I'm a big fan of the show and I've been watching from the very first season. They do a fantastic job of highlighting dance styles.

SinoSoul on July 21, 2009, at 01:20PM – #5

We're taking ballroom dancing classes right now... going to the show is just going to remind me how much I suck. But the fiance loves watching these shows. FML.

ndevelopment on July 21, 2009, at 01:31PM – #11

im a fan of mary and her hot tamale train...wud luv to see her in person.

Brian on July 21, 2009, at 01:33PM – #12

My wife watches the show religiously - as a matter of fact it takes up space on our DVR because she goes back to watch old episodes.

I admit to watching for Cat Deeley. No shame in that.

Thanks for the contest - would love to surprise the Ms. with tickets.

LaTanya on July 21, 2009, at 01:33PM – #13

OMG - I watch this show religiously every week! I love that the producers showcase different choreographers and challenge the dancers to go outside of their own styles to learn something different. I've learned so much about dance on this show - and am looking forward to doing some dance/exercise classes at this new studio in Echo Park. I'd love to see Caitlin on stage again. And Ade is just supremely fantastic. I can't decide...I really enjoy all the dancers that are left in the competition at this stage and would love to see them live! Pick me! :)

nydtrain30 on July 21, 2009, at 01:41PM – #14

wud luv to go. i'm a big cat deely fan too!!!!

Shanon Wagner on July 21, 2009, at 01:48PM – #15

I don't think I SHOULD win, but I think I would love to be the Lucky one who does!!!

Caroline lee on July 21, 2009, at 02:12PM – #16

I would love to go to this show, especially if I win (because I can't afford to buy them)

i have been a huge fan of sytycd since the first season. Not only is the talent amazing, but I love watching these amazing dancers grow and be given the chance to perform their lifes passion on a world stage. I love the choreography but also watching how each dancer makes it uniquely their own and interpretting it with the partners they've grown bonds with.

I once saw Mia Michaels at a restaurant and had to interrupt her diner to tell her how much the piece she did about seeing her father again in heaven affected me. I told her how I cried and thanked her for sharing something so personal with the world. She was so gracious and kind.

Please pick me!

weezermonkey on July 21, 2009, at 02:22PM – #17

I want! I want! I always attempt to dance along while watching the show. I need the opportunity to do this live.

Meena on July 21, 2009, at 02:28PM – #18

My family loves the show and we watch it repeatedly throughout the week. My kids especially loved the Nukul Bollywood pieces. We are such big fans and I would love to be able to share that experience with my children to see these amazing sets of dancers live. Thanks!

shannon on July 21, 2009, at 02:31PM – #19

ok, here goes. i love SYTYCD so much however since the transition to HD i have consistently had bad reception with channel 11 (i don't have cable). it's pretty much the only show i watch on TV outside of football. week after week, crappy signal. last week i decided to go buy a new antenna and hook it up but i still had a crappy signal from channel 11. after missing most of the first hour of the show dealing with this i finally found the sweet spot. i ended up sitting about 2 feet from the TV holding the antenna up in the air for the remainder of the program because that's where it picked up the signal the best...not sitting on the back of the TV like it should, no. instead i looked like a sitting statue of liberty with my antenna in hand. and i guess that's how i'll be watching the rest of the season too.

thanks for considering me.

Val on July 21, 2009, at 02:47PM – #20

I have watched this show obsessively since day one and have tried to convince everyone I know to watch it. I have even forced co-workers to watch clips on Youtube at at my desk! Thank you for promoting the show and for the opportunity!

Andrew on July 21, 2009, at 02:53PM – #21

I can scream louder than Mary!

Cilecia on July 21, 2009, at 03:07PM – #22

I am a dancer. I coach a dance team! I am obsessed with SYTYCD! I think I would faint if I ever met Mia Michaels because I am obsessed with her choreography and vision. She is absolutely amazing and I heard that they are bringing back some really awesome routines for this year's tour. Please please please...i would die if i could go. (well not die...but i would be elated!!) lol.

Sharon Suh on July 21, 2009, at 03:48PM – #23

My roommate and I are HUGE fans of the show! Plus, we live directly across from the Staples Center and therefore LA Live and would love for once to be inside the venue instead of out, just hearing the festivities happen. We were literally trapped inside our apartment for every Lakers game, for the Lakers parade, and Michael Jackson's funeral, just to name a few, since we moved in. Please give us the opportunity of a lifetime and let us go to the SYTYCD show live! Thanks for the opportunity!!

Erin on July 21, 2009, at 04:20PM – #24

"And you can dance for inspiration...", as I was a six-year-old dancing to Madonna, I knew dance would be my inspiration. I would love to attend the SYTYCD show because it illustrates how movement and music can transform us into a different realm of our lives.

