So You Think You Can Dance (American TV series)

"The way we look at So You Think You Can Dance is that the days of being a dancer who specializes in one thing - 'I do this and that's it' - are dwindling. Dancers today know they have to do all kinds of movement. And that's a beautiful thing to see, for us, in our Dance [sic] world."

"[The show is an] immoral abuse of young people ... it's commercial television, and they'll do anything for ratings. It's taking advantage of these very young kids who want that kind of exposure."

"I love the So You Think You Can Dance show. I love it. I think it’s some of the best hours on TV. I think those dancers are extraordinary and, more so, I think those choreographers are uniformly amazing."

"At its best, the show provides a kind of kicky fun, the good side of cheesy. But it’s also outdated and perpetuates many stereotypes about what constitutes good dance (speed is in, subtlety is out), what language is used to describe it and how training makes boring dancers."
