SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE USA SEASON 17 // Top 6 & All-Stars / “The Chain" - Fleetwood Mac / Contemporary / Choreography by Mandy Korpinen & Elizabeth Petrin / Top 6 Perform

#1. “You’re the Last Thing on My Mind” (Marko/Koine contemporary), Mandy Korpinen and Elizabeth Petrin

Gonna be honest, when I saw that these were new choreographers and I heard the concept, I thought this was going to be really awkward. This show really broke my trust with brand new choreographers after that whole sexy fish fiasco. Thankfully, this was nothing like that and I hope we see Mandy and Elizabeth back if they have more to offer like this!

This is definitely the most memorable contemporary routine of the season. For once, the props weren’t super distracting and instead added a really cool layer to everything and created some beautiful pictures, like when Marko held Koine up by the waist and her legs were outstretched, and when they both held on to the hanger and swung around. There were a few parts where I was scared Koine would smack her face against the bar up there, and I feel like Marko caught her super late when she went flying off the bar and landed in front of him, but maybe it was supposed to look scary or something lol. 

And do I really have to mention their chemistry? They always look like they’ve been dancing together for years and years, even in the quiet moments when all they do is look at each other. This was just really gorgeous and I loved everything about it and Koine is everything.

(But who leaves lingerie with their ex-boyfriend? Like of all things to accidentally leave behind in the closet? It’s usually like an old t-shirt or a pair of jeans she never wore anyway lmao.)

#7: “You’re the Last Thing on My Mind” (Koine & All-Star Marko, Contemporary) - Mandy Korpinen & Elizabeth Petrin

I’m surprised the producers allowed Koine and Marko to have this dance, given that they were obviously being bussed the two weeks before this. They must have won the producers over somehow, and thank goodness they did, because this piece is beautiful. I hope Mandy and Elizabeth become regular choreographers on the show, because their choreography was fresh and heartfelt -- something that has been missing with Mandy Moore and Travis being the resident Contemporary choreographers each week. I love the cutaway of Marko looking at the dress on the hanger, then looking away, then looking back to see Koine in it. It’s such a brilliant sequence. All of the work on the hanger afterward on the hanger is also so beautiful and intricate. It must have taken so much strength to stay up like that, but Koine made it look effortless and graceful. I also love how he rips the dress off of her as she flips over the bar and disappears. The shot of him holding the dress alone is just so piercing. I’m so glad that these two got this piece. They were the perfect pair for this dance.
