DWTS Sasha Farber And Emma Slater Choreograph For So You Think You Can Dance, Jenna Johnson And Allison Holker Interviewed
Dancing With The Stars Sasha Farber and Emma Slater choreographed a Jive for Tahani & Jake on “So You Think You Can Dance” last night. You can watch them in rehearsals below and the ending result was on FIRE (Goodness! They are so GOOD! I should be watching this show! 😯 ) You can also watch new interviews with Jenna Johnson, Allison Holker, and tWitch with Kristyn Burtt. Note how Allison says she hopes to be back on Dancing With The Stars this coming season and “that’s the plan” (like in a previous interview). Thanks to @Idolxfactor1 for recording and Kristyn for the fun interviews!
Did idolxfactor record this whole season of SYTYCD or just this one performance? I can’t find it on his/her website.
Has DWTS ever let their pros that are contracted to the show choreograph for SYTYCD before? I don’t count Louis Van Amstel as he wasn’t under contract when he did it and got requested as a partner for Paula Deen. Have to wonder if Emma and Sasha are out of contract on DWTS and been cut loose? Hope I’m way wide of the mark on that one. Strange that someone from DWTS who isn’t Allison or Jenna are allowed to appear on SYTYCD.
I don’t think he did, but tweet him at @idolxfactor1 to see for sure.
Oh I hope not, M8!
@M8 – Mark choreographed one dance on SYTYCD in Season 8 (2011) (and got ripped apart by Nigel). Also, Louis choreographed on SYTYCD in Season 7 which was in between DWTS Seasons 10/11, both of which he was on, so was presumably under contract with DWTS at the time. I’m not sure what this means for Emma and Sasha on DWTS, but I hope they’re back and there is a precedent for DWTS pros working on SYTYCD even if they were never contestants there.
On a side note, I saw the periscope where the kid outed Jenna and Val are dating.
Out of the mouths of babes…
What a cute dance, great job Emma and Sasha.
Loved Jake and Tahani paired together and that Jive was a lot of fun. I hope we will see Emma and Sasha choreograph for the show again.
Also I absolutely loved Jake and Jenna’s duet she choreographed…so cute.
Surprised and happy to see Emma and Sasha choreographing and weren’t Jake and Tahani great?
These kids are just so darn good this season. It’s sad one has to be eliminated every week 🙁 . Honestly after watching last week I thought Ruby was the one to beat but thani is just beyond words good. She is going to be one heck of a dancer as she gets older that’s for sure. And Jake…..I was iffy on him last week but holy cow was this the week where it hit me why he is on the show. This kid is just a ball of energy out there and so fun to watch.
I gasped when I heard Emma and Sasha announced as choreographers for last night’s show. Really happy they had a good reception for their first SYTYCD outing.
Many longtime SYTYCD watchers have checked out this season because of the kids format, which makes me very sad. I think the kids are so talented and that their performances have been on par with the adult seasons. If you’ve never watched, I highly recommend it!
I am rooting, of course for the ballroom kids, particularly Ruby Castro and her All-Star partner Paul Karmiryan (my SYTYCD Season 10 favorite and occassional DWTS trouper).
I watched the first episode and didn’t care for it. But I don’t like young contestants on DWTS either.
I started to watch a couple of other times but ended up turning it off. I know the producers were trying to bring in more viewers but I think they actually lost more than they gained.
With the Ellen D. show on Sunday nights and America’s got talent, I’m kind of overwhelmed with the kiddie talent stuff.
I’m happy for Sasha and Emma and I’m happy for everyone else on this board that likes it. So I wish for all of you a great rest of the season!
Mark has choreographed for SYTYCD, Louis did it while he was still under contract, Dimitry did it while he was on DWTS (I think). So yes, as long as your name isn’t Derek Hough, you can go choreograph on SYTYCD when under contract to DWTS. Nigel straight up said that Derek wasn’t allowed. Depends on the pro, obviously, on whether DWTS will give permission.
Jenna is shining a lot this season. I feel like she is getting the spotlight and shining. Maybe DWTS is watching and will make her a pro next season since she is showing off her potential on sytycd. She can choreograph a bumper really well- I loved the one with Jake.
What do you guys think of Jenna on sytycd this season?
