I am so happy to see Derek getting the recognition for this. It is probably my favorite of all the seasons. I have it saved on the DVR and watch it often!
this is actually my least favorite dance of dereks 🙁 maybe ever. but derek is a genius so i’m happy for him to be getting recognition, mark as well has great talent that doesn’t get recognized as often as it should
That’s your least favorite dance of Derek’s “ever”??? It’s one of the best he’s ever done and it should have gotten an Emmy nomination. Amazing.
Ditto to Miss Heidi! It’s one of my favorites!
Huge congratulations to Mark and Derek for these nominations!
I will add a Congratulations to Mandy Moore for Strictly. I loved Rain, brilliant, simple concept but cleanly delivered and the dancing was good in that too. I loved the fusion of Here comes the Rain again and Umbrella
Agreed. A powerful and memorable performance, loved the Musical fusion, well deserved nomination.
Yup it is. I love his choreography 99.9% of the time, but I’ve never enjoyed this one can’t put my finger on it.
Love that Macy’s dance. There is so much happening and I think that’s one of Derek’s biggest strengths is bringing all of these elements together without it looking over the top. I also absolutely loved the Flamenco/Paso, also from Season 18, starring Derek, Artem and was it Jonathan?
It was Derek, Artem and Henry with support from Sasha and someone else.
This dance was Derek and Chris Scott, who I also love. I loved this dance for exactly what it was billed as – Classic Hollywood production. Just huge and beautiful. And I have a straight girl crush on the female lead who is also Chris Scott’s girlfriend (and an exact match for Derek’s type)….Jessica Lee Keller?? I think that was her name. I get all those brunettes that Derek loves dancing with mixed up. 😉
I think the macys dance from season 18 had Kathryn mccormick in it too
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!! To Derek & Mark for their 2015 choreography nomination and hoping they win!!!
Yeah, Kathryn McCormick was in the shirtless male flamenco/paso that Derek choreographed alone. She’s an amazing dancer as well. That one is under rated, if only for the fact that they used a lot of slow motion camera work. That has to be VERY hard to choreograph around.