Plus....i have always wanted to be on the hot tamale train :)

Jenn Sul on July 21, 2009, at 04:20PM – #25

I have been following this show since the first season and have been to every tour so please pick me!!

aldo on July 21, 2009, at 04:23PM – #26

I should be picked because a good friend of mine is completely obsessed with the show and she'd love to go!

jeremy on July 21, 2009, at 04:59PM – #27

i love so you think you can dance..i especially love the choreography..mary murphy and cat deeley keep me entertained and i can name all of the finalists from season 3 (my favorite season)!! also i love the nokia theatre (best venue in la)..so please pick me!

steven r on July 21, 2009, at 06:13PM – #28

My husband loves to take a ride on the HOT TAMALE TRAIN...WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Sometimes I catch him watching this all night long. I think he thinks the guys are dreamy! He falls asleep mumbling to himself in a southern twang!

and he jumps and spins a lot lately too.

I'd love to take him to get it out of his system!

steph on July 21, 2009, at 08:09PM – #29

my friends and i have an obsession with this show and try to get everyone we know to watch this show! we can't dance like they do, but we "dance it out" anyway...a lot.

Olivia on July 21, 2009, at 10:56PM – #30

I'm turning 18 in November and tickets to SYTYCD would be an amazinggg birthday present. I've watched since season 1 and every season I tivo all the episodes just so I can watch my favorite dances over again. They look so amazing on TV and I'm sure that they are even more breathtaking in real life. Please pick me!!!

Lauren on July 22, 2009, at 01:02PM – #34

I would love to see this because I love dancing and used to teach ballroom dance in college. I'm on a poor student's income, so free tickets would be fantastic.

Albert Kinderman on July 23, 2009, at 01:49PM – #37

I would like to win tickets for my grown children. Last year, they went to the Honda Center in Anaheim to see the show and left me to babysit three grandchildren. I recently moved to Little Tokyo, and I am willing to babysit again if I can win tickets for them to go to the Nokia Theater.

Kim on July 23, 2009, at 02:43PM – #38

I'd take my daughter Connie if I won a pair. I'd try to buy a third seat for her little brother Eamon. Connie and Eamon could sit together to enjoy each other's company and I could take the separate single seat. There's a third child (Jessie), but she starts college this Fall and won't be home to go to the show. We're all breathless for the show. Jessie is 18, Connie is 12, Eamon is 8 (and I'm old).

Back when Jessie was struggling in high school (and I mean really struggling academically), I banned TV, which was easy because our TV was on the blink. We had to bang its side several times throughout any viewing session to get the screen to turn back on. But then her theatre teacher made it mandatory for students to watch SYTYCD. I checked with the teacher to see if this were true, which it was. So we all started watching.

We've been watching for the last four seasons (somehow we hadn't even heard of it in its first season). We arrange our week so we can be there as the two consecutive nights air. The rest of the year, we go back and watch our recordings of favorite dances and long for the next season to begin. I can't believe a reality TV show has hooked us so! Previously I was always so opposed to the shift from scripted TV to reality shows. You should never say never, I suppose.

Jessie and Connie started dance classes because of the show. In fact, they just walked home together last night from a place on Sunset at the corner of Micheltorena that has amazing drop-in hiphop classes. They were drenched from all the exercise and elated from all the endorphins. They really are lovely to be around when they've been exercising because they are nicer, happier people.

We're a happy group of people and we look for ways to keep the happy alive. Their dad isn't around except on very rare occasion, but I don't tell you that to elicit pity. We're a satisfied, joyous family the way we are, especially these days since Jessie got accepted to a good college.

We're completely in love with SYTYCD. I have a king-size bed, and we all squeeze into it to watch. It's a big opportunity to bond together. It could be said that SYTYCD has made us enjoy each other more. We judge the dance numbers before we hear the real judges' opinions. One perk of this is that Eamon is learning to find his critical voice. He's full of opinion about the execution of these dances and he jockeys to insert his words among what his sisters say about the performances. It's lovely to hear.

Now, money is exceedingly tight (as it is for so many). I'm an associate teacher at a grade school. And with all the mounting college expenses, winning tickets would be a huge boon in my day tomorrow. I hope we win. But if we don't, I hope the winners are wonderful people and great fans of the show. And I hope they have a really fantastic time at the Nokia. I also want to thank you for the chance to win tickets. Presale code tomorrow is GETTIX on ticketmaster.

Some of our very favorite dances include (if you don't already know these dances, look them up on youtube, they're a huge treat):

1. Most recently, Jeanine's solo last night. I believe it's the best solo danced on the show ever
2. Jeanine and Jason's It Kills Me choreographed by Travis (a Season 3 contestant and now great choreographer in his own right; he choreographed last night's opening group number)
3. Katee and Will's Imagine pas de deux (despite Katee's clumsy head moment) choreographed by Desmond Richardson and Dwight Rhoden
4. Chelsea and Mark's Bleeding Love choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon
5. Katee and Twitch's Mercy routine with the door on stage choreographed by Mia
6. Katee and Joshua's No Air choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon
7. Sabra and Neil's Sweet Dreams choreographed by Mandy Moore
8. Travis and Benji's Gyrate choreographed by Shane Sparks

Good luck to all. And thank you again.

I love watching the show and if I won tickets, I would take my husband Jim. On the night of the show, we'd need a dogsitter for Wonton and we'd probably go out to an expensive dinner, take a cab there and back, maybe even stop for a nightcap somewhere, which means I'd be spending beaucoup bucks on downtown businesses and services. So if blogdowntown cares at all about downtown's economic success - you'll make sure I win tickets.
