So many to choose from.  My first day on set working with Sidney Poitier  it was so nerve racking but amazing . Doing Ready steady Cook live . That was so fantastic doing the Royal Variety show , for the first time , with the young generation waiting to dance in front of the Queen.

I don’t !!!!!  Not really i work my working life with my personal life . I manage to be at all the grand childrens birthdays . Family is very important to me and I would turn work down if it meant i would miss a big event . When i said yes to ‘SoYou Think you can Dance ‘, it was on the understanding that i had time out for my son’s wedding , otherwise NO DEAL !!

Yes i still get nervous , every time i hear the SYTYCD music i get the sweaty hands and feel light headed .  I hate live shows . The funny thing was on Australian SYTYCD . I was doing it live and i said a dancer was shit hot . Well the presenter said ,”Bonnie said shit Hot ,  My other judge , said ‘did she say shit hot ‘ By then I said ; can’t i say shit on Australian TV .   We ended up saying 11 shits in one half hour show and you are only allowed 2 . Very embarrassing .

I have worked with them all . from Michael Jackson , to Sean Connery , to Cliff Richard , Amie Winehouse , Sidney Poitier , Tom Jones   Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis Junior ,Diana Ross, Cilla Black , Black eyed peas ,Leona Lewis , Olivia Newton John , Jerry lee Lewis , Sarah Ferguson and her daughters .  Donny Osmond . Spice girls , plus a million more .

Best moment was with Gene kelly , I met him in New Zealand , he was the host in a co production with the BBC , he was amazing and at a sit down dinner he knew all our names.

SYTYCA is a winner because we have opened the door to dancers . Now the World know how hard they work , what stress they are under and how talented they have to be .  Every little girl wants to dance , but now Boys want to join in . Learn Hip Hop, be a Ballroom dancer  .
Also the public realise , dance is for guys as well . getting into a Crew is now looked on as fantastic where as before it was unheard of . People now respect dancers .
In SYTYCD , dancers show what they can do , how quickly they learn and how they work with partners . This is amazing for dancers , They are now recognized for the talented people they are Thanks to SYTYCD . It has also put the Choreographers on the map . We  know who the great ones are .    Taking this show around the world is fantastic , bringing it to the UK is something i wanted to do 3 years ago, but just couldn’t. It is here now and thank God.

U.K  will learn what talent we have, and give the British dancer a career, they couldn’t of had without the dance show. This is a big step forward for Dancers and Choreographers. We in UK needed a lift in TV. I believe we have it with SYTYCD.
