All I can say is that I have missed watching Danny Tidwell dance.  He is my favorite current dancer (I say current because Mikhail Baryshnikov will be my first dance love).  When I watch Danny dance it's like being connected to the soul of the whole world and knowing there is beauty beneath all the hatred and disagreement.  He is true beauty when he moves. 

If you don't know who Danny Tidwell is, well he is perfection.  He was first runner up in So You Think You Can Dance Season 3 (defeated by Sabra Johnson because America doesn't know how to vote).  He is also the adopted brother of Travis Wall (SYTYCD S2 first runner up...again, same story about America).  Before the show, he was known in the ballet world as one of the up and comers.  When he is on a stage, you can't take your eyes off him.  Not only is he technically gifted, but he holds a captivating power with his elegance, grace, and strength.

Someone posted this video recently.  It was recorded at the Dancers Responding to AIDS  benefit at Fire Island.  What makes this video even more breathtaking is the setting.  This piece goes so well with the ocean in the background and nothing else obstructing us from watching Danny.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I was on vacation and missed this one, but I have to share because it's my favorite Jimmy Fallon sketch that he regularly does (for obvious reasons).  It's good to know that RPattz and I are "botthered" by the same thing in this one.  I too hate those Snickers advertisements.  They are really dumb.
