Review of So You Think You Can Dance

Hands down my favourite dance show on TV. I tried watching "Dancing with the Stars" when it first began, but it gets boring, only showing people attempting ballroom styles. It's very limited, whereas "So You Think You Can Dance" stretches dancers beyond their known styles, exposes the audience to many different styles (some that have not been repeated since), showing the audience some pretty amazing dance routines and choreographers, and a show which enables dancers not just to grow as dancers, but to move from dancer to choreographer for the show, to even a panel member.

It's an amazing show for the dance world, it never gets tired, yes they change the format occasionally, but I don't think it's ever a bad thing (except when, instead of a top 4, it was top 6). The show allows untrained dancers to make it to the top 20, and show them what they are capable of...as well as providing them opportunities for work after their time on the show is over and done with (movies, etc.). And, the judges don't just sit and judge, they get up and show the viewers what they themselves are capable of, which is also good entertainment.
