While SYTYCD is a great platform for choreographers to increase their profile and have their work seen, there are a number of restrictions placed on choreographers including style and song. The creative team have a very strong opinion on what they want and this doesn’t always wash to well with potential choreographers. One amazing international choreographer recently turned down the offer to choreograph on the show due to the producers wanting a contemporary piece choreographed to a hip hop song that was chosen by them not the choreographer. This makes me think when do you compromise who you are as a choreographer to increase your profile and get your work out there?
