CelebritySo You Think You Can Dance Winners: Our Favorite Dance
Sep 19, 2012 @ 10:47 am
The So You Think You Can Dance? Season 9 finale aired last night and the winners are… Chehon Wespi-Tschopp and Eliana Girard! Their classical ballet training—he at the Royal Ballet School and she at Alvin Ailey and Cirque du Soleil—shot them ahead of all the pop-and-lockers and hip-hoppers throughout the competition to the number one spots, chosen by you, America. “I think it’s a triumph for the show, and I think it’s a triumph of a celebration of ballet,” choreographer Mary Murphy said of the twinkle-toed pair after their final dance (watch it above!). And if you’re looking for a few more beats per minute, Carly Rae Jepsen premiered her new song “This Kiss” during the show. (It’s catchy! Of course it is, IT’S CARLY.) Congrats to Chehon and Eliana!

Well, it’s over, and I can honestly say I wish SYTYCD would go on longer. At least there is less than a year before the next season starts! This year we had so much personality and dancing prowess, but I really liked having both a male and female winner. I am also glad Chehon and Eliana were the winners; truly the best. I’m glad I saw the finale though, because sometimes, in the past, I missed a show when a sporting event changed the time of the show, like the Olympics did this year. Since I have my Hopper with PrimeTime Anytime now though, it records the show no matter what time it changes to, during prime time. That’s a relief when I’m expecting my DISH coworkers to come over for a finale party!
