Yes Mia Michaels could be very cruel in her critiques...but she is an awesome choreographer! I love most of her stuff.
Sonya is also an incredible choreographer. I have actually been following her for years-way back before her SYTYCD fame. She was friends with one of my daughter’s dance teachers and choreographed a dance number for the competition team at her dance studio - it consistently got platinum awards at the dance competitions they performed it at. My daughter really loved working with Sonja!
Wow, that is very cool to know. Sonja is my favorite and just from the show, I have learned so much about choreography and I can usually recognize her work before they say it’s her. Travis Wall is amazing too.
My little boy had a hip hop class taught by the brother of one of the contestants, and there were others who came by and taught at that school from SYTYCD, even Twitch! I adore Twitch.
Another dance that I can watch over and over and over is “Outa Your Mind” with Twitch and Alex Wong. I adore them both. That was so mind blowing to see how well a ballet dancer could do hip hop. His injury happened in the next week. It was heartbreaking. He lost his job as a featured ballet dancer and didn’t get to do most of the SYTYCD season. But it doesn’t look like he is hurting for work.
