So You Think You Can Dance

I don't watch a lot of T.V.--I'd rather read if I have the time before bed--but I do watch the show, So You Think You Can Dance. I especially enjoy watching it with my daughters, who've had several years of dance training. The grace, strength, and beauty of these dancers, who compete to be chosen as "America's favorite dancer", is remarkable. They are under great pressure to perform well despite injuries, lack of sleep, and various other challenges. These dancers are light on their feet and everything they do looks effortless (although you know tremendous amounts of hard work and discipline proceed this illusion). Inspired by the show, I try to "lighten" my own moves, be more graceful, dancer-like.
