So You Think You Can Dance

Not only is SYTYCD an entire show revolving around my biggest passion, it brings dance (and competitive dance at that) to the mainstream. Millions of people, dancers and non-dancers alike can enjoy and appreciate the beauty and incredible hard work that goes into dance. I've spent a lot of time defending dance as a true athletic skill, as an art and a sport. But as this, and the many other dance shows, grow in popularity, I've spent less time defending myself as a dancer and more time being praised for it. The hard work feels like it's paying off.

Thanks, SYTYCD, for bringing dance into the homes of millions of viewers with some of the most brilliant and talented dancers and choreographers there are.
