Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

2 of the more memorable dances of the night on So You Think You Can Dance were by Lacey Schwimmer and Neil Haskell. The latin jazz wouldn’t have been as memorable if Neil wasn’t without his shirt. However, Neil did bare his chest for the Latin Jazz routine. I’m sure the ladies love Neil for it. There is a lot of talk around the blogosphere that people didn’t like Mia’s choreography for Lacey and Neil’s dance. I agree completely. It wasn’t anything special. Without the story it would have barely been worth watching. Of course the judges love Mia and so they raved about it. I can appreciate the personal nature of it, but the dance itself was little dancing so it’s not making my top 10 dances on So You Think You Can Dance.

Set aside the personal notes and the shirt off and Neil and Lacey had a lackluster night. Luckily the choreography and wardrobe departments came through for them last night.
