Last night my family and I watched the So You Think You Can Dance finale. This is one of our favorite shows every year, and I am amazed by the talent that is showcased there. The dancer I picked to win from the beginning of the season was Brandon. We'll see tonight who actually wins, though.
There is a choreographer on the show who is very.... interesting, and I googled her to find out more about her. In the process, I found more out about Adam Shankman. I thought he was just a dancer; I had no idea he had directed so many amazing movies! The Wedding Planner, Hairspray, Bedtime Stories, and The Pacifier, among many others.
I took dancing when I was a child for about nine years. I have many memories of that time of my life: The girls that I met there that didn't go to my school. The different songs we danced do. The costumes we wore.
A few years ago I found a receipt from a payment my parents made for my classes at the time. It was $35, which was a lot of money per month back then. Thank you, mom, for that, because I know that was probably not easy to justify that expense. I am very thankful for those many special years!
Though the dancing on this show is not glorifying God, nor does the singing on American Idol do that either, it is awesome to see people using their gifts. I love it!
