Where is Benji Schwimmer, Winner of SYTYCD Season 2?
I would say after winning the $250,000 on So You Think You Can Dance and winning every other dance competition for West Coast Swing, the answer would have to be anywhere he wants to be. ;-)
I was rooting for Benji Schwimmer to win (even though my heart was torn because I also wanted Travis…) in large part because he’s a swing dancer and my absolute favorite dance style to do is swing dance. There are times during a fast song when the dancing is hot that it almost feels like flying. (But I digress…)
I found this video of the winning performance in the USA Grand Nationals dance competition, Showcase Division that took place in May of this year. Of course, it was Benji, and his partner is named Kellese Key. (I may love to swing dance, but trust me when I say that I’ve never made moves like these!!)
