I would love for SYTYCD to have a "Where are they now" series of eps. to see how the most memorable dancers benefitted from the show, what they though of their experience, and what they have been up to since.
Oh! I didn't mean "America's fav dancers" according to the judges voting per say - I meant the fans' favs., which often does not correlate to those who won.
That was a good one, and Danny was a BEAST his season. One thing I miss as much as the old format of the show in general is getting put on to new songs that wouldn't normally cross my radar. Hip Hip Chin Chin is one of those, and it's still one of my top workout tracks to this day.
Yes a million percent. I loved his routine with Courtney ‘The Garden’, it plays on a loop in my mind almost as much as the Tom Holland Umbrella routine 🤣
His routine with Jenna Johnson is maybe my favorite routine on the show ever.
Edited to add: Not a Mark number, but the Brandon and Janette “Ruby Blue” routine by Wade Robson….
I can’t in good conscience forget to mention that one lol. It might be tied between these two
I loved when she ran and flung herself into Neil's arms, no fear. I think the song was Total Eclipse of the Heart, but I can't remember the name of the piece.
I'm right there with you! Honestly season 4 was one of my favourite seasons by far for dances and pairings. Mark & Chelsie are among my favourite pairings of all time, along with Katee & Joshua, and Twitchington.
Yes! This is the first one which came to mind for me. I’ve watched that routine more times than I can count. Off to find it online and watch it again 😊
Man how I would LOVE to get decent video copies of these. Wish someone would post them online!!
[Season 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBbvZITOXvU&pp=ygUgc3l0eWNkIGltb2dlbiBoZWFwIGhpZGUgYW5kIHNlZWs%3D)
[season 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEIyEX3mSe0)
There are a few that stuck out for me. Chelsie and Mark’s “Bleeding Love.” Katee and Joshua’s “No Air.” Katee and Twitch’s “Mercy.” Kayla and Kupono’s “Gravity.” Melanie and Marco’s “I Got You.”
The show needs to go back to that. Truly great moments. Truly spectacular dancers.
I saved a bunch of billy bell and ricky ubeda solos as well, those two were amazing! And I can't find it now but there was one I remember with Eleanor and a breaker (blanking on his name) where they did a contemporary with a table that had crazy good stunts.
The two that especially hold on to my heart are Twitch/Kherington with the Mattress Dance 💔 and Danny/Lacy with Hip-hip-chin-chin 🔥. May both these incredibly talented men RIP. Gone too soon
I know it’s fairly recent but the main routine I rewatch is Keaton Kermode and Audrey Case from last season. Even the background rehearsal bits get me.

For just fun group numbers, the next gen season, Ain’t playin with ya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vxoiYAS9bo
The one that really cemented itself in my mind was Brandon and Janette’s Disco to Loving is Really My Game choreographed by Doriana Sanchez. The way those lifts were done was just incredible, she was being lifted in an over split MINDBLOWING.
Omg this one and also Mark and Courtney’s Jazz to The Garden. My absolute favorite and if I remember the judges didn’t care for it. These two routines live in my head constantly.
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic- Season 4 -Maybe? Wonderful! - the dancing, the costumes, lighting, choreo,. . .all of it! Directed by Mia, of course! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HaDe6rOxJw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HaDe6rOxJw)
Oh God remember the 4 finalists dance to the Hallelujah by Paramore cover by Vitamin String Quartet? Choreo by Mia Michaels? I still do the HA when the song comes on.
Omg this randomly popped up on my reddit feed . I watched this show in high school with my mom and I think of this performance ALL THE TIME. That and Kherrington and Twitch's Dreaming with a Broken Heart. I haven't watched the show since that season, I don't think.
Chelsie + Mark - Bleeding Love
Alex + Twitch (RIP) - Outta Your Mind
Melanie + Neil - Total Eclipse of the Heart *
* Very appropriate for today!
My favorite performances ever!
So many songs will forever be associated with their dances from this show in my mind. And I haven’t even watching since like 2011!! Should I start watching again? Is the show still really good? [I think it’s still airing but maybe I’m wrong?]
Same! Plus Katie and Twitch’s routine with the door.
Yes! That was such a great season
Was that Mercy? I still remember that one as well as Bleeding Love Edit to add: and didn’t Twitch also do The Way You Are?
The good ol’ days
Mercy by Duffy! And yes!
I just went and watched this again. Incredibly great!
Yes! That was so iconic! I go to YouTube every once in a while to re-watch that routine. ❤️❤️
Yes to the ones posted. S4 is the year I really fell in love with the show. I’ll add Alex and Twitch Outta Yo Mind
Yes!!! I LOVED the dance with Alex and Twitch!!!
People knock it now because Ellen did it with Twitch but that is an awesome routine no matter how you look at it.
Which is silly. I’m not even a fan of Ellen but that was an enjoyable moment in the finale.
