Caught this on channel 5 SYTYCD season 3 Ep 1 and cried for a good 5 mins after it ended:



Great choreography, and great dancers (Lacey in particular)to make this piece looks so effortless and conveyed the powerful emotions that's supposed to come with contemporary pieces.

Lacey's a SUPERSTAR for the way she always convinces the audience on any roles she portrays. Even Benji (her brother and winner of SYTYCD season 2), who was my previous favourite dancer in the show, could not match her at all. I remember telling my sister during the audition stage for season 2 when we saw Benji did his west coast swing with Heidi, and immediately proclaimed he'd be THE winner for that season because of his character and entertainment value. He didn't dissappoint of course.

Lacey's a notch higher: great entertainer, and adding to that she had the superior technique that Benji was lacking. She could adapt so fast to the new dance styles that she has never done in her whole life, and within 1 week performs it like a pro. That's required of all the top 20 of course, but to be SO gd at something that's not your element is definitely mind-bogglingly hard. It's like asking a tennis player to learn badminton within 1 week and play like a pro, and obviously those who has tried it will find it pretty much impossible.

So the Schwimmer legacy in SYTYCD lives on. I'm following Lacey's dances every week on channel 5, and although I know she didn't win it in the end (that's the bad thing about never being in the bottom 3 to do solos before, and hence not connecting on a higher level with the voters), she's still the greatest dancer I've seen so far.

Another of my fav lacey's pieces:



And another:



And another:



Lacey seems to glide through every routine, moving effortlessly, gracefully and weightlessly, floating across the stage as if she's skating on ice.

So You Think You Can Dance is the best show EVER!
