I wasn’t the least bit excited about this season of So You Think You Can Dance. I expected the kids to be cute but thought we’d miss something of the talent of the usual dancers. 

The auditions were enjoyable and the top 10 were impressive. But I finally got caught up on last week’s first episode of actual competition. 

Let me just say, wow. 

Nine of the 10 dances were, in my uninformed opinion, simply amazing; the tenth was good. Two were breathtaking. One I rewound (is that the right word for dvr watching?) and watched three times, judges comments and all. 

If you’re not a fan, tune in and check out these young dancers. I think you’ll be impressed. It’s a great reminder that talent is not bound by age — a great lesson for the young and those of us not so young any more.
