SYTYCD Flashback – Robert Muraine’s Audition

I’m not sure there’s much argument that Robert Muraine had to be one of, if not the best So You Think You Can Dance audition ever. It was creative, it was unique it was hilarious and was truly incredible to watch.

Watching him dance makes you wonder how many other dancers like him are left out there in the world that people know nothing about.

So You Think You Can Dance Canada Winner – Nicolas Archambault

Congratulations to Nicolas Archambault for winning So You Think You Can Dance Canada!! I must admit that I was personally a little bit disappointed. I’d really grown to love Allie, but being honest with myself I can say that Nico was a great dancer and deserved to win also. I guess we all just have different preferences in the dancing we like and I preferred Allie to Nico.

Of course, for those of you who have been watching and voting in our So You Think You Can Dance Canada poll. You would have already known that Nico was going to win it all. What can I say? My readers are the best So You Think You Can Dance fans on the planet and they know their dancing.

Before we end the Canadian season of So You Think You Can Dance, I want to give a big shout out to Canada’s dancers. It’s been great fun to watch the dancing. I honestly don’t see a huge difference between Canada and the US. They are both wonderful to watch with unique dancers in both locations. Thanks for getting us through the fall and early Winter. Now I guess I just have to find So You Think You Can Dance Australia to get me through to Spring.

Best of luck to Nico Archambault and the other members of the top 4: Allie Bertram, Miles Faber and Natalli Reznik. Enjoy yourselves on the So You Think You Can Dance Canada tour.

Picture of Benji Schwimmer at Dancing with the Stars Finale

Last week my wife and I were lucky enough to be able to attend the Dancing with the Stars finale live. You can read more about it over on Pure Dancing with the Stars. After the show, I must admit that the person I wanted to meet most wasn’t really a part of Dancing with the Stars. It was someone in the audience supporting his sister Lacey Schwimmer. So, I made a fool of myself and headed over and introduced myself to Benji Schwimmer. Here’s a picture with Benji right after the finale.

Benji was very kind to us. We chatted with him for a few minutes asking him about what was new with him. He told us about a couple movies that he’d been working on. At least one of the movies Benji helped produce. Of course they are both dancing movies, but I believe he said that they had some comedy also. Should be fun to see when those come out.

Benji also told us that he canceled that week’s choreography with So You Think You Can Dance Canada in order to be there to see his sister perform on the finale of Dancing with the Stars. What a great big brother. I also think that Canada might be seeing a whole lot more of Benji on the show in the future. Canada will be happy about that.

Yes, I was a bit flustered in his presence and forgot to ask him the most relevant question of all: “Would Benji be joining Dancing with the Stars and start competing against his sister?” The rumors have him possibly coming back so ABC has the sibling storyline which may be gone if Julianne ends up leaving. However, I have a feeling that Benji is plenty busy right now and so we probably won’t be seeing him on Dancing with the Stars anytime soon.

Benji did however say that him and the girl he was with were competing at Disneyland the next day in the Swing Dance Championships (if my memory serves me correct). Kind of cool to see him still competing in that competition.

In case Benji finds this post, thanks Benji for being so gracious. It was a real pleasure meeting you.
