Opening number was set to a stripped-down version of Sting's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," featured an "Alice in Wonderland"-type tea party. Everything, including the dancers, was in black and white except All-Star Allison - who was...

Last week this already troubled season got even more screwed up when the judges decided not to eliminate any of the contestants, despite the fact that Billy voluntarily sat the week out, Jose continued to stink up the joint, and they were both in...

The results show opened with Cat addressing the disastrous inury record of this season head on, referring to it as the "Curse of Season 7." This week, of course, that manifested in Billy Bell's injury, sidelining him from performing all week. The...

It was the 150th episode, and Cat came out looking like a human bag of blood. The styling on her has been all over the place this year. The judges were all turned around in their chairs, and there was someone new behind the desk, it was Kenny...

It was another emotional week here on "SYTYCD" as another dancer fell victim to an injury. Ashley, whose star was just on the rise, hurt her ribs during Monday's rehearsal, leading many to call this season cursed. I'm starting to believe it...

I've had a love-hate relationship with "SYTYCD" this season. As of last week, we weren't even on speaking terms. But I'm ready to move on if you are, "Dance." Just please, no more bullshit. OK? OK. Let's get to tonight's show then, shall...

All is not well in the "SYTYCD" universe. The show took a drastic nosedive this week, and tonight's episode did not rescue the "Dance" jet from an unsettling, fiery crash.
The opening routine, set to "When We Dance" by Sting, was set in...

Things were all over the place tonight, and not always in a good way. Although the show started off rough (more on that in a second), it did get much better by the end of the two hours (if you were brave enough to endure all the shit in hour...

Tonight's show continued to be exceptionally blah, starting with the opening routine. Choreographer Jamal Gains had the contestants dance to "O Fortuna." Really, new guy? Really?! That song is epic, but WAY overused. Plus his choreography was...

The theme for tonight's show was inspiration, and unfortunately it was anything but. The bulk of the routines tonight were just so-so for me, with the exception of maybe two. This crop of dancers is talented, certainly, but I don't feel like many...

After a sizzling season opener last week, this week's episodes seemed to just simmer. We still got some strong dancing this week, but not much in the way of outstanding or phenomenal performances.
Sonya choreographed tonight's opening routine,...

The show started with a photo/video montage of current and childhood pics of the dancers. Cute, but a bit clich�d and forced. The childhood theme continued during the intro videos as the dancers shared info about their early dance...

Since last night's show was one of the strongest opening shows we've had in the history of "Dance," tonight's elimination was a hard one to swallow. There were some real standouts last night (most notably Alex and Robert), but pretty much...

First performance episode of the season! That came up fast, didn't it? We've got some real talent this season, and tonight's episode did everything to reassure that notion. We saw some superbly danced and choreographed routines, but the...

Sunday night saw the start of the Jazz Festival's newest series, Viva Italia!, which focuses on Italian jazz and Italian musicians at new venue Rochester Club Ballroom. I think the genre-specific stages are a great idea for the festival, enabling...

Since it was instated last year, I started looking forward to the "Meet Your Top Dancers" episode. It gives us an opportunity to see the dancers in their own style before the competition starts.
But as many people pointed out after Wednesday...

We started with 58 dancers remaining in Vegas and by episode's end we were down to our Top 10 dancers. Vegas Week is fine and all, but the real reason I'm tuning in tonight is to watch the judges tell the dancers first-hand whether they made it...

Things are moving fast this season with "Dance" and I can't say I'm complaining. Tonight's auditions wrapped up in the South with Dallas and Nashville, and we even got to see the first part of Vegas Week.
In Dallas, Nigel was joined by Tyce...

We're on to round two of auditions and truth be told, I was actually excited for it. Auditions are usually my least favorite part of the show, especially since few, if any of the dancers featured in the audition episodes ever make it to...

Now that "Idol" is over [blessedly - Eric Rezsnyak], Fox is turning its sights back to its other reality competition: "So You Think You Can Dance." "Dance" has made it to lucky season No. 7 and is changing all the rules. Well, not quite all of...
