So You Think You Can Dance

Last night Kris and I went to the 'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 5 tour at Nationwide Arena! Let me tell you what - it was soooooo AWESOME!!! What fun! We both watched season 5 together and so when the tickets went on sale and saw they were coming to Columbus around my birthday, I figured it was worth the ticket $ to get a rare night out together and enjoy some amazing dancing in person!

I didn't know what to expect - I didn't know if they would do new dances, or the ones from the show, or what. I was pleased that they did have a couple of new dances, but over all, it was some of the best dances from season 5. And they were SO good! Over all, the narration, which was also done by the dancers, was a little cheesy and over-rehersed - I mean hey - they're dancers -not actors! But the dancing more than made up for it! It was awesome! And it was so fun to have a night out to relax and enjoy something other than diapers and temper tantrums! A huge thank you to my sister Amanda for watching my kids!!! You rock!

Her are my top 3 dances from Season 5. I took these from You Tube, so not sure if it's legal, but enjoy! They are great! I love a dance that has a story - and all 3 of these have awesome stories behind them!

This first one is about addiction - the woman is an addict and the man is the addiction keeping her 'trapped'. It brings me to tears.





This next one is about breast cancer and the struggle. It speaks for itself.




And this one is just cute - it's about a couple that are mad at eachother and can't sleep because of it - but they make up by the end. :) This one also is done by my 2 favorite dancers and season 5's winner - Jeanine.

The New Albany classic looked fun. I saw signs in Gahanna for it, I figured it was a big event. :)

Tiff and I were at the SYTYCD event at Nationwide also, not that we would have run into each other, but it was fun. Glad you enjoyed it. I liked the supergirls dance. They reminded me of powerpuff girls for some reason. :)
