"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.
