Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

Former SYTYCD dancers have been tweeting about the Oscars for a while (as has Adam Shankman), so I was prepared to look for them. There were stunning performances to the nominated songs. The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers were amazing! I only managed to recognize Kayla dancing during the regular telecast (she was very prominent), but after watching Rickey’s video, I was able to identify more dancers – Kathryn, I’m pretty sure, and definitely Travis Wall. Among others that I’m sure you’ll catch. As always, Ricky has a great video from the Oscar performance, so check it out!

Rickey has a still of a Kupono sighting (HOW did he get that seat?!) and I think Kupono summed up Oscar night best via Twitter:

OSCARs was ABSOLUtELY RiDiCULOuS!!!! Now it’s off to the AFTeR PARtY for SCANDaLS of the YEAR!!!!!! 40 minutes ago via mobile web

But y’all, there is SO MUCH cool chatting happening on Twitter, you have to check out all your favorite dancers via John’s SYTYCD list.

I found some great videos for you. First, a “Meet the Choreographers” video with Adam and both Kayla and Travis as assistant choreographers. And a slew of fun audition videos, including a “Behind the Screen” one.

Yay to Adam for making his SYTYCD dancers so prominent at the Oscars. I hope he produces again!

We’re back once again with the latest videos from SYTYCD UK. As always, this is divided up into a bunch of clips (13 to be exact). SYTYCD UK does the audition show and the results show pretty much right after each other. So, this is both the performance and results show for SYTYCD UK week 2. Emilie has already posted the SYTYCD UK week 2 music in case you’re interested in downloading one of the songs on the show. Enjoy!

Shhhhh! Don’t tell John I’m sneaking onto the site to post this. Some friends of mine were in a spectacular dancing flash mob choreographed to OutKast’s “Hey Ya” . I can’t stop compulsively watching this video, so I thought y’all might like it.

The guy dancing on his own at the beginning is the choreographer of the mob’s routine, Leonard Augustus.

If you post a lot of comments saying how glad you are I posted this, John can’t be mad at me. It *is* dancing, after all, John, so it’s related!

I must admit that I don’t follow Blake McGrath all that much, but there’s no doubt he’s a great dancer and a really interesting personality. I usually hate people that are totally full of themselves, but Blake is so full of himself that he makes me laugh. Well, I’m sure those that follow Blake McGrath have known this for a couple weeks, but it looks like Blake is trying to be a music artist now. Here’s a sneak peek video of Blake McGath’s first music video:

Kind a cool looking video. I think Blake’s really smart to mix in some amazing dancing with his music. Means he could do really well. You can follow Black on Twitter @blakemcgrath.
