NYC is bursting with promising ballet dancers this week, thanks to the Youth America Grand Prix finals held at Lincoln Center’s Koch Theater. To all the competitors (at YAGP and beyond), we’re shouting a big “Merde!!” your way. We can’t wait to see what amazing things these kids will do next. Don’t believe us? Just […]
Oh, “So You Think You Can Dance,” you always sneak up on me. How are we already down to the Top 6 dancers?! I’m not ready for it to end! But, I am ready for tonight’s show. Not only is my favorite Jesse Tyler Ferguson joining the judging panel tonight, but they’ve also got a […]
It’s lights-out for the flashiest show on network television. The show’s over for “Smash.” NBC’s Broadway drama was cancelled last week after two seasons. And while I know, given the verrrrry mixed critical reactions to the troubled show, that not everyone’s upset by the news, I’ll admit it: I totally am. Yes, the plotlines have […]

Today is the day! Before long we’ll crown our two (two!) “So You Think You Can Dance” champions! We’ll know who’ll be on our December cover! It’s finally happening! I’m so excited that I overdid it a little on the caffeine this morning! But really: This should be a fantastic finale episode, right? And DS […]
I don’t really know how to explain this video to you. It’s one of those pieces of genius that sounds so wrong in theory, yet is so right in practice. Here’s the best I can do: It’s a Harry Potter spoof that re-imagines Harry and Voldemort’s big climactic battle as that awesome Alex Wong/tWitch hip […]
This is it! It’s the performance finale and it’s time for Eliana, Cyrus, Tiffany and Chehon to show America why they each deserve to be named America’s Favorite Dancer (plus the top guy and girl land a spot on the December cover of Dance Spirit!). With such awesomely talented dancers—and heavy hitter Rob Marshall sitting […]
