Happy Valentine’s, dancers! While you might not be able to celebrate with your dance besties or your #Galentines this year, you can celebrate by watching some of the most romantic routines “So You Think You Can Dance” history. So grab some chocolate, and be prepared to fill the “So You Think”-shaped hole in your heart […]
In light of the guaranteed stress awaiting us next #ElectionWeek, we recommend spending your weekend eating lots of candy you bought for yourself (hello, socially-distanced Halloween) and taking a blast to the much simpler past a la Irving Berlin’s 1935 movie musical Top Hat, starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

As if last night’s Oscars didn’t feature enough dance goodness (still obsessed with that swoon-worthy Justin Timberlake opener), “Good Morning America” gifted us with another fab show this morning—featuring a few of our fave dancers. The performance on “GMA” was set to La La Land‘s catchy opening song “Another Day of Sun” and featured some […]
