Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

A big thanks to Selly from Dance Outlook for sending us the following writeup about the So You Think You Can Dance Tour visit to Kansas City. If you have been to a different city and have pictures, videos or want to write about your experience, then let us know. About one more month left for the So You Think You Can Dance tour and there are still tickets available for future tour stops.

Without further ado, here’s Selly’s experience and pictures from the So You Think You Can Dance Kansas City tour stop:
On Wednesday night, I attended the 2008 SYTYCD Tour at Sprint Center in Kansas City. I had amazing seats (thanks to presale) in the 5th row. I actually enjoyed the show more than I expected to. This has been my least favorite season, but I had a lot of fun seeing all of the dances live. I didn’t take notes, so this isn’t going to be a formal review by any means, but just some general notes/comments.

Kherington needs to close her mouth. Instead of smiling at inappropriate times like she did on the show, most of her facial expressions are approximately :O This was actually one of the first things I noticed during the show.

After the requisite video montage of Nigel’s Top 5 “memorable” (aka bad) auditions, the dancers came out and performed Shane Sparks’s Elevator group number.

The dancers were introduced and did mini-solos. They then re-introduced themselves live. Katee then said that she would not be performing at all that night due to injury. I knew she had hurt her back, but I still had hope for at least the Will/Katee Complexions Pas De Deux or at least No Air.

Twitchington performed first with their “We’re Escaped Convicts” hip hop by Napoleon and Tabitha. Among other dances, they did a “world tour” of dance styles from around the world featuring Thayne and Chelsie’s Cha Cha, Josh and Twitch’s Trepak which Gev introduced in Russian (and a dress), Courtney and Mark’s Viennese Waltz (once again, Gev wore a dress), and the group Bollywood number.

Some of the highlights of the night for me were Bleeding Love, Five Guys Named Moe, The Garden, The Dance, Twitchington’s “Bed” contemporary (which I have rose petals from in my purse), Money Money, and pretty much anything involving Chelsea H., Courtney, or Mark.

Despite the odd facial expression, I was actually really impressed by Kherington. Because all of the dances involving Katee except for group numbers were cut, some “emergency backup dances” were added in addition to the ones on the normal set list. These included Courtney and Josh’s Frankenstein hip hop (which I have no recollection of ever seeing before), Courtney and Gev’s Rumba, Jessica and Will’s “Shirt” contemporary, Marksie’s Kiss Kiss jazz and Twitchington’s Too Darn Hot Broadway.

I think there were a coupe other Courtney dances added, too. Because Katee did not perform, Jessica King did her solo which I was not at all impressed with. I know there’s a lot I haven’t talked about, but it’s really hard to remember everything. However, if you have any specific questions, it would probably make it a lot easier for me to come up with an answer than to post every single little detail that I can dredge up.

At one of the merchandise stands, I bought a tour t-shirt (just the regular one, not anything dancer-specific), leggings, and a program, all of which were ridiculously overpriced, but super cute. People were going crazy with grabbing fake money, rose petals, and confetti when they swept the stage off. I managed to grab some rose petals and ended up with a random lost bobby pin from the stage in an attempt to get confetti.

I took a lot of pictures before intermission, when my camera
conveniently died, but I’m fairly sure my camera is broken. They all
turned out massively blurry and most of them had weird lines across
them. I tried to pick out some of the better ones though.

Stay on your toes,

Selly from Dance Outlook

Two weeks until the So You Think You Can Dance tour kicks into action starting in Tacoma, WA. A little bit surprising to me, you can still purchase your So You Think You Can Dance Tour Tickets online. That link has the list of So You Think You Can Dance Tour dates and locations. Also, you can go straight to ticketmaster or eBay to buy SYTYCD tour tickets.

More importantly, I want to make a call out to all the So You Think You Can Dance fans out there. As much as I’d like to be able to, I can’t travel to every city of the SYTYCD tour (wouldn’t that be fun?) Since I can’t be there, I’d love to get reports, pictures and videos from the various So You Think You Can Dance tour stops.

In return for the writeup, you’ll see your name in “lights” on this blog and become a rock star dance star. I’d also be happy to link to your own site if you’d like.

Leave a comment on this post or send me a note on our Contact Us page if you’re interested in helping out. The more people that participate the more everyone can enjoy the whole tour. Not to mention, this is a good way to learn how other people were able to meet their favorite dancers before and after the show.

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.

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

If the So You Think You Can Dance Tour sells out, then you can always buy your So You Think You Can Dance Tour tickets on eBay. In past years there have been a lot of tickets on eBay, so it’s a good way to get tickets without having to beat the rush to buy tour tickets.

We’ve been the home of So You Think You Can Dance tour information in the past. We don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. Once the tour tickets go on sale, you can purchase most of the SYTYCD tour tickets on ticketmaster or I’m certain that So You Think You Can Dance Tour Tickets will be available on ebay even for sold out shows or to buy SYTYCD Tour presale code/passwords.

The following are the list of SYTYCD tour dates. I’m mostly just upset that Las Vegas didn’t make the list. Looks like I’m going to have to travel a bit to be able to see the SYTYCD tour.
