Krumper and Roxbury native Russell Ferguson captured the coveted title of America's Favorite Dancer last night, winning season six of So You Think You Can Dance. Russell, who studied dance at Boston City Lights and Boston Arts Academy High School, thanked his fellow dancers, his family, and God. We're so pleased to be able to claim a reality show contestant who isn't a total tool. Bostonist interviewed Russell back in October, and we'd like to think our shameless pimping contributed to his win. Well done, Bostonist readers; and congratulations, Russell! more ›

Fox's hit show So You Think You Can Dance (think American Idol minus the caterwauling and plus epic foot injuries) held its first Boston auditions this spring. The visit was a success for local dancers, with two of the show's twenty finalists hailing from the Bay State. Bostonist is totally addicted to SYTYCD, a reality show that doesn't rely on manufactured drama and instead focuses on talented contestants performing amazing feats of athleticism and skill. Many of the dancers have trained since they were toddlers, and it shows in the intricate routines they somehow master each week. Dancers are eliminated weekly, first by a panel of judges, then, when the show is down to its top 10, by whomever receives the fewest votes from the show's viewers. Bostonist is here to catch you up on the story so far for both Massachusetts dancers so that our readers can tune in and vote for them. (Bostonist has no shame about being a total homer.) more ›
