Watching sports on TV can be fun, but nothing compares to seeing the action live. Since Rochester is fortunate enough to have several professional teams that play locally, why not take advantage of some court-side seats?

The opening routine was set to "Aha!" by Imogen Heap and featured the dancers as pieces of art. At the start, they were all standing on different podiums and covered in sheets. When the music picked up, half the sheets were ripped off and they started with some great sharp,

After last week's elimination of the final tapper (sigh), I wasn't sure I wanted to come back and watch the show this week. Boy, am I glad I did. It was one of the strongest performance shows we've seen this season.

First results show of the season. No big. It's not like the show's been on the air for more than two months. Oh, wait ...

For the first time this season we finally get to vote for the dancers. It's only November. No worries Fox, I'm not bitter that the judges sent home four dancers without my consent. Really. It's cool. I hardly know any of the dancers, which I suspect is why most of

We're still slowly chugging along through these audition specials (anyone else feel like they're taking longer than usual?). Tonight's audition episode took us to Boston.
