Listen: Island Music to Top Off Your Summer
The end of summer is approaching and the feeling is bittersweet. But the season isn’t quite over yet, which makes the songs I’ll be sharing with you totally appropriate.

So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 14 Perform’ Music Highlights
Tonight’s episode was all about the top 14 and choreographer Mia Michaels. All 8 routines (that’s including the amazing opening group routine) were choreographed by Michaels.

It’s more important for me to have a simple-yet-neat design than an intricate-but-possibly-sloppy design. Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what […]

Bunheads
I’ve wanted to talk about ABC Family’s Bunheads since the pilot episode.
