Received this note about a hometown boy made good from reader Mary Grover:
Greetings!
If you are a fan of FOX Television's show, "So You Think You Can Dance," you will want to watch next week now that Phillip Attmore has made the top 20 dancers in competition, (now pared down to the top 18.) Phillip is a terrific dancer/performer who specializes in tap dancing. One of the show's judges noted that Phillip will be someone to be reckoned with throughout the series. He is really quite versatile in many dance styles, but tap is his first love, and is he smooth.
Phillip is a graduate of St. Elizabeth's School in Altadena, and his family still lives in Pasadena. Many Alta-Pasadenans may remember him tap dancing in Old Town. He's appeared in commercials, and theater productions nation-wide, (including our much-beloved Pasadena Playhouse.)
It's always great to support the hometown hero, so I encourage those who know Phillip, and those who just want to support him because he is a native son, and those who appreciate an accomplished dancer, to watch the show and vote for him. He is a terrific young man and performer, and deserves our support and votes.
