Excuse me?

I just finished watching So, You Think You Can Dance? on TV. All the dancers are very very good. Don't know who won though, 'coz I didn't finish it.

Anyway, the judges, I gotta hand it to them. They give good review. What they are holds a lot of water. That is expected from someone who's who in dance business. They have been there. They have done that. And they can criticize all they want and still come out smelling like roses. But, can the audience make a good judgment as well?

According to some people I know, if the audience says something bad about the dance, for example, "Oh, you guys are not fast enough for for this dance...can you perhaps speed it up?"; the dancers will come back and says, "Oh really? why don't you come up here and do it yourself!"

Hmmm...were their egos hurt? I meant the dancer's enormous ego. So hurt they can't take a suggestion from the paying audience? Okay, non-paying audience, but audience nevertheless.

Here's the point I want to make; whereas some experts can say what you have done wrong, and if you don't like it, and challenge them to do it, they (the experts) probably could do it, because, well, they ARE the experts. BUT, what if some non-expert were to do the same and have the same challenge thrown at them? How will the non-expert react? Continue smiling and proclaim that they are not hurt by that insult? Do something and be embarrassed by the results? Retort that dancing is what dancers do and enjoying dance is what audience do, and if the audience DO NOT enjoy they dance, the can...NAY!...they have a right to demand that they be entertained!

So, you still think you can dance?
