example, philip is kept in the game because he is in the commercial dance
industry longer so he personally knew the judges/choreographer better and he
'll probably sell more tickets during the tour. similar situation with
melissa and some other dancers. most the dancers this season are rejects
from previous seasons.
another thing, its funny how in this season most dancers are getting their

By Reality TV World staff, 08/18/2009
Four months after determining it didn't currently have enough evidence to
charge him, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office has charged
former So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Alex Da Silva with eight
felony sexual-assault charges.
Da Silva has been charged with four counts of forcible rape, two counts of

发帖数: 14889 | 3 NEW YORK – For the first time in the history of the two long-running
competitions, ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" outdrew both editions of Fox's
"American Idol" last week.
Meanwhile, the broadcast networks faced ratings disaster on April Fools' Day
that was no joke.
The Nielsen Co. said Tuesday that nearly 23 million people watched "Dancing"
a week ago. An estimated 21.8 million people watched "Idol" on Tuesday and
20.5 million on Wednesday, Nielsen said.

I went to a friend's party yesterday. People started to play cards or board

What? Dancing in a garage, that was something I could never think of. However,
it was more than enough to wake me up.

The fall after my ill-fated formal I decided to sign up for a ballroom dance

have been out of pure curiosity, or maybe I wanted to become at least

发帖数: 4801 | 7 In this writing, I will specifically address on the topic of arm movements in
latin American dance.
In latin dance, the arm movements should be very simple if you have the right
technique. Why? Because they are just extensions of the body movements. I will
use a cucaracha as an example. When you do a cucaracha to the right on count
2, first of all, you have to settle into your left hip on the AND before the 2
. this will give you a slight body lean to the right, and helps you to make a

I do think the basic rules apply pretty well to even basic dancing as well.
Like in Waltz, to start, you will have a deep breath in, right? That's on
count 5. then you do the prep step, begin breath out on count6, and start
dancing 123.
The general principle for breathing in the video, as my understanding, even

lots new dancers will be all tensed up during dancing, because they want to
control their movement everywhere,their muscle is always half-tensed up,
which casuse 2 results: 1. limited movement 2. easy tiring muscle

I have a pair of Capezio Fierce, pretty comfortable. Depends on what kind of
dance you want to do, if ballroom, OK for latin, won't work for standard
since the soles will grab onto the floor and you can't really move unless
you lift the whole foot up, which is bad. For other dances, it won't have
any problem with hiphop, I am guessing it is fine for introductory ballet,
jazz, etc... |
