Michael Dameski--Billy: Oz, Broadway, & US Tour

Congratulations, Michael!

You wanted it....you worked hard for it......and you won it! Enjoy the victory, and best of luck with your next endeavour!

Wow..! Despite, perhaps, being fortutous...totally magnificent and so very deserving. Frankly, I simply cannot recall such a dynamic performer like him at his age, recognizing his development over the past three years.

What a joy it will be to follow his career with the distinct possibility of seeing him perform here in the States. Can I say, I can't wait?

Kudos to an unexcelled talent and terrific young man.

An absolutely superb interview with Michael on Network Ten's Wake Up programme:

Or here, if you can't see it above, it is here:

(Interesting how he makes no reference to the fact that he has already been a star in the US, on Broadway and on the Tour of BETM!)

Here is today's feature in The Daily Mail:

Congratulations, Michael! I'm so so happy for you! You certainly deserve this win and opportunity - you obviously worked hard during the last few years
and we all saw your approvements in your many youtube videos. I'm looking forward to follow your career further on!

Good luck for your next dancing adventure in the US and Europe!

Here's another interview with Michael shortly after his big win. He choreographed that routine himself, and in one day!

Thanks for the link. That is an excellent interview.

One day.... Now I'm even more impressed. He certainly knew what would work, didn't he?! Simply agog!!!

Very cool interview!

Another absolutely phenomenal performance from Michael at the KAR Showcase. Again, this is his own choreography. No wonder he won!

I have been watching So You Think You Can Dance, and all I can say is this kid needs to come to the US again when he's 18 and get himself on that show!

Not a bad prediction of almost a year ago. Would he get an invite as an Australian winner to compete?

[ERinVA]

The US show has had winners from other SYTYCD shows. There was a ballroom dancer who had won the Armenian version, for example, so it is apparently possible for that to happen. That young man did not win the US version, but Michael might have a better shot at it.

Michael is featured in this video of Project Haunted, along with fellow Billy, Dayton Tavares:

Michael's final dance partner from SYTYCDAU, Lauren Seymour, is also in the video.
