I was asked to start a thread about this person and their efforts.....

Support him if you feel you can. By way of Gail Alpert Team 469.

Evan Kasprzak, son of former Team 469 mentor Jim Kasprzak, will be on "So You Think You Can Dance." The Kasprzaks are very close friends of mine. Evan is an outstanding dancer and a wonderful person.

The show airs on Wednesday evenings at 8 on FOX.

Both Evan and his older brother, Ryan, a dancer and choreographer, auditioned for the show in Memphis and made it all the way to the final 32 in Las Vegas. The top 20 dancers (10 male, 10 female) were selected tonight to compete live on the TV show. The judges decided that because their dance styles were similar, there was only room for one of them. Ryan was told that the choreography he created for Evan's solo, was responsible for Evan making the show.

Like American Idol, the show requires the public to call-in their votes for two hours following the show. Programmed calls are not allowed.

Please pass the word to anyone and everyone you know to vote for Evan Kasprzak as many times as they can during the two hours following the upcoming Wednesday shows. The winner receives $500,000, a new car, and a tour with the top 5 male and female dancers.
