Joshua Allen, the 19-year-old, untrained hip-hop dancer was crowned So You Think You Can Dancewinner on Fox’s Thursday evening two-hour finale. He was my favorite dancer as well, and I extremely happy he won. But to tell you the truth, it does not matter because this year had some of the best dancers ever to grace that stage. And each one of the top 4 finalists were just incredible, regardless of the order.

This has probably been the most intense season on the show. Not only for the competitors themselves, but for us, the viewer. I have watched this series since the start, but not until this summer, have I ever been so emotionally invested into the outcome of the results. I connected with the dancers and their lives.
This is an exciting week in dance competitions! Not only will Addicted2Salsa contest finalists be chosen (last minute entries accepted until midnight tonight!), Dancing With The Stars narrows down to the very last couple as well. Anthony and I have not only followed the show this season, we got the chance to attend a recording of one of the shows. It was an exciting experience to see the behind the scenes action, and watch the dancers up close. The dance moves were even more impressive in person, as were the costumes, make-up and tans. We watched Kristi, Marissa, Cristián, Jason and Shannon dance their way to the top. Since then, Shannon and Marissa have been eliminated, but this week the winner will be decided! Check out the season finale tonight (Monday), 8/7c and Tuesday 9/8c for the results show on abc. The only stars remaining are Kristi-the Olympic champion figure skater, Cristián-the international film star, and Jason-NFL man of the year: who is your favorite dancer? Let us know in the forums!
