I Don’t Think I Can, But I Wish I Could!

July 24, 2009 By FibroHaven 11 Comments

I am a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance. I am not a dancer, but this show makes me so emotional with all the beautiful dancing and the amazing dancers who are so passionate about their art. I think one of the reasons I love it so much is because I become completely absorbed in the dancer's freedom of movement, and in their grace.
