So...I know I can't dance...

So You Think You Can Dance is the closest thing to what I do on TV today. You'd think I'd say Glee, but that'd be only half true. Sure, Glee is actually about my profession, but it's not like what I do. While watching the last round of city auditions tonight, in LA, I was struck by how much this show is like my show choir. People audition year after year, sometimes they get to choreography, sometimes they get to Vegas, and sometimes after many tries, they make the top 20. Just like VOC, some kids try for YEARS to make the group and when they finally do, OH! What a payoff! And then there is the alumni. SYTYCD always has previous season dancers sitting in the audience during city auditions, cheering on the newbies, checking on their legacy. VOC is no different.
