When I was asked to attend a webinar and visit a Microsoft store by The Motherhood, I’m not sure what I expected.…

Mary Murphy at the Boston So You Think You Can Dance Auditions
I didn’t know what to expect when we met the judges from So You Think You Can Dance. Turns out that Mary Murphy is not only beautiful, but a really nice person to talk with. She shared with us how she found her (unexpected) passion for ballroom dancing and how she eventually won her dad’s…

So You Think You Can Dance Returns for Season 10
I love So You Think You Can Dance. I think there’s a part of me that always wanted to be a dancer. I like that the show makes dancing current, exposes us all to new forms of dance, and provides a platform for celebrating talented young dancers. Plus, it’s fun to see your favorite contestants…
