Twilight Trailer Marksie Style

I thought this was super cute and really well done! It's similar to Andrew's The Notebook trailer Marksie style. I'm guessing that it was maybe inspired by his? Anywho, thought I'd share with everyone since I loved it!

Starring Chelsie Hightower (s4) and Mark Kanemura (s4)!

Chapman University publishes a Katee Shean article

Katee Shean's school, Chapman University, published an article about her. Here is a scan! Click on the image for full size.

After wowing millions of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, then landing a marquee role on the follow-up arena concert tour, what can Katee Shean possibly do for an encore?

Return to Chapman to resume her double major in dance as well as leadership and organization studies, of course.



Thanks to Stephanie for the heads up!

Spotted: Katee Shean @ Santana Row

My friend Alfred spotted Katee Shean (S4) with her family at the lighting of Santana Row's Christmas trees! She was there to meet and greet San Jose fans. It's kind of amazing how she just performed the night before and now she's on the other side of the country [still signing autographs]. Amazing! I think she looks different in this picture too!

Video: Lacey Schwimmer Ballemporary



Lacey Schwimmer (S3) performs her contemporary jazz and ballroom fused dance on Dancing with the Stars with Derek Hough and Mark Ballas while Julianne Hough sings. I thought it was quite amazing and one of my favorite pieces Lacey has ever done. There are a lot of cool elements in this, and it seems Lacey has picked up a lot of moves ever since departing from So You Think You Can Dance. Her a la seconde turns were clean along with an illusion out of them! She also held a nice penché so it's quite an interesting video! After showing her contemporary jazz skills she continues to wow the audience with sexy legwork while dancing with Derek and Mark!

Thanks to Morgan for the heads up!

Dancers "Upset" About "So You Think You Can Dance Tour" Coming To An End

This is the first article I've read about the very end of the tour, and it definitely doesn't help with the end of the tour!

-------------------------

Miami, FL (CNS) -- The "So You Think You Can Dance Tour" has it's final show tonight in Tampa, FL and the thirteen top finalists from Season 4 of the hit Fox show are not looking forward to their last dance.

"We're really upset. We really don't want it to end," said Courtney Galiano, the season's top 4 finalist. "Especially these last few days, we've had so much fun together but we started to realize that it's all coming to an end," said Gev Manoukian, an Armenian/Russian hip-hop dancer and top 10 finalist. The dancers, who have been on the road since September, all shared this sentiment. "I think we've all grown so close to each other that we call each other a family now," said Latin ballroom dancer Chelsie Hightower. "This whole experience has been absolutely amazing and incredible. It's a very sad time because we're leaving everything, but it's also a very exciting time because now it's time to start new things and explore. I'm really excited to see where we all end up and what we all do." Galiano explained how coming off a show like "So You Think You Can Dance" is different from other reality shows. "I think this show allows dance to get the recognition that it deserves," she said. "We're all really sad to go back into the real world. It is definitely a springboard for us into bigger and better things which is really wonderful. But it's not like 'American Idol' where you get signed right after that and there's a contract waiting for you. It's a lot more difficult. This business it's 9 times out of 10 about rejection." Past "So You Think You Can Dance" graduates have filmed parts in movies, worked with major artists like Miley Cyrus and have choreographed for major projects, including numbers on later seasons of "So You Think You Can Dance."

Galiano said she really likes touring and would love to work with artists like Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Rihanna and Celine Dion. Hightower, with her ballroom dancing background, said ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" is a possibility for the future. She would join Lacey Schwimmer as the second "So You Think You Can Dance" alumni to join the popular ABC program. As exciting as the future is for these dancers who just headlined their own tour, Galiano says she'll miss "everything" about touring with the other finalists. "Everything from being with everyone, being in the different cities and traveling, and performing on the stage, to getting our butts woken up at 3 in the morning because we just reached our hotel where we're staying," she said. "Everything."

"I think this show allows dance to get the recognition that it deserves," she said. "We're all really sad to go back into the real world. It is definitely a springboard for us into bigger and better things which is really wonderful. But it's not like 'American Idol' where you get signed right after that and there's a contract waiting for you. It's a lot more difficult. This business it's 9 times out of 10 about rejection." Past "So You Think You Can Dance" graduates have filmed parts in movies, worked with major artists like Miley Cyrus and have choreographed for major projects, including numbers on later seasons of "So You Think You Can Dance."

Galiano said she really likes touring and would love to work with artists like Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Rihanna and Celine Dion. Hightower, with her ballroom dancing background, said ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" is a possibility for the future. She would join Lacey Schwimmer as the second "So You Think You Can Dance" alumni to join the popular ABC program. As exciting as the future is for these dancers who just headlined their own tour, Galiano says she'll miss "everything" about touring with the other finalists. "Everything from being with everyone, being in the different cities and traveling, and performing on the stage, to getting our butts woken up at 3 in the morning because we just reached our hotel where we're staying," she said. "Everything."

PNJ reviews Pensacola show

Pensacola News Journal reviewed the show, and also interviewed Kherington Payne, Thayne Jasperson, Twitch Boss, and Comfort Fedoke.



Here's a snippet of the review:



-----------------------------------



The top 11 contestants from season four of "Dance" took to the stage as part of the latest edition of the series' post-season cross-country tour. Introduced one by one, each dancer had his or her share of enthusiastic fans in the audience, but Boss, who came in second in the competition, definitely had the most, judging by the overwhelming roar.



Actually, the celebrity with the most fans turned out to be the TV series itself, a grueling elimination-style contest in which dancers of all disciplines and styles compete by performing in tightly choreographed routines. The tour is a "best-of" compilation of routines from the show, both duets and group numbers, and fans wasted no time calling for their favorites.



"'No Air'! 'No Air'!" they screamed several times throughout the show, demanding to see the touching, romantic hip-hop routine danced on the first episode of the season by Allen and partner Katee Shean, set to the song by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. (The routine turned out to be the climactic number of the evening.)



-----------------------------------



Here is the interview:
