Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

Is any of the music going to make folks as rabid as last week’s music from Paula van Oppen’s audition (aka girl in yellow … till she changes clothes in Vegas)? Y’all were so good at helping us with the music last week, we’re gonna put this up immediately, as I add music so that you can suggest songs you think you hear. Let’s make it a game, shall we?

Lots of tappers maybe for Season 6’s Top 20! And we’re only one city in. And I love many of the contemporary girls already. What do y’all think?

My mom and I (we texted during the show, as usual) were both a little alarmed by the first auditioner – Cole Clemens.

That tap battle (“trading”? “trade off”?) was sick and so much fun. I was smiling the entire time. I’m gearing up for more Kasprzak. Did y’all catch “the other brother”?

I can’t wait to get to know many of these dancers more during Vegas week.
