CWS: "Do You Think You Can Dance" Contest Final Results

by Becky Kenaan

"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Becky Boop with Da' Scoop, your action CWS reporter.  I am standing here with a crowd gathered outside the famous Black & White Stage Hall. 

I am here to interview 95 year old Ernie Buttonface, who was in the audience witnessing today's exciting final round of competition." 

Becky: "So, tell me Mr. Buttonface, what was it like for you to experience such an exciting and wonderful event?" 

Ernie: Well, Ms. Becky, It was nothing quite like I have ever seen in my long life before. Why, that young man...oh I forget his name... uh..uh.. oh, yes ..Zigfreed.. watching him perform those amazing tricks he did with those wild lions...and ah, oh yes - those wonderful women "The Flying Caproni Sisters" performing that high-wire act without a safety net.  Amazing!" 

Becky: "No, Mr. Buttonface, that was not Zigfreed... You must be confusing those names with Zigrich and FreedomRock.  And we had no circus high-wire acts here today, Sir.  VikkiLynn Caproni was actually performing a Broadway Musical." 

Ernie: "Oh... That is right.. I remember now...I also saw those two perform in Las Vegas a few years ago.. "Zigrich & FreedomRock." I noticed that the poor chap still had that awful scar on on his face from that lion attack." And, wasn't that the daughter of Al Capone?"

Becky: "No, Mr. Buttonface, you are confusing them with "Zigfried & Roy."   There is no relation whatsoever. And, Zig aways looks that way, Sir.  And, Ms. Caproni is not related to Al Capone"   

Ernie: "Oh, okay then never mind.. But I did like the seats, they were quite comfortable. And, oh yes, the restrooms were very clean as well."

Becky: "Well, (cough) thank you Mr. Buttonface.  Folks, you heard it live from the Black & White Performance Center.  Let's now go inside and talk to others that were so instrumental for what had gone on here today, shall we? 

(I Open the Hall doors and then proceed to the center stage area)

Becky: "Hello, (looking at her name badge) Ms. Sunrae.  So, how did you feel the event went today?"

Sunrae: "Why thank you, (looking at my name badge) Bocky!  It was an absolute marvelous event!  Would you mind picking that piece of paper up for me, please?"

Becky: "Not at all, Ms. Sunrae!  It is "Becky" Ma'am...So I was saying to one of our many guests in the audience how exciting this event was today.  Your comments to their reactions, please?"

Sunrae: "Yes, (looking at my name badge again) Bucky... Undoubtedly it was one of our finest events of the year with such fierce competition and suspense.  You wouldn't mind holding this broom for me now, would you?"

 Becky: "Of course not, Ms. Sunrae... It is "Becky" Ma'am (with an "e"). So, tell me exactly, in your own words, what you felt was the most significant dramatic event you saw performed?"

 Sunrae: "Well (looking at my name badge a 3rd time) Bicky, it had to be the sound man once more.  I tell you, it was absolutely amazing the magic he worked to get just the right mix of acoustics and balance for the wonderful music that was played."

Becky: "But I understand that there were a few technical problems associated with the event.  Do you care to elaborate on those problems Ma'am?"

Sunrae:  "Okay, look!  I don't know who sent you to interview me, but NOTHING happened whatsoever!  Do you hear me! NOTHING! Oh..Security, Security!  Please escort Ms. Backy out of the building!" (Pfft! troublemaking, blankety, blank, blank,  B^%@H)

VikkiLynn Caproni and her dancing partner, Alden (aldenwise)

VikkiLynn chose the theme of "The Waltz." 

The song they selected was the title song from "The Phantom of the Opera."

This particular choreography was a mix of several styles of waltzes, incorporating a few other styles of dance to lend it variation. The Phantom of the Opera has powerfully dynamic music and was this chosen as her choice in music to fit her theme. The stage set cellar scene from the Broadway Classic was painstakingly built by a friend, made specifically for this event.

VikkiLynn's gown and the Phantom's outfit were chosen and matched from actual photos from the original stage production of the Phantom of the Opera. The cellar scene was chosen as our stageset design theme.

Zigrich Zsigmond and His Dancing Partner, Agee Z. Canto 
The song they selected was "Sexy Tango" by Comis

The Tango, The Mambo, The Salsa... to name a few were ethnic dances comprised of a rich blend of Latin-American and Western influences, namely from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia, and Argentina.  Both the Tango and Salsa dances were normally partner type dances, although there are recognized and performed also in solo forms.  Both the Tango and the Salsa could be improvised freestyle and/or performed as a set, choreographed routine.

Zig and Agee performed the Sexy Tango jazz in Latin style. Zig wore a stunning silk outfit with an open shirt, silk pangolintango red scarf, and tango shoes.  Agee wore a rosy-red sleek gown, wonderful rose shoes, and black gloves to complement her partner. Her dress fit tightly to her slim silhouette with a sexy criss-crossed front and open back with a slit to one side of her gown, revealing her sexy stockings.

The Chicks outfits were a combination of modest burlesque style /chorus girl style, with the short pants and top hat.

 In the late 1920s and early 1960s, New York City's jazz musicians began referring to New York City as the "Big Apple." An old saying in show business was "There are many apples on the tree, but only one Big Apple." So, New York City became the premier place to perform and referred to as the Big Apple. 

Frank Sinatra has long been a significant and influential driving force, especially when comes to Broadway production shows.The outfits that the group wore were all reminiscent of the Broadway Jazz Style and  perfect for New York show type dancing - smooth trousers with Tommy Hilfiger suspender, tan tops, and fabulous Fedora hats.
