Dance is a world I know WELL. Very well. My Mother has owned a successful studio since I was five years old and since has been a crazy dancer producing machine. Her students have done everything from dancing with Justin Timberlake on his world tour, to dancing with Celine Dion. They've appeared in commercials, traveled the world, danced on the stages of SNL and The Tonight Show and NOW, are appearing on So You Think You Can Dance!! This season one of my mom's students Kayla Radomski is in the top 20, and let me just say....she started with the samba, and that's just the beginning. Being that this is my world, I thought i'd give you a little bit more insight on previous and current contestants many of which are good friends of mine. Don't forget to tune in on WEDNESDAY NIGHTS and VOTE!
My Personal Pick for this Season! KAYLA RADOMSKI!
