Worst show I've ever seen
In my opinion, I think it's crazy that people actually like this show!! It's so boring! Dancing with the Stars is such a fun and entertaining show compared to this show. So You Think You Can Dance is very boring and there is nothing entertaining about it. I don't recommend this show at all to anyone.

awsome
best show ever!!!!! this is one of my favorite shows. i start to like it more as it gets to the end ( top 20 or so) because at that point all the dancing is good, no one gets hurt and the judges arn't as mean. yes some of the feelmale dancers wear some reaviling outfits, but no one mentions them so it's not anything bad. all in all wath this show

I really recommend!
This is my absolute favorite show (it got me interested in performing arts!) that I really appreciate for it's variety. The dancers can go from classical ballroom one week to traditional African to avante-garde to Bollywood another. There are a couple salsas that could be considered a little... spicy... but nothing ever over the top.

A great show for older kids!
If you're old enough to handle some of the dances and outfits, it's one of the best shows out there. I'm a dancer, and these people show me what some of the best look like. It's a great show for teens and above and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a great show with some of the best dancers. I hope Kent of Lauren win this season!

Great Show
Once the top 20 are picked, there is much less curse words, anger, etc. Some dances are inappropriate, but that is VERY VERY VERY rare.

Good show, but I reccomend DVR'ing it and watching it yourself before showing it to your kids. They sometimes throw in the occasional "Seduction" dances. Bleh.

It's interesting!
This show is most of the time a family show. Someetimes the judges could be a little hasty when it comes to their choice of word but otherwise it's a family show. I love the dancing everyone should watch it.

Ok.
I think this show is ok. As a dancer, I watch it every week, being a bit of a judge because of what I know. In my opinion, I think that you should not watch until the top 20, for many reasons. One is that one person wants to be called "sex" and belts out swear words like they are nothing. Other people tend to swear if they get rejected, and hearing them beep out the swears so often just hurts your ears. Once at the Top 20, I believe it is fine. They beep out the swear words, which they rarely use. The social behavior is not the best, as this season has a young man crushing on his partner, so he goes overboard when they get dances like the rumba, and other Latin dances in which they have to get quite close. Some inappropriate comments come from the judges, and one guest judge seems to flirt with most of the girls. It's up to the parents at what age you should start watching.

I watch this every time it comes on.
Okay, this show is so not bad that it's crazy. They bleeb out all the cuss words and it's just dancing. The judges sit in their seats and drink like tea or whatever, who cares, and the dancers get out there and do their thing. It's an AWESOME show.
