After 13 years in music, Jennifer Lopez announced earlier this year that she would finally embark on a World Tour! It was the moment millions of JLovers around the world have been waiting for!

The Dance Again tour officially kicked off on June 14. With all the talk, excitement, photos, and videos, it was incredibly hard not to spoil the show for myself. Admittedly, I took a few peeks, but there was no comparison to the live show.

I have been lucky enough to attend several shows. It took a couple of road trips and over 1,000 miles on the road, but I definitely couldn't miss it! I can tell you first hand that this is a show you do not want to miss!

From the moment Jennifer's dancers come on stage and her custom JLo curtain is ripped away, until the moment she finishes her "Dance Again" encore, you are taken on a journey only JLo can provide! There are so many elements to the show that you don't know where to look- pyrotechnics, confetti, fireworks, lighting, video backdrops, her talented dancers and, of course, Jennifer herself!

There were so many personal highlights that it's hard to narrow down my favorites. There’s the amazing choreography of "Get Right" (cane and all!) and boxing JLo in "Goin' In." She goes back to the Bronx with some of our favorite classics, and slows it down with a beautiful acoustic rendition of "If You Had My Love" and a touching tribute to her kids set to "Until It Beats No More." And I can't leave out Jennifer's Latin-tinged hits at her 'Club Babalu,' or the incredibly intricate footwork for "Let's Get Loud" and "On The Floor"— that had the biggest reaction from the audience.

Then — all too soon — we get to her final song, "Dance Again." I was lucky enough to see the show in New Jersey, so we had a surprise performance of "Follow The Leader" with Wisin y Yandel!

Each song showcased the best of Jennifer. It's like she told fans at her show in New Jersey on Friday, July 20 she had to leave Idol because "This is what I do!" I loved her on American Idol, but I can't argue with that statement! She lights up the stage with her energy and charisma. Just seeing Jennifer in her element, performing all of her biggest hits was amazing. Watching her from the audience, singing along and dancing to my favorite songs with such an enthusiastic crowd full of LOVE was an amazing experience. The crowd was so loud in NJ that Jennifer even remarked that we gave her "goosies!"

Overall, it was an amazing experience, and if you don't have tickets to one of her upcoming shows, you definitely need to buy some! This show is an experience JLovers will not want to miss!!
