SYTYCDFinaleA121609.mov

Russell Ferguson was named Americas Favorite Dancer on So You Think You Can Dance Wednesday night.


The win surprised a lot of people considering Ferguson, whose specialty is Krumping, hadnt trained in any of the traditional dance styles.


But, win he did over the exceptionally well-trained Jakob Karr, who week after week dazzled the judges with his superiors skills and charismatic personality.


Ferguson was a winner Executive Producer, Nigel Lythgoe was exceptionally pleased about. Lythgoe knows that now a whole crop of dancers whod never consider auditioning for SYTYCD because of their lack of training, will probably be inspired to take the leap.


And hes not alone. SYTYCD judge, Adam Shankman as well as third runner up, Ellenore Scott, both agree and add that the Krumper earned his titled and the whopping $250,000 prize.

For the love of God. Russell has six years of training in ballet and modern dance.

[21Hova21]

All dancers have training but his dance training is limit compared to the other dancers

[nashwanabila123]

Russel in his audition to sytycd stated that he had training,so Nigel was basically a big fat liar going on and on about how Russel was untrained....

[wurshupper]

not quite right, he danced as child n went to public arts highschoo for inner city youth n 1 yr of dance at college. He danced street n underground Krump 99%. Not the same as life of expensive formal tech training. Still think Nigel was downplayin him though. By unpolished I think he means young, black n poor n I hate that he did that.

[wurshupper]

I think Nigel is a manipulator

[chandiggy]

True, and I know inner city kids (generalization) dont want to be looking all soft doing that "polished" stuff. The soulfulness that he brought to all those styles was amazing. No offense to the comments the judges made but how many times are we going to see the same things over and over. Russell breathe life into the same ole thing and made it hip.

[xXCAFF92Xx]

elle is so honest lol.

[cannoir]

I am starting to think that "unpolished" is a code word for something else.I can read between the lines.

[Suprakool]

They keep saying hes unpolished just becuase his style is crump, even though hes had alot of training.

[McPhee1981]

He also had some experience in Latin dancing as well
