My Wednesday and Thursday evenings these days are spent watching the latest season of “So You Think You Can Dance” (SYTYCD). Every year I can’t help but feel impressed as the latest bunch of contenders outdance their previous peers.
Dance is the window to the soul. One either possesses the grace to move with the beat or not. It is pure enchantment to watch someone do a magical solo or a pair move their hearts out to a titillating beat.
The boys and girls competing in SYTYCD this season are breathtaking in their movements. The efforts exerted in completing the routines are far from average because there is a super abundance of fluid expressions those young people are capable of. It is apparent that they are dancing for their lives, because recognition of their aesthetic skill can bring them a reversal of fortune. They are the world's lucky ones because they get to do what they love most… and they can flaunt it!
I have never seen Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy sound so superfluously positive about the bunch of contenders they are critiquing. They are extravagant in their praises… and for a good reason. Even they are amazed at the incredible talents before their eyes.
For each and every boy and girl competing for the SYTYCD plum part, I wish you the best and may your dreams bring you the reward you’ve been working for. You dance like no one’s watching… and you bring joy to those who see your moves. Thank you for realizing so early in your lifetime what exactly you’re meant to do in the universe. You deserve life’s blessings!
