For those who don't know, Benji is an extremely talented photographer. Check his Myspace for his photos of Travis, Allison, Ivan, Jason Williams, and Ashlee Nino.

Season 2 In Canada

Back in June, some of our season 2 favorites traveled to Toronto to tape a performance for CTV. We have yet to find anything about the actual taping, but Jason William has uploaded this video of a rehearsal performance. Benji Schwimmer, Allison Holker, Dmitry Chaplin, Martha Nichols, Ashlee Nino, and Jason.

Choreographer's Corner

Brian Friedman is in the UK working on a show called X-Factor, but he's still a favorite of So You Think You Can Dance fans. Here he's teaching a class that includes season 1's Blake McGrath, season 2's Jason Williams, and season 3's Lauren Gottlieb.


We haven't seen Tovaris Wilson this season, but some of his lyrical choreography has been memorable. Check his Myspace page for more videos.

So You Think You Can Dance - Season 2 Favorites

Season 2 finalist and friend of the blog Jason Williams has posted new pics to his MySpace page, including what he calls "us old and forgotten about sytycd'ers". Ashlee Nino, Martha Nichols, Dmitry Chaplin, Allison Holker, Benji Schwimmer, and Jason recently performed in Toronto for CTV.

You'll need a MySpace log-in to view.

Jason Williams Teaching

I found these videos of SYTYCD season 2 finalist Jason Williams teaching a class in North Carolina. The choreography (Jason's) is really nice and deserves to be seen. That's him in the red hoodie.

Jason Williams Update

So You Think You Can Dance season 2 finalist Jason Williams (eliminated way too early IMHO) checks in with his hometown paper, the Wilmington Star. He's done some movie work and will be teaching all summer. The rest of the story here.

Jason Williams and Aleksandra Wojda: Wrath Of Kane

Aleksandra Wojda and Jason Williams doing hip-hop routine to Wrath Of Kane by Big Daddy Kane. I still can't believe they eliminated Jason after this performance. He was great!
