Forget Choreographer’s Carnival—let’s give it up for Shoe Carnival! The shoe mega-retailer is the latest brand to jump head-first into the very smart and hugely entertaining “let’s feature dancers in our commercials” venture. (See also Microsoft, Target, Under Armour, Microsoft again and Virgin America.) The national television commercial, choreographed by Jamal Sims and directed by Tim […]
(Photo © Joe Toreno for Dance Spirit) Remember this guy? JOKES. Who could possibly forget the amazingly talented—and downright adorable—Du-Shaunt “Fik-Shun” Stegall? He won our hearts last year on the “So You Think You Can Dance” stage—conquering one style after another alongside his beautiful partner in crime (and fellow Season 10 winner) Amy Yakima. And […]
It’s that time of year again: As our beloved drama series wrap up their seasons, the summer TV lineup is just getting started. And that means the return of two of our favorite competition shows—”So You Think You Can Dance” and “America’s Got Talent.” Eeeee! It all begins with the Season 9 premiere of “AGT,” […]
Making it to the Top 20 of “So You Think You Can Dance” is really, really hard, so most will never know what it’s like to hang out with America’s Favorite Dancers. One of the perks of working at Dance Spirit is that we get to do just that every year! That’s because, the morning […]

Tonight’s the night! In just a few short hours, we’ll know who “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 10 will crown America’s Favorite Dancers. Will it be Fik-Shun and Amy (Am-Shun)? Aaron and Jasmine (Aarmine)? Fik-Shun and Jasmine (Fik-mine)? Aaron and Amy (um…Aamy)? AHH WE CAN’T WAIT. The best part, of course, is that […]
You voted last night, right? I hope so, because it was your last chance! Last night, Season 10’s Top 4 contestants—Amy, Fik-Shun, Jasmine and Aaron—duked it out dance-style for the title of America’s [Latest] Favorite Dancer, a $100,000 prize and, what we think is the best part, a spot on the December cover of Dance […]
This week, the Top 8 were choreographed by—and partnered with—eight “So You Think You Can Dance” All Stars. I kind of love it when “SYTYCD” throws us a curveball like that. And it’s a risky premise: Artists are usually at the top of their game as either dancers or as choreographers, but rarely as both […]
