Elisa Toffoli (Featured Singer on SYTYCD) CD Giveaway
Written by: JohnThe music of Italian singer Elisa Toffoli has been featured a number of times on SYTYCD. Here’s a list of all Elisa Toffoli’s So You Think You Can Dance connections.
Since thousands of people are still visiting this site to check out all the great So You Think You Can Dance music, I decided that I should give away a couple of Elisa Toffoli’s CDs.
One CD I plan on giving to one person at random from anyone who comments on this post or if you want to remain private you can ask to be entered in the contest by asking on our Contact Us page.
I haven’t decided how I’ll give away the other CD. Try and blow me away somehow. Do something cool and exciting. For example, post a link to this blog somewhere that will drive thousands of people to it. Make an incredibly insightful and cool comment somewhere. Make me laugh. Basically do something that will be beneficial for the Pure SYTYCD community or at least get my attention in some nice way.
I’ll end the competition September 29. Enough time for you to get Elisa’s CD before Elisa’s US and Canadian Tour.
Any questions, feel free to ask away.
If you don’t want to wait for the giveaway, then you can always go buy Elisa Toffoli’s CD: Dancingon Amazon.

Lacey Schwimmer Featured on Elisa Toffoli Music Video “Rainbow”
Written by: JohnI don’t know how many of you have been following my list of So You Think You Can Dance Music, but one of the interesting artists that’s had their music on multiple seasons of So You Think You Can Dance is Elisa Toffoli.
So far, Elisa Toffoli’s music has been on SYTYCD at least 3 times that I know of:
Lacey Schwimmer and Kameron dancing to Elisa’s song “Dancing”
to Mia Michaels choreography. Here’s a video of Lacey Schwimmer and Kameron dancing to “Dancing”:
Some people have called this dance their favorite SYTYCD dance of all time. My favorite part is when Lacey leaps into Kameron’s arms at about the 1:15 mark.
The song Dancing sung by Elisa was also performed by Kelli Baker during the Salt Lake City/Dallas audition show:

Finally, Courtney Galiano danced a Top 6 solo to the song “Rock Your Soul” by Elisa

Well, it turns out that Lacey Schwimmer made an unofficial video for Elisa Toffoli’s song “Rainbow.”
Honestly, I would have loved to see Lacey do a Rhumba to this song, but Lacey actually did a pretty credible job as an actor in this video. Enjoy:
Also, watch this blog over the next couple weeks, because I plan on giving away some free Elisa Toffoli CDs. My only hint is that if you want some free Elisa Toffoli CDs and music, then it would be a good idea to start adding thoughtful comments to my blog.
