There is one thing that I have been meaning to blog about since last week. That is the controversy over the "Anti-war" dance on last weeks SYTYCD show.
1. It was an amazing dance choreographed by Wade Robson
2. It was a poignant political statement.
3. I personally agree with what I think Nigel was stating in that if we are at the point where artists are not able to express their feelings and emotions in their art form then we are in deed at a very sad, sad point.
4. Wade choreographed a routine that he believed in and his website makes a great statement to this controversy.
Our "PEACE" number on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE on July, 25th 2007
"This was a cry for peace and nothing more.
In the video package they had a clip of Wade Robson saying that this was "antiwar." We want to make sure that it is clear that Wade's statement was in no way meant to be disrespectful to our men and women in the military, putting their lives on the line everyday for a lot of us. Wade and Amanda strongly believe that the selfless sacrifices of every one of the military's men and women are incomprehensibly courageous.
If Wade's statement did offend anybody in any way, we sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding.
All we were trying to say in this piece is that we don't want anymore innocent lives to be lost on either side.
That being said, this statement is not an apology in any way for the number and its message. It is a clarification of its intention.
