Last night’s review of the best dances of five seasons of So You Think You Can Dance was a glorious moment in several weeks of primarily tv show re-runs.
After a recounting of performances of the first five seasons, the highlight of the evening came when Executive Producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe selected his favorite all-time dance.
Lythgoe’s choice was likely no surprise to SYTYCD fans who during the past season watched Lythgoe and the show’s other judges marvel over a contemporary routine performed by Melissa Sandvig and Ade Obayomi to Kate Bush’s, “This Woman’s Work.”
Choreographer of the dance Tyce Diorio explained on the evening that the dance was originally performed, “I just felt compelled to talk about breast cancer and a friend who was faced with it.”
The dancers exhibited every emotion of battling the disease – and on that evening the performance had brought both judges and the audience to tears.
The evening of So You Think You Can Dance’s top performances not only was an enjoyable journey through five seasons of incredible dances, including several Emmy-nominated routines – but it served as a gentle reminder to watch the coming new season of SYTYCD which begins at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9.
