Top 8 'So You Think You Can Dance' Performances To Give You Chills

Fox.com

"So You Think You Can Dance" is a one-stop-shop kind of show when it comes to dance. Watch one episode and you may laugh with a funky routine, cry from a lyrical number, get swept away with ballroom and find yourself dancing on your couch along with exiting hip-hop choreography. Click through below to see some of the best moments from over the years.

1. "Battlefield" – Jeanine and Brandon (Season 5)

These dancers SLAYED. Was anyone really surprised when Jeanine Mason walked away form this season as the winner?

2. "This Woman’s Work" – Melissa and Ade (Season 5)

Tyce Diorio’s piece about breast cancer will have you saying, “I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying!”

3. "Mercy" – Twitch and Katee (Season 4)

This one was created by kind of a legend. What can Mia Michaels not do? Katee and Twitch combine for amazing chemistry in this love-makes-you-crazy story. If you’re going through something that makes you want to “beg for mercy” maybe think twice before swinging on a door, these are professionals after all!

4. "Vow" – Jessica and Ricky (Season 11)

You will feel as though you’re actually underwater while watching Sonya Tayeh’s choreography come to life. Are they dancers or mermaids? You know something special is happening when the audience is quiet.

5. "Go Stupid" – Whitney and Twitch (Season 9)

Keep in mind, Whitney is a BALLROOM DANCER. Let that sink in.

6. "Calling You" – Travis and Heidi (Season 2)

Affectionately referred to as “the bench dance”, another Mia Michaels piece that will make your heart beat fast.

7. "Bleeding Love" – Mark and Chelsie (Season 4)

You’ll want to rip your hair or your heart out, or maybe both as you watch this emotion-infused dance. Choreographing dynamic duo (who happen to be husband and wife) Tabitha and Napolean (later refereed to as “Nappy Tabs”) made their bold entrance to the show in this season, and they came to stay. P.S. if you want a fix of major cuteness check out their Instagram for pics and videos of their little one.

8. "My Chick Bad" – Lauren and Twitch (Season 7)

WHAT EVEN IS THIS MAGIC? Twitch came in as an “all star” and obviously Lauren was the only possible winner this round of the show.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
