Everett Smith on SYTYCD Canada (Sept 22)

Here's Everett's routine from last night's So You Think You Can Dance. It's the first time tap has been performed in one of the competition numbers. Hopefully we'll get to see a little more from Everett in the future.

Everett Smith on SYTYCD Canada

Hey, a hoofer made Canada's So You Think You Can Dance top 20! Best of luck to Everett Smith. Everett is a regular teacher in the Eastern Canada Tap Conference and is well-known for some crazy tap moves.

Here's a video of his audition.

It's not too often you see kaleidoscope videos these days (especially with tap). The low-budget quality also has a special charm to it.

Bowfire Show @ Centerpointe, March 16, 17

Here's a description of the show from their website:
[Bowfire] takes its audiences on a musical journey that moves seamlessly from Jazz, Classical, Bluegrass, Celtic, Rock, Gypsy, World, Texas Swing and Ottawa Valley and Cape Breton styles and mixes in incredible step and tap dancing and a beautiful voice. All of this gets wrapped around a fast-paced show with first class production values that include great sound, choreography, dramatic lighting, set design and costumes.

See http://www.bowfire.com/

The show is also appearing on Bravo television on Feb 7, 10 and March 9th. See Bravo.ca for more info.

Note: After watching the show on TV, I was disappointed to learn that there very little dancing in it (about 2 1/2 numbers). However, there was a very nice performance by Stephanie Cadman. You can see it in her promotion video on her website.
