SYTYCD Season 5 Tour – Atlanta
As tonight’s Season 6 Vegas Week episode was wrapping up, I received my media alert about the SYTYCD Season 5 tour date in Atlanta. Amanda and I are scheduled to attend and once we receive our credentials, we’ll be able to meet with the Top 10 dancers and ask them a few (quick, no doubt) questions.
There are a million things I could ask. But I worry that if I don’t prepare in advance, I’ll end up just asking Evan if he’ll marry me. 🙂 Or bashfully telling Jeanine how much she rocks.
And I’m *really* interested in what you’d like me to ask. When I got to interview the judges (Mary, Adam and Lil C) earlier this year in New Orleans, it was my mom who actually gave me the best question. She wanted me to ask Mary where the whole “tamale train” thing started. I waited till the other press had moved on to the other judges before asking Mary and I got a really interesting answer.
So, help Amanda and me out. If you could ask any of the Season 5 Top 10 dancers one question, what would it be?? Don’t forget – Caitlin and Jason will be there, too. They’re billed as “special guests” as they’re not technically part of the Top 10.
Enjoy this picture that came with the media alert.
You mean Caitlin and Phillip 😛 (excited i see :P)
Well I know WHEN Mary started using the hot tamale train but I guess my question is WHY a hot tamale train?
Also, I wondered what pushed the show to have three consistent judges vs. two plus 1 guest. Is Mary planning to choreograph? ;D
Question for Kupono: Growing up in Hawaii, I know Kamehameha (his high school) stresses musicality and performance. What was the turning point that triggered your pursuit and passion for dance at age 16? (since 16 is a lot later than most)
I flew to Chicago to view the tour since they don’t come to Hawaii, but I just wanted him to know that he’s still got fans that support him anywhere he goes 😀 (Hawaii represent! XD I totally screamed for him! ) All of his performances were among my favorites during the tour; even his…
*SPOILER*
DVD infomercial 😉
*END SPOILER*
If you have to pick only one question ask the Kupono one =D Thanks Em! Update when possible! Take plenty pictures!! RAWR! SYTYCD-a-holic!
@Christine: Great question, thanks! Mary said she’d always called dancers “hot tamales” during her career, but for some reason, she put Anya on the “hot tamale train” and it just kinda stuck. 🙂
