SYTYCD Top Twenty perform for the First Time

SYTYCD Top Twenty
I am so excited for this season. I’m not sure who’s going to win but I’m rooting for Malece and Jade. The opening dance was so amazing! I loved the look at behind the scenes as well as the choreographer’s cameos. The hallway scene was my favorite. Side note: NAPPYTABS BABY! And I’m excited to see Wayne be a judge again. I’ll be touching base on what I think are the best and worst routines of the night.

Travis Wall “Love is Blind”
I love Jasmine M so very much. Her hair is amazing. Travis is very clever. This could have been really bad. I’m very impressed with how well they danced together without seeing. Do you really think they couldn’t see though? That’s a huge risk to have blind dancers. Their partnering was so beautiful. Her legs are just so beautiful. They really had the emotion of being in love. I really loved it.

Travis Wall “Silver screen”
Malece and Jade is a stellar combination. I love how elegant and smooth she can be and still so powerful against Jade. Travis did such a good job blending both their styles together. Such a great, great piece.

Sean Cheeseman Afro jazz
Animator + Ballroom + Afro jazz? Say what? I was really scared about this one to be honest. It had me mesmerized. I like that there was some isolations thrown in there for BluPrint. It was so powerful and joyful at the same time.

Sonya Tayeh “Bottom of the River”
I love Sonya. She’s my favorite choreographer of all time. Jasmine H and Aaron are power houses alone. Together they are beastly. I almost feel bad for the other couples. She is all leg and he is all muscle. Her turns seemed a bit off to me. The whole piece was very Sonya and I loved all of it.

Final Thoughts
I think the hip hop groups are in trouble as well as the jive. Jasmine H and Aaron and Malece and Jade are the couples to beat. It started as a very good season and I am excited to see how it progresses. I will not be happy when any of them leave.

So You Think You Can Dance 2013 Vegas Week Video

We’ve been talking for a while about doing a video where the writers of Pure SYTYCD talk about the various things that happened on So You Think You Can Dance. Marianya and myself finally scheduled a hangout and talked about SYTYCD 2013 Vegas Week and projected who we thought would be in the SYTYCD top 20. It was a lot of fun analyzing the various genres including how few contemporary men there could be in the SYTYCD top 20. Plus, I pushed Marianya into predicting the SYTYCD Season 10 top 4. We have it on video now, so you can hold us accountable.

Enough summary, if you’re a SYTYCD fan then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this video:

We’d love to hear if you agree or disagree in the comments of this post or on the YouTube comments.

Also, let us know what you think about the video. Do you like the format? Should we do it again? Would you like to join us in a future G+ hangout?

SYTYCD Vegas Week Drinking Game

I’ve been watching So You Think You Can Dance for quite a while now and I’ve noticed some tropes that happen every single year. Despite the dancing getting better, the stories being more and more dramatic and the injuries going up every year, it can be a bit boring to have the same trope year after year. That’s why they invented drinking games.

You don’t have to do this with alcohol. I would recommend doing it with soda or water. Fill up a tall glass and get ready for Vegas week.

Note: I created this before the Vegas show aired. Judges/choreographers could be different.

Initial Solos

Take a shot/sip if:

A judge cries during a solo

Mary screams

Lil C makes an elaborate analogy

Lil C uses a fancy word to sound smart and eloquent

Extra shot/sip: if the other judges are confused at his vocabulary too

Adam starts screaming

Different Styles

Take a shot/sip if:

A dancer exclaims “This is hard!” or “I’m tired”

A dancer mugs to the camera (optional to avoid alcohol/water poisoning)

A choreographer yells at a dancer

Bonus if it’s Mia, Tyce or Sonya

The Judges say “I expected more out of you” or “We’re disappointed in you”

Somebody hurts themselves

Dancers start crying and/or claim they don’t understand what the judges are looking for

A dancer out of their element gets called out for being out of their element

A dancer quits because they can’t do choreography

The Group Number

This one is ripe with tropes. Take smaller sips to avoid dying.

Two dancers of different styles don’t get along

Two dancers start screaming at each other

Dancers scream “I’m done!” or “I’ve had enough”

One dancer bashes a member of their group to the camera behind their back

Groups go to bed early after giving up

Dancers admit to being nervous about their group

The Judges are not impressed

Bonus if the judges say “I’m disappointed” or “I expected more”

Dance for Your Life

If your favorite dancer gets sent home, drown your sorrows and drain your glass.

Picking the Top Twenty

Take a shot/sip if:

The judges psyche out a contestant

A dancer with an entire back story gets sent home

A dancer the show spent no time on in auditions makes the top twenty (there’s always one)

 

If your favorite dancer makes the top twenty, drain your glass. WOO HOO! TOP TWENTY!

