I Thought I Could Dance

I was introduced to So You Think You Can Dance (Australia) on a recent holiday. Up until that point, I thought I could dance. It’s not the first time I’ve deluded myself claiming sporting ability: when I was 11, I thought I was in the top 1000 tennis players in the world. My world came crashing down when I lost 6-0 in my first tournament. I was probably lucky to scrape into the top 1000 in my suburb!

My world, likewise, came crashing down when watching this exciting TV show. I now realise that the shopping trolley, sprinkler and big-fish-little-fish-cardboard-box don’t really cut it as dance moves. I’m a lame dancer. BUT it’s not all bad news! After watching So You Think You Can Dance, dancing has now gone up a notch in my books. It’s now on notch 1. Visually spectacular!

Although we don’t have a TV, I’ve recently discovered you can watch full episodes on the channel ten website. Check out the vid below. It’s incredible. Issi (my favourite) and Robbie dance a haunting number to Regina Spektor’s Samson:

• Longer version – Watch WITH all the commentary
• Shorter Version – Watch WITHOUT all the commentary

ps – they film this sucker at my favourite cafe – The Carriageworks in Eveleigh
