Last night was the first full scale partners competition. 2 hours long! Ten couples were assigned a random partner and a style of dance. The styles ranged from hip-hop to Broadway, lyrical to mambo. The partners have a week to conquer their dance routine--and the results are sometimes breathtakingly beautiful, sometimes comically laughable.
I may not be able to convince any of you that it's a good show. But if you're bored and looking for something to do on Wednesday night, give SYTYCD a shot! I had four people at my house, skeptical at first, gradually find themselves sucked in to this fun show. Here's a run down of my favorite contestants:
Benji Schwimmer is a West Coast Swing specialist from Redlands, Calif. Last night he danced a hip hop routine that was fabulous! I found the video online, I'm working on getting it posted. He is a little white-boyish, but in some ways it's so endearing! After he danced one of the judges asked him about the two years he gave up dancing. "It was so I could serve a mission for my church in Mexico," little Benji said. Hello white Mormon boy booting shaking. I love it. And yes, I know his pictures makes him look like a goofy white Mormon. He's allowed.

Natalie and Musa are the most beautiful couple. She has the hottest bod! They danced a mambo last night that was pretty sexy.
Travis and Martha are fabulous dancers together--they did a Broadway piece last night that was so fun to watch! Travis has amazing footwork. CHeck out their video here:

People. I know this is a guilty pleasure. It's a little ridiculous, but it's OH so addicting. I tap my foot during the entire show. After it ended I gave in to the urge and broke it down on our hardwood for a song or two.
