IT’S 1969, AND NIGEL LYTHGOE THINKS HE CAN DANCE

Leave it to the irrepressible James St James at The WOW Report to dig up this 1969 video of Nigel Lythgoe frantically frugging and ponying to the beat with his dance group the Young Generation. It’s particularly ironic because despite his flamboyance in this video, Nigel was not long ago accused of making homophobic comments about contestants on his show “So You Think You Can Dance.”  Later he apologized for his unseemly remarks.
