Feeling annoyed and disappointed at the show, So You Think You Can Dance. Hip hop is the forgotten dance on that show. I have never seen a HIP HOP pioneer on the show choreographing. Im not talking about someone that came out 15 or 20 years ago, Im talking about ORIGINATORS. They have hip hop as a category, but they only dance to 1 style of it. What happened to Breaking, Locking, Popping, Boogaloo and Krumping etc? I would also like to see Dancehall, House, Flexing, Wacking, Bachata, and Merengue. These are all dance styles that speak to the youth of today, and I guarantee if it was glorified on the show as they do with the other styles, you would have more young dancers supporting the show and the dancers that come from that underground world, which are the ones that are really keeping this culture and art alive, tune in. Those styles are good enough to commercialize, throw in movies and make money off of, but not good enough to put on a stage with ballet, contemporary, broadway jazz and a paso doble? Educate yourselves and look past the lights and cameras. Boycott HIP POP & SUPPORT HIP HOP.
