I don't really watch TV. If I'm on vacation, at Mom's house or someplace where there is cable, I'll watch HGTV. (But the commercials make me nuts.) However, there are two shows that I rarely miss. The first (and this is not something that I'm proud of, here) is American Idol. I just like it for the raw talent. Can't stand the critical nature of it all, though. I think Simon is going to have some serious 'splainin' to do at the pearly gates.The other show that I'm absolutely passionate about is So You Think You Can Dance. This is a summer-only show, so we're now getting warmed up. Ahhh... how do I love this? Let me count the ways: (1) I love to watch those amazing, super-human kids leap and spin at heights and frequencies that I (literally) dream about (2) It sparks some great kinesthetic memories in my body. (I taught dance professionally during my first two years out of college.) (3) It introduces me to new music, recording artists and choreographers (4) It creates a feeling of exhilaration within me, and finally, (5) it completely fills up my creative senses.
Here's a link to my fav performance (and couple) from last summer's show. (Note: if modern dance isn't your thing, try this one or this one with Sabra, the winner of last season.)So, if you try to call or email me on any summer Wednesday evening, you probably won't be able to reach me. But, if this kind of performance gives you goose bumps, too, tune in (and "turn out") and we'll meet as kindred spirits!
