The “So You Think You Can Dance” Top 10: By definition, that’s a pretty rarefied crowd. At this point in the competition there are no obvious weak links in the contestant lineup, so eliminations are starting to feel…weird. We’re invested in all the remaining dancers, which means, to horribly misquote Sheryl Crow, now every cut […]
Christina Perri (photo by Yu Tsai) You probably remember Stacey Tookey’s contemporary piece “Jar of Hearts” on “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 7—partly because of the ultra-gorgeous choreography, and partly because the song’s been in your head ever since. (Click here in case you need a refresher.) At the time, Christina Perri’s song […]
Arg, it’s the toughest cut yet. And, is it just me, or is everyone starting to look a little bit tired? But on a positive note, once we’re down to the Top 10, every vote will really, really count—and we’ll all find out that it’s possible to get just a little bit more obsessed. Here […]

(Award for Choreographic Excellence) Awards in NYC, Lindsay Nelko tied for third place, winning $3,000 to produce her own show in conjunction with Capezio and Break the Floor Productions.

Hello, friends! Last night the Top 18 performed on “So You Think You Can Dance,” and that means we had to narrow the group down from the super great to the incredibly, phenomenally great. I won’t lie: Letting two contestants go was a little painful. But there were plenty of things to enjoy along the […]
You know we’re obsessed with animation, as evidenced by our constant and consistent gushing on the topic. But this new video with our perennial favorite Cyrus “Glitch” Spencer and one of my early “So You Think You Can Dance” faves Jaja Vankova is on another level entirely.
