Watching these makes me once again loathe the camera work on a lot of this. Allison and Ivan did not need that shaky seasick camera work to punch up the routine at all.

What ever happened to one long continuous shot? Or a few closeups when events warrant? I know the difficulties of shooting a ‘live’ show, but damn it.

The Katee and Josh dance #4 was what locked me in as a fan of the show. Plus I still tear up watching it and think the the dance every time I hear the song somewhere. It was just terrific. I was never that impressed with Comfort. She just seemed like she was at a lower level and couldn’t quite play up to the others every time she danced.

This just reminds me of how much I like some of the more specific niches like House and Dance Hall more than some of the more generic hip-hop. I think the Lisa/Vincent ragdoll routine suffered because of the music it was set to.

I liked the S1 Australia “Bollywood” Hip-Hop routine that Kate/Graeme did, too. So many of the routines that were deserving of the judges complaining that season, and I thought that one was pretty creative and catchy, and not horrible.

#12 I love how gender is totally irrelevant to this dance. You can mistake Tabitha for a small guy and it looses nothing at all.

#8 Both dancers do a really amazing job here. I’d forgotten how good this routine was.

#3 I just love Allison’s expression through this.

Since it’s the thing to do with lists, I’ll note that you left out my favorite SYTYCD hip-hop routine – Chelsie and Mark, “Bleeding Love”, US season 4.

I don’t know why I’ve only commented on dances from the US version, possibly it’s that I have more to say seeing a dance for the second time. Wish I could see the other versions of the show, it’s nice to see these samples.

See, that’s one of my least favorites, because it’s a key example of Tabitha and Napoleon trying to make a routine work with melodrama rather than good technique. Chelsie just isn’t a very strong hip-hop dancer and the routine centres on her.

Wow. Did the guy in the #1 video just do the worm *on his back*? I love watching hip-hop dancing in general, so- thanks for this!
