So I Think They Can Dance

One of the best perks of being an editor is getting press tickets. My inner tweenybopper was ecstatic when I got to see the "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 5 tour in Newark, NJ, last week. Here's a picture of the cast (left to right: Melissa Sandvig, Jeanine Mason, Jason Glove and Ade Obayomi) reading Dance Spirit a few hours before the show.


I've known the winner, Jeanine Mason, for about a year. I cast her as a fashion model last October. She's just as adorable in person as she is on camera—goofy, sweet and charming. I was also a huge fan of Jason Glover this season. He's a fantastic dancer with the cutest puppydog face. I've interviewed him and he's definitely a big sweetheart. Jeanine and Jason dance a gorgeous piece choreographed by Travis Wall to Jason Mraz's "If It Kills Me." The storyline in the routine is that they're best friends who become lovers.



Jeanine told me that Jason is like her big brother, but I think they'd be the dream team couple if they ever got together in real life. Tres adorable!
