From entertainment weekly www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1219226_3_0_,00.html 'SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?' I may as well get this shameful confession out of the way now: I am a fanatic for So You Think You Can Dance? So picture me delighted when host Cat Deeley traipsed on stage, air kissed Peter Liguori with her foot kicked back, and announced that before the panel front-runners Allison and Travis and Benji and Heidi would be dancing contemporary and West Coast swing routines, respectively. Of course, both couples were spectacular — limber, expressive, joyful — so color me thrilled when the rest of the press showered both couples with a rush of genuine applause. And slap me gobsmacked after learning both couples had choreographed their stunning routines themselves, literally with a few hours notice. I'd like to see Taylor Hicks write, score, and perform a perfectly honed pop song in three hours time. (Why are all of you looking at me like that?) So, yeah, for those of you who haven't moved on to the next entry, I have some big news! Creator Nigel Lythgoe announced that he is in talks for a 25-city So You Think You Can Dance tour. Starting in Seattle this September, it would feature the top 10 dancers plus two of the other finalist dancers as understudies — though, according to Lythgoe, that won't be the two kicked off from the final 12 (i.e., street dancers Musa and Ashlee) since the understudies would have to master every single routine in the show in order to step in at a moment's notice.
