This week's SYTYCD was really good; they have a lot of really good dancers, just all-around solid people. Even the hip-hoppers are really adaptable and top-notch.
One of my favorite couples at the moment is Melanie and Marko...
That's from last week's episode. Melanie is pretty stocky, but has incredible dancing skill, great moves (she outdid herself on tonight's episode, but the above is representative).
I also like Miranda, hope she advances. We'll see.
One amusingly subversive thing they have in SYTYCD are all of the pairings where white girls dance with black boys and/or vice versa. I'm sure there are some retrograde nooks of the country where that can still rankle. You'd think we'd be beyond that in the 21st century, but noooo....
Anyway, good episode tonight. Great dancers, good performances. Even the Broadway one was interesting (typically, I loathe the Broadway ones, just because they're so stagey, but this one was artfully done).
