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."