My life can be summed up in the following two quotes: 1) "I am married to engineering and am its faithful wife by day, but at night my wanderlust takes hold and the arts becomes my jealous paramour." and... 2) "Engineering is my safety net. Writing is my passion. Acting is my escape when the other two become too much." So where does dancing fit in? Pretty much anywhere at this point... =)

So You Think You Can Dance 2013 Premiere Commentary

Note: I realize this is a little late, but fans of the show won’t mind. Plus, this is an opportunity to introduce you to a new writer named Rachel who sent me this post. If you like this post, let us know in the comments so we can get Rachel to write more posts in the future.

The new season is finally here! I’ve been watching SYTYCD since the second season and got both my mom and my roommate into the show (just like I got them into dance moms, project runway, and many other reality shows). Last season was the season for ballet dancers, and so far this season is full of beautiful, emotional contemporary and jazz dancers who tell their story through their movements. But you shouldn’t count the hip hop dancers out just yet (especially since they keep teasing the exorcist guy from last year).

First thing I noticed was the fact that they have the same opening from what Season 5? Have they just run out of money to keep making new openings? I mean the opening is cool and all but the dancers are out of date. I kinda feel bad for those who won and don’t get a little cameo in the beginning. Do the new viewers know what dancers their watching? I could just be really nitpicky. Second thing I noticed was the gratuitous use of Fall Out Boy’s new song “My Song Knows What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up).” My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up) - My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up) - Single Last year they used Panic! At The Disco’s “Ready to Go” Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind) - Vices & Virtues (Deluxe Version) which caused me to squeal and sing along loudly (much to the annoyance of my roommates and everyone in the TV room). I am a die hard FOB fan and was really pleased to hear the song in the montages.

Okay, enough of my nitpicking the background, let’s actually talk about the dancing! I’m not a ‘trained’ dancer. I’m a dancer because I love to dance and I love the art of it all. I’m very good at picking winners, and there was only one season where I rooted for someone I didn’t think was going to win (he was my friend’s bf at the time, so I had to). I called the last season being for the ballet dancers, but this season, I’m not too sure on an exact person yet. There have been some very beautiful dancers so far with a lot of great stories to tell. Let’s hope they last through Vegas week. Side Note: Who else hates it when they spend forever on a dancer’s story, only to kick them off during Vegas? Like the girl with one hand a few seasons ago. Anyway, THIS SEASON!

The Winner of SYTYCD Armenia
That was an interesting twist, I must say. I knew they had different versions of the show and our version has taken choreographers and ideas for the format itself and incorporated them. I didn’t expect him to be Latin Ballroom either. I was impressed they did the jive too. You rarely see Latin couples doing something other than salsa at auditions. I think it’s because that the style that audiences relate more to and can recognize. Anyway, the jive. His kicks were great. He didn’t have the best legs I’ve ever seen, but it should be interesting to see how he does this time around. Side Note: Can we celebrate our winner this season by tossing them above our heads too? That looked like fun.

The Dislocated Knee
Like the girl who misspelled Vegas “V-E-A-G-S,” this girl will forever be known as her incident at her audition more than her audition itself. I personally want to know what made her choose dance over what it was she was doing before. I’m really glad she made it through her audition because that dislocation looked bad. And just in case you missed it, the cameras showed it to you again. In slow motion. But don’t worry! It popped back in again. Let’s show you that in slow motion too!

I almost changed the channel. No thank you. Ew. Anyway! I’ll be happy to see how she dances fully healed.

The Crying Dad
I was in the bathroom when this started, so I’m not sure how her dad ended up on the stage. It was great to watch. My parents are masters of the art of embarrassing parent dancing. This guy was good. Fortunately, his daughter was better. She blew me away. I think she could be a top contender. I’ve seen a pattern with the dancer’s the judges are picking. They like the ones who tell a story through their bodies. She danced with all her heart right through the tip of her fingers. And there was her dad, sobbing. In any reality show I watch, I love it when do the dramatic push-in on the crying dad. That’s my favorite. Doesn’t matter what style they’re dancing or singing, there’s dad crying like a baby. It’s so sweet!

Those are my thoughts on the new season. I think we should be on the look out for those emotional beautiful dancers. I don’t think just one style will win this year. I think it’s the person and the story that will prevail.

Mary Murphy on 10 Seasons of SYTYCD and SYTYCD 2013

Mary Murphy has been one of the mainstays of SYTYCD, so it’s interesting to hear her thoughts about this upcoming season and her experience over the past 10 years (although she wasn’t on all 10 seasons). She’s right that the 10 seasons have passed so quickly. I haven’t seen the numbers for SYTYCD season 10 yet, but I hope they’re doing well so we get a SYTYCD 11.