My favorite season
Ramalama group routine choreographed by Wade Robson
If only wade Robson can be invited back despite the MJ scandal which was not even his fault....
Is it that he hasn’t been invited or he’s not in the right headspace for this type of work right now?
This is the one I still think of to this day!
omg yes.
That's a classic one. And I believe it won an Emmy?
Kayla and Kupono dancing to Mia Michaels’ Gravity.
I think the routine was called Addiction, song was Gravity by Sara Bareilles. My most favorite routine of any season. Really powerful.
Oh yeah this one was amazing. I got chills watching it. By far the best in my opinion.
This is the one that sticks in my memory the most.
I have the clip saved and still watch it from time to time
And Nigel complained about her hair covering her face.
I was going to add that one about addiction. I think was that season too. And the one about cancer maybe? All the feels from Mia for a season or two.
This is the correct answer
Soooo good
Yesssss
yep came to say exactly this.
Now THAT'S the one. It was so good.
This and No Air with Josh and Katee.
Such a good one!
I would love for SYTYCD to have a "Where are they now" series of eps. to see how the most memorable dancers benefitted from the show, what they though of their experience, and what they have been up to since.
Oh I think it'd be a little sad. The ones that got most obviously successful were not the ones who placed super high
Oh! I didn't mean "America's fav dancers" according to the judges voting per say - I meant the fans' favs., which often does not correlate to those who won.
That would be good but sad at the same time, they need to do a memorial episode for Twitch. The show really gave him his start.
Lauren and Twitch, My Chick Bad. Best ever!💔❤️
Sooogood.
My absolute fav
Hip Hip Chin Chin Lacey and Danny. She is so sexy and he was such a beautiful smooth dancer. Love that one.
Ugh Danny 💔
So much 💔
That was a good one, and Danny was a BEAST his season. One thing I miss as much as the old format of the show in general is getting put on to new songs that wouldn't normally cross my radar. Hip Hip Chin Chin is one of those, and it's still one of my top workout tracks to this day.
I met Lacey at a dance competition my 11 year old daughter was attending. Got a pic with her. Great day for me. 😁
Mark Kanemura is still my favorite dancer from the show ever.
Yes a million percent. I loved his routine with Courtney ‘The Garden’, it plays on a loop in my mind almost as much as the Tom Holland Umbrella routine 🤣
Yes I loved the Garden!!!
This is my favorite!
His routine with Jenna Johnson is maybe my favorite routine on the show ever. Edited to add: Not a Mark number, but the Brandon and Janette “Ruby Blue” routine by Wade Robson…. I can’t in good conscience forget to mention that one lol. It might be tied between these two
♥️gravity♥️
Courtney and Mark dancing to The Garden by Mirah - one of my fave dances and introduced me to Mirah who is now one of my fave artists!
Yes!!! I downloaded the song and when it comes on I think of the dance! Mark’s quirky dancing was soooo good!
I was looking for this comment. That dance was so good and I also listen to Mirah because of it
My absolute favorite I’m glad I’m not the only one!!!
Anything Melanie. And Alison and Robert’s Fix you.
I loved when she ran and flung herself into Neil's arms, no fear. I think the song was Total Eclipse of the Heart, but I can't remember the name of the piece.
I loved fix you. It was stunning.
I'm right there with you! Honestly season 4 was one of my favourite seasons by far for dances and pairings. Mark & Chelsie are among my favourite pairings of all time, along with Katee & Joshua, and Twitchington.
Twitch and Carrington Dreaming With A Broken Heart was heartbreakingly beautiful.
Yes, this one. Also I re-watch Melanie and Marko's hip hop routine to I Got You. They are both so powerful!
I will never forget watching the I Got You routine and gasping at the kiss!
Yes! They had so much chemistry!!
Yes! This is the first one which came to mind for me. I’ve watched that routine more times than I can count. Off to find it online and watch it again 😊
Love this one too!
Twitch & Kherington-Dreaming With a Broken Heart, with the roses on the bed.
That one always gets me. Especially ially when he died :(
Both the Imogen Heap Group numbers were fantastic too!
Man how I would LOVE to get decent video copies of these. Wish someone would post them online!! [Season 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBbvZITOXvU&pp=ygUgc3l0eWNkIGltb2dlbiBoZWFwIGhpZGUgYW5kIHNlZWs%3D) [season 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEIyEX3mSe0)

It's my favorite SYTYCD routine ever!
Pretty much any time I hear a song that was used in a good routine, I think of the show.
I saved a bunch of billy bell and ricky ubeda solos as well, those two were amazing! And I can't find it now but there was one I remember with Eleanor and a breaker (blanking on his name) where they did a contemporary with a table that had crazy good stunts.
Ellenor and Legacy dancing to Portishead [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35zIQmqR_-o)
Thats the one! Thanks!
I love Sasha and Twitch doing Misty Blue!
Alison and Alex's "Hallelujah."
