So You Think You Can Dance: Cat Deeley Chats About Season Five - Page 3

Nigel did post the following apology: “I sincerely regret the fact that I have upset people with the poor word choices and comments I made both during the taping of the So You Think You Can Dance audition and on my personal status update. I am not homophobic and it was extremely upsetting for me to be classed as such. Professionally and personally, I believe the sexual orientation of an auditioner or contestant is irrelevant. I trust that my humor will be more sensitive and mindful moving forward.”

I can only predict that future installments of SYTYCD will have more and more same-sex couples auditioning in order to challenge stereotypes in the dance world. Who knows, maybe Misha and Mitchel will be back for the next round of auditions for season six that begin this week in Boston. I am looking forward to watching part two of the season five auditions which airs on Wednesday, May 27 at 8, and I know that we will be entertained, thrilled, and, yes, even challenged to expand our conceptions of dance throughout the summer as we watch and vote for America’s favorite dancer on So You Think You Can Dance.
