3 Days Left

Only three days left until the "So You Think You Can Dance" concert! I am so excited I can hardly stand the wait. I bought tickets for the show and am bringing a good friend of mine to watch the fab top ten in all their glory. I have been obsessed with every season, but the choreography this time around was phenomenal. It's not very often that you get to see some of the most talented choreographers from all over the world come together for one show. The best part of it all is that it was free. Blissfully, free entertainment every Wednesday and Thursday during the summer. Though I'm paying a pretty penny for the show this weekend I'd pay more if I had too! As with every season there's always at least one Mormon on the show. Good old Benji won it for us during the second season, and others have followed at least to the top ten. This year's Chelsea was home taught by a close family friend of ours. Small world, ehh! Dance really does dominate in Utah.

I love dancing and for those of you who don't know I danced all growing up. I wasn't fantastic but I was passionate about it. I competed, danced with studios, and did musical theatre. I miss it terribly--ahh the good old days. I thought I would be dancing my whole life but alas a lame back injury during my junior year of high school forced me to quit. I was heartbroken. After that other parts of my life just took over. With Americorps, college, meeting my awesome hubby, and the kiddos I haven't been able to dance much over the last few years. One day I'll get started again. Once Shawn graduates from school I'll be enrolling in a class, yipee!

So here are pics of my two favorite contestants from this season. Wouldn't it be cool if I took these photos? Ha, only in my dreams! The first is Will who truly was the most gifted dancer I have ever watched. His technique was complete perfection and his movement was so fluid, natural, and emotionally stirring. The second photo is of Mark. He had this great corkiness about him and danced with tremendous passion, character, and humor.



Thanks for reading about one of my many obsessions :)
