dance/ reality tv

does anyone actually enjoy these dance reality show? I can never sit through any of them. I really really try. I last 10 minutes tops during any of the programs before I flip the channel. I don't want to watch auditions on TV for entertainment. I hate sitting through them in person. I would rather watch a reality dance show of the drama that happens backstage of a real show. For all of you that haven't yet been in a real huge show:  The real entertainment is the stuff you never see or hear about.

So turn off the TV and go do a plie.

I like THIS show

Although many dance reality shows are fluff, I've got to say that "So You Think You Can Dance" comes closest to demonstrating the diversity of styles that dance has to offer. No TV program can ever truly exemplify what goes on in the professional dance world. But, the talent on SYTYCD is pretty impressive, and if it gets a few more couch potatoes in America talking about chaines and grand jetes, then I'm all for it!

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.

Just Enjoy The Show and the Raw Talent!

Hey all you high techno dancers out there, please temper your technical eye and just enjoy the show. I appreciate what Katie said about being grateful that the art form is getting the exposure. Through that medium, the GIFTED, "not trained yet" dancers will develop even more of an appeal to invest themselves into dance with a kind of show like this. Being a gifted dancer with some training myself, I can appreciate all that this kind of show offers to people who, like me, couldn't afford a "dance studio" when the gift was ripening, but now has an outlet to let the world see what is naturally there, i.e. Joshua Allen and Twitch. Yes, they are hip hop(pers?) as some one has stressed earlier, but haven't they handled the other genres of this art form just as well as someone who's been trained for years? Yeah, that's gift! So please don't hate, just APPRECIATE!
By the way, the person who I thought would've been dancing in the finale tonight was a highly technical dancer. I believe he was the best and that was WILL. But where is he? We know that trained dancers can dance. They better- with all those years of training? Yeah, but how about someone who hasn't been trained but yet gifted? Gifted enough to perform what you've been doing for years in, often time, one week. Ok.
Moving on.......My guess, the winner.......Joshua Allen!
