One of my absolute favorite choreographers for So You Think You Can Dance is Wade Robson. He has created some of the most memorable dance routines on the series. You remember the Zombie Dance from season 2, don’t you? He’s amazing.
In this clip, we get to hear from him and his wife Amanda about how they work together to create a group dance routine for the show. It’s a collaboration between the amazing dance moves, the key concepts of the piece, the costumes, the lighting and the music. They do a great job of explaining the process to us for …read more

This is a great clip from Tabitha & Napoleon D’Umo where they talk about how they worked in collaboration with Dmitry Chaplain to create the group dance for So You Think You Can Dance this week.
They talk about the dance they all created together and about what the dancers need to do to make the audience vote for them each week. It’s very insightful and gives us a bit of a clue about why we love certain dancers. They bring magic to the steps. Cool!

He tells what it’s like to try to do what he did when he was younger, now that he’s nearly 60 years old. I think he’s …read more

Anyone who watches So you Think You Can Dance knows who Mandy Moore is. She’s an amazing choreographer and has created some truly fantastic routines over the past two seasons of the show.
In this clip, she reveals how she went about choreographing the group dance for the Top 6 Dancers. She goes into a little detail about the process she uses and how much of the dance is influenced by the dancers themselves. I think it’s fascinating to find out more about choreography. I hope you agree.

Shane Sparks’ assistant, Rachel tells us how they went about choreographing the group dance featuring the So You Think You Can Dance Top 4 Dancers, but including the entire Top 20.

This is a very interesting clip because Rachel also talks about what it’s like to work with Shane Sparks and she reveals how she first met him and how she finally got to be his assistant. Very …read more
