I had a typo in that phrase -- I meant to say pop music AND "So You Think You Can Dance," but we've really seen an elevation in the style and intricacy of dance within music videos, pop star tours, etc. Back in the 70's and 80's, real singer-dancers were rare. Celebrated, sure, but other than the Jacksons, Paula Abdul and Madonna, you really didn't see singers who were doing CHOREOGRAPHY. Nowadays, there are a TON of singers showing off real DANCE dance within their acts. P!nk's "Try" video is a great example. Such gorgeous choreography. And just about any major tour is full of real DANCER dancers, showing off their stuff. America has developed a real appreciation for it. I think that's great. - GMB

considering how big the dance competition world has gotten, that's not surprising! sooner or later broadway will catch up with the talent out there.
