80 years on and still dancing

The Pointed toes team was inspired by an amazing women Roey Pokrass, 80, who has taught dance exercise classes for over 30 years at the Range Line School in Mequon

Roey's mother continued to dance until she was 102 years of age and she will try and follow in her mothers foot steps by doing the same.

Pokrass has said, " I'm going to bop until I drop."

Where are they now?

So you think you can dance Season 3 has already been launched and the Pointed Toes team was thinking about the last two seasons and we were interested to see what some of the previous dancers were up to after becoming stars.

The word on the street is the winners from the past two seasons Jack Chambers (Season 1) and Talia Fowler (Season 2) have both been travelling around the US, Jack has been choreographing in New York and Talia has been performing in a number of productions and will star in FAME: The Musical which is coming to Australia later this year.

Other past dancers Rhys Bobridge (Season 1 runner-up) has turned to music and concentrating on his singing career, Charlie Bartley (Season 2 runner-up) is part of an up-and-coming dance troupe and will also appear in FAME: The musical, Amy Campbell will also appear in FAME: The musical and has done a campaign for the sports brand Lorna Jane and Kate Wormald has been assisting the choreographers on this seasons SYTYCD and giving the dancers some tips and advice.

MJ, Travis Payne and the inmates

The famous "Dancing Inmates" from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison in the Philippines were treated to a visit by Michael Jacksons long-time choreographer Travis Payne and two of MJ's dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn routines from THIS IS IT.

This special visit would of really inspired the inmates and help them pay tribute to their favourite star.
