I didn't even know there was such a thing as ballroom dancing. This world has been foreign to me as much as the bullriding world is foreign to Chelsie. - Ty Murray

Article: Kameron Bink performs with Variations Studio and the Montgomery Ballet

On Sunday, February 22, s3's Kameron Bink performed in a collaborative show with Variations Studio and the Montgomery Ballet at the Opelika Performing Arts Center.

"Bink, a top 10 finalist from season three of FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” said he met Lide in Vegas while auditioning for the show.

He said he met up with Lide at a dance workshop in Huntsville, where they discussed including him in Sunday’s performance.

“She asked me if I wanted to do a piece, and it was (originally) supposed to be me and two other girls,” said, “but Stacy got really excited once I started working with (them), so she decided to put herself in it, too.”

“It was cool to come in and have her be excited and join the piece as well,” Bink said."

The entire article can be read here.

EDIT: I just found a video of Kam's solo:

SYTYCD5 to begin on May 21st!

"FOX will let the Cat (Deeley) out of the bag again on May 21.

The network has set that day -- it's a Thursday -- as the premiere date for the fifth season of its top summer series, "So You Think You Can Dance." The premiere will run for two hours and will be followed by another two-hour episode on Wednesday, May 27.

Following the conclusion of the audition rounds, the series will settle into its regular schedule of performance shows on Wednesdays and results on Thursdays.

Deeley will return as host, as will judges Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe (who's also one of the executive producers). Auditions for the show are still going on, with dates in Denver (March 12), Memphis, Tenn. (March 16) and Seattle (March 28). More information on the tryouts is at FOX.com.

Last season's winner, Joshua Allen, walked away with a $250,000 prize and an offer for a role in the movie "Step Up 3-D," directed by sometime "SYTYCD" judge Adam Shankman."

People Magazine interviews Lacey about Steve-O

People Magazine recently interviewed season three's Lacey Schwimmer (DWTS pro) about her new partner, Steve-O, the infamous Jackass movie star.



Click View Full Post for the entire article.

So let us have it — how’s Steve-O?
Steve-O is a workhorse. He is here everyday, five hours. He says, “Is five hours enough, Lacey? Do you think I need more than that?” So he’s just such a hard worker and we’re in very intense rehearsals everyday.


Were you worried that because of his history he wouldn’t be the most disciplined partner?
Absolutely, and that’s what I thought going into it, too. I was like, “Oh, man. He’s not going to want to practice and this, that and the other.” But I walked in and the first thing he said to me was, “I’m taking this very seriously. So you’re the boss. You tell me what to do. I’ll do whatever you want.” Ever since, he’s been such a great person to work with.

Were you surprised?
It’s funny because he’s been eleven months sober from drugs and alcohol and so I think his mind is now thinking, “I really have to now achieve this goal. I have to do this.” His head is really clear. I look up to him in that sense because as hard as he’s working on so many things, I feel like I should be working harder. I wasn’t expecting how nice of a guy he turned out to be and how much of a gentleman and how adorable he is. He’s so sweet and so cute and everyone who meets him just falls in love with him.

Does he have any dance experience?
He comes from a background of circus training. He graduated clown school, I believe, and he has these really interesting tricks that he can do that I’ve never seen anyone on the show do before. So we’re definitely going to try and incorporate what he already can do and I’m trying to develop things that he could potentially do.

How about incorporating elements of Jackass into your routines?
Of course! He’s already told me things that he’s wanting to do on the set. I’m like, “You have to remember that this is live television and it’s ABC Family. I don’t know if me kicking you in a certain area would look good on TV.” He’s having fun and has great ideas and is a really creative guy. We’re both so silly and we love to laugh and have a good time. I get him. I get his humor and I understand what he’s thinking. We work really well together.

What do you think are your chances?
I think he’s this little dark horse of the competition. People don’t really know what to expect from him … I keep getting these messages on Myspace or on Facebook and they’re like, ‘Oh, man, you and Steve-O. I’m so sorry.’ I look at them and think they have no idea about this guy.

Video: Danny spotted at NYCDA Orlando

EDIT: I contacted the person who uploaded the video, and it is indeed Mr. Tidwell!

I know I haven't seen the man dance in months, but I swear that's Season 3's Danny Tidwell in the front right side of this video. (Season 3's Jaimie Goodwin is also seen from time to time on the far left.)

Article: Neil Haskell in Time Out New York

Neil H.
21; actor; Upper West Side

Neil says: “I am a dancer who has been living in New York City for just over two years. I’m a pretty active guy looking for a girl who wants to have fun. I love riding my bike around Central Park or a night in watching movies. My ideal girl would be beautiful, outgoing and confident, and wouldn’t mind me holding the remote.”

My style: “Funny, creative, original, loving, dancing, pop culture, shy at first.”

My outlook: “Excited for the future; work hard, play hard.”
