with the ballroom kids. I can't sit through anymore of Mia's work on the show. She great, innovator, blah, blah, blah. I just think if you eat lobster everyday then you start to get bored of it.  P.S. I am allergic to shellfish.

The title of the show asks the dancer a question. Being a trained techincal dancer, I would want to step into that show not knowing the answer to question. If they keep using the same small pool of L.A. choreographers then they should just rename the show, "So You Want To Be On TV?"  The contestants are quite aware of what to expect on the show. There is this fake rehearsed facial expression I hate seeing when I am judging. I see it more and more with these FOX brand robots.
