byoffer 15808 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-09-08, 04:02 PM (EST) "SYTYCD-C - Choreography" Now that the show is over, let's talk about the choreography. From wiki we can see who did all the choreography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_You_Think_You_Can_Dance_Canada Personally, I think that the choreography has a lot to do with who goes hom. Observations - Benji Schwimmer choreoed 4 routines, and 2 led to bottom 3 and the other 2 to eliminations (including Arassay!). - Luther Brown choreoed 5 routines. Nico and Arassay were safe with him (Nico was safe with EVERYONE), but all the rest lead to bottom groups or eliminations (Joey and Tamina, and Izaak) - Melissa Williams - total of 8 routines. the first 5 routines she choreoed were all safe. Week 6 she had routines, and one was part of Izaak's boot. Her last routine was the go-go mess that almost assured a male victory. - Paul Becker - 4 routines, and all safe (only one that had any bad was the Capoeira that Miles didn't win but Nico won the whole show). I guess it is an unwritten rule on these shows to applaud the choreographers every.single.time, but I think that the choreo (and style represented by each) has a huge impact on the show. Thoughts?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I always feel bad if they get a really crappy routine to do...as it really does put the dancers in jeopardy. I still recall the bed one that had the dancers jumping over the bed and such...well it was Issak..but I think it was also the choreography that really sucked. Benji's...if I recall. I think that bad choreography is really hard to rise above and usually the disco and the hip hop are the killers...but as our boy Nico showed...if you have the moves, even disco is appealing! LOL...

"RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" I guess you are counting Melissa'a choreo that got Izaak the boot a check mark in the success column? And Mr. Qwerty still contends the go-go number was an instant classic. *rolls eyes*   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" Maybe I am losing something, but despite having cute girls in high boots, that go-go number was a disaster. DW said that she felt the routine was too cheerleader for a dance competition. Interesting from her, as she is an ex-cheerleader and dancer! During auditions the judges will often say that a routine is "too cheerleader" or "too talent show". I can't put a finger on what the differences are, but certainly get a feeling when something is off. Too bad that during the final competition show there was a routine choreoed that way!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

trigirl 2844 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 12-10-08, 10:41 AM (EST) 4. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" I think this is a great thread. The judges always say 'blah, blah, blah' about the choreography but sometimes it is just bad. The Lindy Hop anyone? Did they do a bad job or did Benjii screw up on that one? I really, really disliked Tre's step routine. My fave of the season is probably Stacey Tookey. Really love, love, love her stuff. Nico and Allie in the finale to "Permanent" - Amazing! Vincent and Natalii's "Happy Ending" - Gorgeous! Other faves are Sean Cheeseman's afro jazz and almost all of Melissa Williams' stuff. Same with Gustavo Vargas. bouncey by Ice   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

qwertypie 9721 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-10-08, 02:54 PM (EST) 5. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" IMHO Benji dropped a huge stink bumb with that one. I wonder how much latitude the choreographers are given? That story line svcked bobo.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

aethelstan 4348 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 12-11-08, 04:35 PM (EST) 6. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" Overall, there were a number of choreographies that I liked but few that were as memorable as those in the US show. This is unusual because given that the population difference are 9-to-1, you would think that a SYTYCD North America would have that same ratio. Yet, I think that 7 or 8 dancers from the Canadian show would not be out of place at all in this year's top 20 of the American show. Back to the dancing, I thought that Canada did a much better job of showing a far greater variety of dances than in the US. In terms of choreographies, the biggest differences for me were the hip hop numbers. There were a number of outstanding hip hop numbers in the US show yet, overall, in the Canadian show, they were just dances without stories whereas the US hip hop numbers told stories and connected with the audience. For me, Paul Decker could be dropped from the list of choreographers without anyone shedding a tear. The crocodile rock number was awful. The two African Jazz numbers were among the best of the season. Canada also benefited from having two ballroom boys that could properly lead during the ballroom/latin numbers. The go-go all girl number wasn't great but better than the US broadway number which was dreadful. What else? Cat Deeley is way, way better than Leah Miller. The judges, well, in both shows they are a little tedious at times. There was something else I was going to add but I can't for the life of me remember. Oh well, later, perhaps.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

qwertypie 9721 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-12-08, 05:42 PM (EST) 7. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" I agree with you whole heartedly! Having JMG as the main judge help get the ballroom/latin dancers in the top 20. There seems to be an anti-ballroom bias in the American version.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

trigirl 2844 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 12-15-08, 11:13 AM (EST) 8. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" I agree. The show features so much ballroom dances, it was such a pleasure to Danny and Francis do justice to the numbers.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-06-09, 10:03 AM (EST) 9. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" A SYTYCD Canada choreography thread and nobody has yet mentioned Blake effin McGrath? Oh the horror. *dramatically place back of hand on forehead* Nico & Arassay's "Let Me Leave" This routine and all the talk after is what made me fall for Nico. I was ecstatic to see Blake's choreo and he didn't disappoint. Izaak & Kaitlyn's "Breaking Dishes" was fun fun fun. Nico & Lisa's Jazz-Funk Hott. Sexy. Fun. Holy crap. The "I Surrender" group routine was one of the best group routines I have ever seen. It was stunning. "TheFace" was beautiful and emotional. Blake is a genius. Paul Becker is hit or miss for me. His "Crocodile Rock" was perhaps the worst routine I have ever seen in my life and I have no idea how Joey and Tamina escaped elimination (not to mention, I didn't like her at all). But his "It's A Man's Man's Man's World " was brilliant. I enjoyed Stacey Tookey. I missed Wade.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

byoffer 15808 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-06-09, 10:47 AM (EST) 10. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" Geez, Glow, a little late to the party? Blake certainly had some excellent routines. The "Let Me Leave" routine was unfortunately overshadowed by the broken nose, but was excellent. But from a purely statistical perspective, he choreoed 4 competitive routines, and 2 lead to bottom and/or elimination. Admittedly, both were for Lisa, who was a great dancer though not vote-getter. The Jazzy Funk was awesome. Question - Dan says that wouldn't have been allowed in the States by the censors. Do you agree?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-06-09, 11:44 AM (EST) 11. "RE: SYTYCD-C - Choreography" heh. Sorry. I could have posted this a week or so ago. The broken nose was uberhot. That's a man. pffft. Statistical schmatistical. They were all pleasing to me and I couldn't vote. Silly Canadians. The statistics are completely skewed by Joey and Tamina's Becker routine anyway. That? was pure crap. Nico oozes sex and creates lustful imagery standing still. Blake's choreography just took that up several notches. I've thought about it every time I've watched it (whether it would have been censored or not, I mean... heh) and I just can't see why it wouldn't have been allowed. So no, I don't agree.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
