So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD)

Post by Furls Fire »

I mentioned in the chatbane the other night that I would like to start a thread showcasing some of my favorite routines from SYTYCD, my favorite show on TV.

In all six seasons, this is my absolute favorite, tho there have been many that I've loved. But this one...stopped my heart.

Melissa and Ade: This Woman's Work

www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSolNmTF9a4&fea ... L&index=13

If you haven't seen this show, I urge you too. It's on Fox Tuesdays at 8pm with the results show on Weds at 8pm.

A couple more we love...

Kupono and Kayla: Addiction (Gravity)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS3qNcEBCv0&feature=fvw

Jeanine and Jason: If It Kills me

www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9LbkI4Pfuo&feature=related

Chelsie and Mark: Bleeding Love

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdGIdG8R_Og

Mark and Courtney: The Garden

www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmsUd3_b7mw&feature=related

And one of the best group dances! Ramalama!!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze3vtKpCoaE&pla ... F4jf_zhQnq

(I have no idea why that link is so long, but it works.)

There are ton more dances that I love, this is a good start. :)
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

I posted a link to "Addiction" in Fist's random videos thread, and this is what I said about it then:
I'm not a fan of SYTYCD, but my wife made me watch this, and I think it's one of the most beautifully expressive things I've ever seen:

I'm just sitting here smiling...

It does my heart good to see you posting outside of Stephen's thread (with links yet!), Furls. :hearts:

I'll post more soon. Brian loves this show too, so I'll have him post some too. There's one dance that Travis and Heidi did in the second season that won an emmy for Mia Micheals, the choreographer. So good. I"ll see if I can find it.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you

For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

As Tracie mentioned, I absolutely love this show. Partly because of my own background in dance, but mostly because there is something about dance that, when the artistry of the choreographer, dancer and musician come together in just the right way, can really touch the soul.

Tracie already posted a link to my very favourite - Jeanine & Jason, 'If It Kills Me' - so I'll have to find links to some of my other favourites...

In the meantime, any predictions for season 6 winner?

Some amazing, amazing stuff. Being among the world's worst dancers (and artists) is a very sad thing for me, but I absolutely love watching it! 2 Steps Away is my favorite. Blows me away!

It's on tonight on FOX, Fisty. 8pm :) Top 10. I'll probably fall asleep during it, thank goodness for DVR's.

And Brian, so far my favorites are Ashleigh, Kathryn, Jakob, Russell, Noell, and of course Legacy!

Also, I heard that Mia has left the show :(

Sonjya choreographed this one, she also did Mark and Courtney's The Garden Dance in season 4. She's so awesome!! :)

That was awesome too, Stone :)

Here's something beautiful, this was actually on DWTS: Susan Boyle singing "I Dreamed a Dream" which is beauty in of itself, but then, you have Tony and Chelsie (Chelsie is a SYTYCD alumni) dancing to it. Takes your breath away...

And Russell wins!!! I'm so happy he did, I liked him from the first time I saw the auditions. :) I don't know if I posted dances from him, but I'll look on youtube and post some soon.

YAY RUSSELL!!! :banana: (I'm kinda partial to the name too..hehe)

I've never seen SYTYCD, but I stumbled across this article that fans of the show might get a kick out of:

(I did watch the clip of This Woman's Work...wow...amazed at the emotional effect it had on the audience and judges.)
