Lifts definitely get attention. On that other dance show (So You Think You Can Dance), the contestants are young professional dancers, most with years of training. When they dance beautifully, better than almost everybody else in the world, the audience hardly seems to notice. But when they do tricks that your 12-year-old who is a gymnastics student can do, the audience goes wild.

When you dance for yourself, you're dancing. But when you dance for an audience it's a performance.
