I am very excited about the number of television shows
involving dance. They are so different
from one another yet I enjoy each of them:
- Dance
Moms – I love the personalities on this show. Abby Lee Miller is the owner of the
studio and this show gives a glimpse into the lives of those wrapped up in
competitive dancing. This takes me
back to my youth in competitive baton twirling.
- So
You Think You Can Dance – I love watching
the beautiful and varied styles of dance.
From ballet and lyrical to break-dancing, these competitors are
fierce.
- Bunheads
– This is the new show by Amy Sherwin-Palladino on ABC Family. The pilot aired last week and ended with
a cliffhanger. I think I am going
to enjoy this new show as it has Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore from GG) as
the mother-in-law.
- Breaking
Pointe – The CW reality series goes behind
the scenes at Ballet West which is based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Some of these shows are
in their first season, so let’s hope they get picked up again next season. Summer is the perfect time for these kinds of
shows as there is a lull in regular programming.
Any other suggestions for the DVR this summer?
