Expression Of Dance- Top 10 favorite routines on So You Think You Can Dance

I personally just love the show So You Think You Can Dance or SYTYCD for short and have been watching it since I was eight years old and now I'm 19 so that's a long time to really love a show.  So I'm going to cherry pick some of my favorite routines from all the past seasons and explain what I loved about each. I hope you enjoy it!

10. Donyelle & Benji Broadway- Season 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlJo8QSScIc
Everything about this dance is just so much fun! Watching Benji in his zone just having the time of his life.














9. Travis and Heidi- Calling You (Contemporary) Season 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38XIFZLlIiM This is a very intense dance emotionally it tugs on my heart strings every time I see it. It's choreographed by Mia Michaels and the way she does choreo it always has that touching beautiful story too it. There is always a meaning to work and I think that it shows a softness but also strong side to her as well.











8. Neil and Danny- Are you the one? Season 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ2aUMeMaH0
Oh my gosh the power between these two were crazy and that's what I loved about the strength that was shown was out of this world. Very dark but very sexy as well watching Neil and Danny fight as princes till one of them becomes king. A interesting and fun idea to create a dance to that's for sure!














7. Chehon & Witney- I Will Always Love You- Season 9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlPaHO4JCFo   This routine gave me chills because I thought it was that good. Chehon is one hell of a Ballet/Contemporary dancer who's leaps and jumps seem to go on forever and his lifts create such a seamless look to the dance.















6. Caitlynn and Pasha- Samba Season 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHYEespjZT0
What can I say Pasha makes Latin Ballroom look so much fun! His turns and how he holds himself while he dances is just raw talent.














5. Dmitry - Solo (Pump It) Season 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlBX6nGdmsM
Well I mean I don't have much to say about Dmitry but damn please move your hips like that towards me ;) just joking anyways he is amazing at what he does. He sure kills Latin Ballroom.















4. Lauren and Dominic/D-trix Hip Hop- Season 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBWtJ0xbe78
Now I picked this one because I love Dominic I think he is a great b-boy but he really showed on his season that you can give him choreo and he will learn it and do it perfectly that shows real talent to be able to do that. Pairing up Lauren and Dominic I think was a great choice because the story they are suppose to show an abusive relationship and by the end of the dance Lauren escapes and is free and both of them did a great job at putting expression on their faces to show the emotions they were portraying.











3.  Mark and Chelsie - Bleeding Love- Season 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls8lBGod5Oc

The moment I saw this routine I fell in love with it because it was such a beautiful story to show through dance. A relationship where one cares so much about work he forgets and looses that special bond with his significant other. Once again the choreography done by NappyTabs
(look them up!) is amazing and they became on of my favorite choreography's on the show.






2. Katee and Twitch - Mercy (Door Dance) Season 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhrxfHCtMJA This routine I became a fan of twitch because of the way they both went at each other it really portrayed how in a relationship one person just can't let go and keeps coming back but finally in the end it's over. It's a very fun routine to watch as well.














1. Ramalama Bang Bang ( Zombie Dance ) Season 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPzcsdlOB7g  I loved this routine because of the darkness of them being Zombies but also love the hard work as dancers to have to move their bodies in that sort of contorted kind of way it showed great determination. Also loved watching Travis in this season!
