Mia Michaels on the Kelly Alexander Show
Don't forget to check out our show this week as the wonderfully talented Mia Michaels of So You Think You Can Dance joins us for a chat about how she got her career into high gear by working with A-List celebrities like Madonna, Prince, and Celine Dion. She also shares what it is like to be a judge and choreographer on the highly popular So You Think You Can Dance. It is not an easy task dealing with all these aspiring dancers, and you can tell Mia is very passionate about these dancers and where they are headed with their careers. She also lets us know what it was like to be a part of Janet Jackson's team that paid tribute to Michael Jackson at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 - fascinating behind the scenes information!
