Ellen busts a move on So You Think You Can Dance

By David Knox on August 14, 2010 / Filed Under News 14

She loves to dance on her show and now Ellen DeGeneres has strut her stuff on So You Think You Can Dance.

DeGeneres appeared in the show’s two-hour finale filling in for injured ballet dancer Alex Wong, who stunned viewers with his hip-hop skills. But Wong was injured the following week and had to leave the competition to have surgery.

DeGeneres said that Wong’s injury broke her heart “and as a joke I said this would be fun to do and it became a reality thanks to (husband-and-wife choreographing team) Tabitha and Napoleon.”

    I loathe Ellen’s embarassing housewife dances on her show, in fact the minute she starts up I change channel. what’s “go girl” about her dancing?

    There’s something just not quite right about seeing a middle aged woman on the dance floor. Give me a bucket!

    Personally I don’t care if she’s 15 or 50, let Ellen dance. If Tina Turner can still shake her ‘groove thing’, Ellen should be allowed to as well. You go Girl! LOL

    On her show I always find it a bit cringeworthy when I see a 50 year old woman dancing like she was 16. Not my cup of tea at all.