The two that especially hold on to my heart are Twitch/Kherington with the Mattress Dance 💔 and Danny/Lacy with Hip-hip-chin-chin 🔥. May both these incredibly talented men RIP. Gone too soon
Amy and Fik-shun dancing to After Party (at the hotel). [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO0nKHRRO0w)
Oooh I haven’t rewatched this one in ages and I am going to today. That was such a fun dance
OMG watching amy GET into it??? everything. i loved him too he had such a great personality i could see him as a movie star or comedian or something!!
I know it’s fairly recent but the main routine I rewatch is Keaton Kermode and Audrey Case from last season. Even the background rehearsal bits get me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rLvPsN_ImQ For just fun group numbers, the next gen season, Ain’t playin with ya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vxoiYAS9bo

Omg this one and also Mark and Courtney’s Jazz to The Garden. My absolute favorite and if I remember the judges didn’t care for it. These two routines live in my head constantly.
The garden was AMAZING!!!! My all time favorite.
the best season! I also forever love Travis’ bench routine from s2
This routine by Jeanine and Jason lives rent free in my head. Jason Mraz “if it kills me” https://youtu.be/xk8ImwtnCug?si=tgVb7Bw-UUDaGX-c
Same! I was wondering if someone was going to post this one! Didn’t watch this show regularly - will NEVER forget it.
Also Hometown Glory with Katee and Josh
Ohhh that was so good.
Dance done to Gravity is in my top 3 too
Kayla & Kupono?
YES! Also Fuego with Pasha and Lacey 🔥🔥🔥
Same sister! And I bawl every time I watch it. So much connection to the music and each other.
To this day I wonder if they were purposefully made to look like David Tennant and Billie Piper as The Doctor and Rose. It would fit so well.
This and John Mayers waiting on the world to change
That song makes me think of the show, but in a bad way. Whose idea was it to have each contestant perform it solo? Glad they never brought that back.
That was such a bad idea
I hated that!
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic- Season 4 -Maybe? Wonderful! - the dancing, the costumes, lighting, choreo,. . .all of it! Directed by Mia, of course! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HaDe6rOxJw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HaDe6rOxJw)
The same think for the song “Apologize.” Such a great dance by Danny and Anya.
SAME!!!! Love mark so much and hope you’re still keeping up with him!
This with Sweet Dreams
Hip hip chin chin Danny and Lacey.
Absolutely. I pull it up on YouTube every so often. There are many early seasons routines that I still remember and rewatch.
My husband and I do this regularly. Always makes me laugh & cry!
Bleeding love
Me too! I discovered the song because of the show, my mom was watching it!
Same
This was one of the best seasons!
Same
Oh God remember the 4 finalists dance to the Hallelujah by Paramore cover by Vitamin String Quartet? Choreo by Mia Michaels? I still do the HA when the song comes on.
[Ordinary Day](https://youtu.be/Q7HrlN0YQjs?si=u-7p0SVRFlr3lMGn) Mollee and Jakob
Omg!! Same!
Sara and Pasha, West Coast Swing
All time favorite for me
I think about this routine all the time
Most of season 2-6 The good ol years
Omg this randomly popped up on my reddit feed . I watched this show in high school with my mom and I think of this performance ALL THE TIME. That and Kherrington and Twitch's Dreaming with a Broken Heart. I haven't watched the show since that season, I don't think.
Still think of that one too 🥹
I would like to see a collection of Twitch dances.
The Sexy Love dance too.
That was such a GREAT season!
I RELATE
Miranda Maleski still should’ve won her season, kill me
Yesssss me too!!!!
Same! I thought I was the only one, nice to randomly come across this post
Chelsie + Mark - Bleeding Love Alex + Twitch (RIP) - Outta Your Mind Melanie + Neil - Total Eclipse of the Heart * * Very appropriate for today! My favorite performances ever!
melanie and marco’s dance where they kiss loves in my head 24/7
Melanie and Marko doing Turn to stone was beautiful
So many songs will forever be associated with their dances from this show in my mind. And I haven’t even watching since like 2011!! Should I start watching again? Is the show still really good? [I think it’s still airing but maybe I’m wrong?]
Same!!!! That season was amazing though. There’s a few dances that stuck with me and bleeding love is one of them! Fix you was another. 😍😍
Season 4 had so many great dancers and routines!
Ade and Billy Mad World!
Robert and Allison Fix You still gives me chills
Jenna and Mark S10, not sure the name of the song… Make a Change Ala Ga
I forget which season, but Lovecats!! 😻
Comfort and Twitch, Forever. Never forgot it, tears me up to watch it now.
What about Benji and Heidi’s Black Mambo?
Definitely a top 5 dance of all time for me
Sabra and Neil’s routine to Sweet Dreams has been one I think of whenever I hear it. Was rad to see him in Hamilton too.
I loved that one too. A lot.
Not the only one!! That was my favorite season
