Ever since the vacation in Michigan, our very own LeahC has been involved in some rather unsavory activities. I don’t think there’s any question that my sister-in-law is to blame. My sister-in-law and her “shows”. Yes, I’m of course referring to Leah’s new obsession with So You Think You Can Dance (or, as it’s more commonly known, #sytycd).
But I suppose that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that I kind of pretty much like the show. It’s sort of a little bit rather a lot entertaining and now I’m all sucked in. I don’t know if it’ll follow American Idol and only hold my attention for a single season, but for now I right there with Leah, commenting of what a bitch little Billy is for faking an injury to get out of his Step routine.
That’s right, I said it. Someone had to. Fuck you, Billy.
Speaking of Step, it’s the introduction of these new and exciting dance styles that has lead me to consider auditioning for next year’s show. I mean, think about it. What’s the most underrepresented group of dancers on this show? Line dancers? Maybe. I’d argue the electric slide deserves more recognition as an art form than it is generally afforded. And actually that’s not too far from the real answer: White Guy Wedding Dancers.
Hands at your side, fingers snapping, head bobbing, rocking from left to right…all key steps in a dance more commonly known as a The White Man Overbite. And depending on the music and the number of cocktails involved, the hands might come up to chest level, rhythmically (well, “rhythmically”) pumping to the music.
Maybe a sly wink to your dance partner. Yeah, that’s right baby. Who’s got two thumbs and a whole bucket full of rhythm? *This guy*.
Give it some consideration, Nigel. I’ll be coming for you when the auditions roll into Chicago, teeth drawn over bottom lip and eye’s soulfully closed.
Left to right…left to right. Double fist pump.
Double fist pump.
