So You Think You Can Judge Dance
After having neglected the Dance portion of the New York Times for far too long, I decided to catch up. What is the first article that catches my eye? A critique on one of my favorite shows on television: So You Think You Can Dance. Do I understand that this show is based on high ratings, dizzying lights, elaborate costumes, and teary eyed drama? Yes. And I love every second. I admit, the lack of classical choreography and densely packed combos of turns and leaps are flaws in the show's makeup, but it brings dance into the homes of many who don't consider dance to be an athletic endeavor. This article shook me out of an entrancing stupor full of British accents, phony laughs, and competition-girl smiles. Are children going to be in awe of a world renown teacher of ballet, or will they only care about how many YouTube hits they have and whether or not they choreographed for Nigel Lythgoe? It's certainly not the most important issue in the dance world, but it's one to think about.

Back from my travels.
Sartorialist sightings around the city.
if only I could be so lucky.
I can almost see the heat reverberating off of each backdrop. Almost.
