Got to Dance

Why do people like the last reviewer post negative views on shows that that are of no interest to them. There are a lot of people that love dance shows and the human interest story's of the contestants. Look at the success of "Dancing with the Stars" worldwide. I am an ex professional Ballroom dancer and teacher so know something about dance. Would I write a review on that show either US or OZ, NO because I can't stand watching Judges and some Professional teachers that don't have a clue so I don't watch the show. Should I spoil it for the millions who love that show. No way, I will keep my opinion to my self. Now Got To Dance features so many dance styles its impossible to judge apples with apples. So as in all dance competitions it is in the eyes of the beholder. The judges are wonderful. Ashley, Kimberley, Adam and now Aston offer the contestants advice and offer support and enthusiasm you couldn't pay for. Although I don't always agree with the vote in results, many a career will be forged from this show. If you want 5th rate dancing because of c level celebrities judged by people who have never had to train someone from scratch to a solo competition performance. Then Dancing with the Stars is for you. Reality Heaven. But if you want to watch a Dsnce show with so many diverse styles and such an array of talent with judges who really care Go to Dance wins hands down. Before writing this review I just watched the last semi final on Got To Dance season 4 (We are somewhat behind in Australia) The talent on display wasincredible and my hands are still sore from clapping.

This show was an example of both shameless advertising and reality talent shows with more ads and filler than actual DANCING. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, it is literally painful to watch. I'd be more entertained watching paint dry. The so called 'judges' don't even choose based upon talent, it's all about 'swag' and potential of being a commercial dance group. Speaking of the judges, they are just A-listers who have had their 10 minutes of fame and now need to do crap like this for cash. The only judge with any credibility is Ashley Banjo, the winner of Britain's Got Talent with his group Diversity(which by the way is an actually decent talent show which features 'real' content), unfortunately he is just there to be a recognizable face(like the talent-less hack Aston Merrygold). There are no redeemable qualities for this show, i'd call it a cash grab but most cash grabs actually have bearable content, this is just painful.

I have to say, watching Got to Dance is an enjoyable show. I have seen so much talent from adults, young adults and even little kids. I have to say the only downfall about the show is they allow very young kids to enter the show and let them through because of how cute they were. There were little kids who didn't know what they were doing on the stage but got let through because they were cut. I did think to myself as judges you have to be honest little kids or not you are judges and you should be honest and fair not just give them gold because they look cute. I have seen many talented people get kicked out and little three year olds have been allowed through as parents and judges you have to say to yourself they are young they may get upset if they fail to impress but you cant put a child through that especially if there is no actual proper dancing involved. They said this year is more serious 3 stars you need to get, but judging from the kids they let through who didn't dance much the show doesn't seem serious it seems very unfair for the people that tried and didn't succeed.

I am a big fan of got to dance but i was rather disappointed and put off this year.
