Superstars of Dance - Finale - Finally

Unfortunately Nigel's So You Think You Can Dance offspring didn't work. At all.

In the solo competition, Russia won with their absuslutely STUNNING ballerina, the only winner of the night I agreed with:



Up next the duet category:



The Groovaloos took 1st place in the group competition that should have gone to Australia (or even China) in my humble opinion. Now, maybe if it had been Quest Krew...



I did enjoy seeing the different cultural dances, but Nigel, THIS was not the best dance the world has to offer...not by a long shot.

America's Best Dance Crew - Quest Crew - Week Two

Quest Crew was one of the Top 2 crews last week based on America's vote and that means they are SAFE this week! Shane Sparks was the only judge feeling Quest Crew this week. HUH? I thought personally it was better than last week. Their challenge was "kick boxing". Check it out:

Wade Robson No Longer "Attached" to Britney Spears World Tour

Remember back when Wade Robson signed on to choreograph Britney Spears World Tour? Well, apparently not anymore.

According to msnbc:

Good thing there’s still some time before Britney Spears’ new tour, “The Circus Starring Britney Spears,” kicks off in New Orleans. Planning for her first arena tour in five years (her brief return to touring in 2007 was just a mini-tour for the House of Blues) is off to a rumored slow start because Spears’ work ethic isn’t quite up to par.

“She missed some early dance practices and wasn’t dedicated about turning up at meetings,” a Spears source told Us Weekly.

Choreographer Wade Robson was reportedly at the center
of Spears’ lack of cooperation. The source told the magazine, “She didn’t want him to see that she’s not as good as she used to be.”

Nonetheless, the show will go on. Robson’s no longer attached to the tour (Robson’s camp claims his short stint was planned all along, although there are rumors that tension between the two contributed to his departure), and Spears has hired a new dance team and is psyched for a fresh start.

Sooooooo scandalous!

Wade Robson to Choreograph Britney Spears World Tour

Renowned choreographer (and So You Think You Can Dance fan favorite) Wade Robson has signed on to choreograph Britney Spears return to the world stage.

According to Australia's The Daily Telegraph:

Wade Robson styled Spears early steps to pop culture fame, but told Confidential yesterday he will reunite with the singer as she prepares to climb her way back up the charts.

The article goes on to say:

The 26-year-old, who was given his start - controversially - by Michael Jackson as an 8-year-old, remains in hot demand as a dance director and confirmed he will write the moves for Spears' upcoming world tour.

"She reached out to me and said she wanted to get the old team back together, so we'll go into rehearsals in January for a March start," he said.

Congratulations Wade...I think?
