So You Think You Can Dance <3

The freezing cold air whipped around us as we stood outside patiently waiting. It started to rain and I was frozen. I couldn’t feel my fingers but I knew this wait would be worth it. As a security guard walked by my sister asked “How much longer until they come out?” The security guard replied “It could be an hour or maybe even two.” We all sighed and just stood there trying to keep warm. After what felt like forever, I heard someone scream, and I looked over to see Kayla, one of my favorite So You Think You Can Dance dancers. They had finally come outside. We had only waited about one and a half hours, but I already knew that getting autographs from all 12 dancers, and getting pictures with all of them would definitely make up for that time all of us remained half frozen.

Every summer, So You Think You Can Dance has an all brand new season. It’s something I look forward to for the entire year. This show is about dancers who compete for the title of Americas Best Dancer. They start out with twenty dancers, and America helps them narrow it down to one. After a few weeks they do make it to the top ten dancers, and this is who they choose to go on tour. This year the top ten included, Jeanine, Brandon, Kayla, Evan, Jeanette, Jason, Melissa, Ade, Randi, and Kupono. They also starred two of the other dancers Phillip, and Caitlin.

This past summer while I was in New York my dad told me I could get tickets to the So You Think You Can Dance tour. I was ecstatic. This would be my second year going, but I hoped that this year my parents would let us stay after the show, to meet the dancers, get their pictures, and get autographs. They agreed, and so after the show, we walked around the side of the building to a line which seemed about two miles long in my eyes. I never thought so many people would want to stand in the freezing cold to meet the top ten. I guess I was wrong.

As soon as all of the dancers made their way around, I ran across the street to the car to warm up before I froze even more. We started to drive back home, and I realized that the wait was worth it, and I started to hope that someday, maybe I would be one of those dancers. Maybe I would be the one everyone knew, and wanted my autograph, and wanted me to take a picture with them. Maybe that might happen, but as of now, It’s just a dream, that I hope will someday come true.
