ICYMI: 2020 might be canceled, but the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards sure weren’t. And while this year’s VMAs weren’t live, as promised, they were definitely lit, and chock-full of all the fabulous dancing that we look forward to each year. In case you missed last night’s awards ceremony (or were too busy scrolling TikTok […]
Our favorite season? Awards season, of course! Congratulations to the six choreographers who received Emmy nominations for their fabulous television work. This year, the Emmys thought outside the usual “So You Think You Can Dance” and “World of Dance” box, and we’re delighted to see some of our fave choreographers getting recognition. Here are all […]
The Duels continued on last night’s episode of “World of Dance,” but this time, it was all about the Junior Division. And we have to say, our fave 18-and-under acts brought the heat.

In observance of the entertainment industry’s #BlackoutTuesday, NBC dedicated last night’s episode to “all those who are fighting injustice, standing up against racism and taking action to make change,” and we’d like to echo that message to our Dance Spirit readers. We love you and are standing with you. The episode picked back up where […]
