Loving SYTYCD, but wondering--last year there were so many dances that I just LOVED, that really stuck in my brain (and that I downloaded the music for!). Is it just that we haven't hit the top ten yet, and those dances are yet to come? Or was I just overly wowed last year since it was the first time I saw the show? Or are the dances less exciting so far this year?

It's not your imagination. The only dance that has been memorable to me is Hok and Jamie's hummingbird/flower dance. And (I think) the dances I remember from previous seasons were mostly before the Top Ten: Allison and Ivan's tango, the Fall Out Boy marionette number, much of Benji and Donyelle's stuff, etc.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This season, I thought Kameron/Lacey's first dance (Mia) was very good. I also liked Danny & Anya's Tyce (I think?) dance. Wade's hummingbird/flower dance was aces.

The California swing (Sara/Pasha) was pretty good, but didn't feel *tight* in some places.

But, I agree, I really thought last year had more memorable dances.
