Edit: So I guess I’m ending this now. Notable mentions include Brice Mousset, Amanda Tae and Marinda Davis. (Sorry I couldn’t edit the polls!) Will include these names and the above results when I try and forward this to production somehow! Fingers crossed!
Edit: Polls up for hip hop/jazz and contemporary! I can’t guarantee they’ll get hired, but some publicity wouldn’t hurt right?
Edit: Wow, feedback has been great, keep them coming!
Edit: I think I’ll gather names and then see which ones are the most popular, then weed out the names and make an actual poll for each category so we can see the statistics.

I know ever since Mia resigned, a lot of people have been discussing different choreographers that SYTYCD & Co. should check out and bring in to choreograph, so I decided to make a formalized post to kind of organize all these ideas.

Just post choreographers’ names and styles, and perhaps links to their works, and then I will kind of make a tally as the comments go to see which choreographers are most popular and in-demand, and then send off the results to Nigel or something. Hahaha, discuss away!

We’re not asking for them to be like judges or anything. I just think the show’s main premise is based on introducing dance to the general public, and what better way to do that than introduce new and exciting choreographers!? I would love to see new faces every so often!
