So You Think You Can Dance -- Season 8

[daniellaaarisen]

A friend of mine from high school just made So You Think You Can Dance's Top 20! I don't know if there are any fans of the show on the Ledge, but if you watch it, please consider voting for her. I've known her since we were 13 and she has worked so, so hard for this... she even left our high school junior year to move to LA and dance with Mia Michaels. She is INCREDIBLY talented and an incredibly good person... one of the sweetest I know. I'm so, so happy for her!

Her name is Ryan Ramirez:

BUMP.

Ryan's officially in the top 16.... she was in the bottom 6 tonight and only 2 people were saved, and she was one of them.

Seriously, even if you don't watch the show, vote for Ryan next week. I'll post a reminder. The judges are right-- she hasn't brought out her full potential yet and when she does, she'll be unstoppable.

Small world. My friend Melanie Moore is also on this season, I've known her since I was about seven, my mom taught her dance for a few years, and she went to middle school with me although she was a year older.

Her first dance was INCREDIBLE, the "Turn To Stone" performance with Marko.

Hope it's okay that I bump this.

My friend Melanie made it to the Top 4, and they just had their last performance tonight, so voting is going on now. Tonight will determine who wins tomorrow. So, if anyone is feeling generous, voting for her would be an amazing thing.
