Or SYTYCD to us nerds. This type of dance/competition show is the only thing I love about reality television. Not only are these dancers unbelievably talented, they are performing choreography that is created by true visionaries. Here are some of the top dances of the season.
Breast Cancer Tribute
Dancers Melissa and Ade performed this beautiful contemporary dance from choreographer Tyce Diorio. The moving piece tells the story of a woman fighting for her life and a man who stands by her side. All the judges were moved to tears by the performance. And if you are not, well, you are dead inside...
Daring Disco
Brandon and Janette put on their dancing shoes for this fun disco number. Choreographer Dorianna Sanchez adds a breath of fresh air to this style of dance. And when you are working with a great (and strong) duo like Brandon and Janette, the dance world is your oyster.
Something Addicting
Kayla and Kupono dance a number symbolic of a woman dealing with addiction. Kayla is the needy addictor and Kupono is the dark addiction. This number comes from the brilliant mind of Mia Michaels. It is truly beautiful.
Love is a Battlefield
Laurieann Gibson brought duo Jeanine and Brandon together for a great pop jazz routine. There is no story here, Gibson says the story is the dancer. And, boy, they did a great job telling a story of their own.
No Ifs, Ands, or...
Choreographer Mia Micheals makes it all about the butt in this performance by Evan and Randi. These dancers are cute together and bring a lot to the stage. It's a fun and originative piece that will put a smile on your face.
Hard Hitting
They really put the dancers through the ringer this season. Kayla is now in a number about an beaten woman in an abusive relationship. Canadian choreographer Stacey Tookey created this chilling piece that was so moving and painful, yet so beautiful.
Jai Ho
Bollywood has never been such a fascinating subject as it is today. And dancers Jason and Caitlin only add to the fun and wonder of this style of dance. Nikuul choreographed such a fun and whisical piece, danced spectacularly to the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.
Eight is Great
Seeing the Top 8 perform together was a treat. Especially when past season dancer Travis Wall created the number. The piece is funky, fun, and the perfect number for these talented dancers. Break out the glow sticks!
Tabitha and Napoleon D'Umo Highlights
I truly love these choreographers. They bring out the best in these dancers (even when they are chained together). Here are some of my favorites: both from dancers Jeanine and Philip.
