So You Think You Can Dance: I Called It

In my last post about season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance I predicted who I thought should and would win. I was pretty confident that Eliana would win, but I wasn't sure about Chehon. Cyrus was never in the bottom three the whole season, and he was very likable and popular, so I thought maybe he would win. I hoped Chehon would win. He did!

A ballet dancer has never won So You Think You Can Dance, and this season two did. Nice.

Take a look at their auditions, and you'll see why they deserved to win because of their talent.

Chehon didn't get to show all he could do when he and Eliana were able to do a ballet routine, but you can see the talent both of them have.

So You Think You Can Dance: Dancing is Not About The Set

Many choreographers on So You Think You Can Dance like to use set pieces and props. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they just overshadow the routine.

There were two routines on Wednesday's episode that used sets that I felt detracted from the dances. One was in a dentist office, and the other was in a bath tub. My question is - why? I mean, a bath tub?

And speaking of the routine in the dentist office, I wonder why every routine has to have a story. I can understand Broadway routines having a story, but I think too often the stories get in the way of the dance.

By the way, my favorite routine of the night didn't have a set, props, or a story. It was just a fun Bollywood number with Witney and Chehon.



This week's favorite routine from a past season is also a Bollywood routine featuring Joshua and Katee. In fact, it's the first Bollywood routine from any season of So You Think You Can Dance. It's a great routine, even if it does have a story. *wink*
