Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

I believe that this quite possibly could be the most popular and most technical dance ever performed on So You Think You Can Dance. Benji and Heidi are just so refined, so technical and so precise in this dance. It’s like they’ve been doing it since they were kids. Oh that’s right, they have been.

Enjoy the Black Mambo sung by Angel and the Mambokats by Benji Schwimmer and Heidi Groskreutz

Disclaimer: I have a huge Heidi fan, so anything I say will certainly be biased when it comes to Heidi.

Courtney Galiano and Gev Manoukian dance to Lost by Anouk I’m putting this performance as one of the best from last season and somehow got lost in the show. Watching it again I enjoyed it even more than the first time I saw it.

Warning: Mary Murphy scream at 5:53.

Mary Murphy has long been acclaimed the Queen of Scream. While the dancers certainly love to hear her scream since that means she liked their performance, many of the shows fans have often complained about her screaming. So, let’s hear your opinions on the infamous Mary Murphy.

Also, feel free to rant, complain and/or compliment Mary Murphy in the comments.

This commercial was for So You Think You Can Dance Canada and was choreographed by Blake McGrath (from the original So You Think You Can Dance). Interesting flair which is totally like Blake to do. He did something that looked very similar with Janet Jackson

SONG: When I Grow Up - Pussycat Dolls

Today, I found a post in the ticketmaster affiliate program that I’m apart of that basically announced a dance contest.

Well, I personally don’t dance, and so I decided that since this site is run by the community, I might as well invite the community to submit their best videos in the comments of this post. I’ll choose my favorite and send it into the contest on behalf of the participant.

For those that don’t win, I’ll also post them on my site (assuming you don’t ask me not to do that).

The only rule is that you have to own the video that you submit. To win, you’ll have to send me the actual video file so I can verify that it’s really you.

In return for your submission I’ll give you the tickets to the So You Think You Can Dance tour and $100. Sound good?

The entry time frame is from now until September 25, 2008. Let’s see those dancing videos.

I don’t know how many of you have been following my list of So You Think You Can Dance Music, but one of the interesting artists that’s had their music on multiple seasons of So You Think You Can Dance is Elisa Toffoli.

So far, Elisa Toffoli’s music has been on SYTYCD at least 3 times that I know of:
Lacey Schwimmer and Kameron dancing to Elisa’s song “Dancing” to Mia Michaels choreography. Here’s a video of Lacey Schwimmer and Kameron dancing to “Dancing”:

Some people have called this dance their favorite SYTYCD dance of all time. My favorite part is when Lacey leaps into Kameron’s arms at about the 1:15 mark.

The song Dancing sung by Elisa was also performed by Kelli Baker during the Salt Lake City/Dallas audition show:

Finally, Courtney Galiano danced a Top 6 solo to the song “Rock Your Soul” by Elisa

Well, it turns out that Lacey Schwimmer made an unofficial video for Elisa Toffoli’s song “Rainbow.” Honestly, I would have loved to see Lacey do a Rhumba to this song, but Lacey actually did a pretty credible job as an actor in this video. Enjoy:

Also, watch this blog over the next couple weeks, because I plan on giving away some free Elisa Toffoli CDs. My only hint is that if you want some free Elisa Toffoli CDs and music, then it would be a good idea to start adding thoughtful comments to my blog.

A little bit of So You Think You Can Dance season 4 wrap up. Enjoy the video.

Who’s going to the So You Think You Can Dance Tour?

I’m sure all you Joshua Allen fans are going to love watching this video.

Completing the list of the videos from the SYTYCD finale, here’s all the incredible special group performances. The Wade Robson Cirque Du Soleil video is incredibly unique and different, but the battle between Phil and Rob was the best part of the whole night in my opinion.
