This is just scary funny. I don’t think words can really describe it. Just watch the video embedded below and you’ll see what I mean.

Here’s the video of my favorite dance from last week. It was Twitch and Kherington Payne’s Top 18 Viennese Waltz to Celine Dion’s A New Day choreographed by Jean Marc Generaux for his daughter. So, I’m a sucker for Kherington, Twitch and Viennese Waltz. However, I usually hate Jean Marc Generaux. I’m glad he’s stepped up his choreography. Enjoy the video.

Here’s a second version
of Kherington and Twitch’s Waltz in case one gets taken down.

Just to show how much I love Viennesse Waltz and probably Celine Deon’s song, it looks like this isn’t the first time a Waltz like this has been done on so You Think You Can Dance. Here’s the version that So You Think You Can Dance Australia did that is at least as good and possibly better than Twitch and Kherington.

Ok, now that I’ve proclaimed my personal bias for Kherington Payne I can show off all the cool videos of Kherington Payne that there are around the web. Turns out that she filmed a bunch of really cool instructional videos for people beginning to dance with a little bit of Kherington Payne modeling to go with it. Here’s a sample of what I’m talking about.

There’s a whole channel of these videos. It’s really fun to watch and really shows a personal side of Kherington that you don’t usually get to see on So You Think You Can Dance. Plus, it’s basically a ton of simple dance moves with Kherington having a bunch of fun.

Last week, I began my love of Kherington Payne. It happens every season. One of the dancers becomes my favorite and this year it’s Kherington. In my new addiction, I found Kherington Payne’s original audition for the show and remembered how much I loved it too. What can I say a dancer that plays soccer is freakin awesome. Here’s a look at Kherington’s original So You Think You Can Dance Audition in case you missed it.
