I love everything about this. So amazingly sad and wonderful. I totally agree with @xXMusicSpeaksXx. I got all teary but I know people who are over in Iraq and Afganistan or have been over so it hits me in a deep place.
this is probably the only piece that ever made me cry. I've teared up for a few of them but this was so touching. Especially the end...I think that was the clincher for me.
When I saw this...that was the first time I have ever watched the show. I have a really soft spot for soldiers and this just breaks my heart... I love the twist at the very end that really took me by surpise. I almost cried.
@themusiclover137 oh! well maybe he isn't, now i'm kinda happy(; but that's what my mom told me when i said "WOAH, he's cute!" on his try out but i guess she might be wrong(:
@italianhannah77 I'm still kinda on the fence about his sexuality. Numerous times he'll point out girls who are hot like during his routine with Clarice but I don't know. This is just a theory but he seems to have a lot of female friends (e.g Ashley) with no mention of a girlfriend. Ugh! SYTYCD ruined my gaydar
I'm over in a different country right now and this reminds me of the goodbye with my boyfriend. Both of us were in tears and he had to pry me off almost the same way.
I remember seeing this when it first aired and being so moved by the dance and then when she was the one going off to service, it blew my mind and I cried my eyes out, just like I am donig now. An amazing dance with an even more profound ending.
@themusiclover137 Well, Robert was all all-star this season on this past week's episode and was talking about how Clarissa was really pretty and not only did he kiss her during their performance, but before they went on stage so...I don't know. It didn't seem like he was gay.
@ronfan350 yeah, i didn't think he was gay, but it confused me when someone said he was. they did really good this week though! haha and they're cute together, too bad she has a boyfriend haha
@themusiclover137 I know she said something about that at the beginning of the week when the guest judge asked her if she had one, but I had totally forgotten about that when she was dancing with Robert. I bet her boyfriend wasn't too happy with that, but it was Robert who kissed her, not the other way around. But I'd feel lucky to have kissed Robert. :P He's pretty attractive.
The work these two performers put into the characters is amazing. . . You can really see how hard it is to say good-bye in both their eyes. I love the twist at the end, it made me cry the frist time I saw this :) Keep dancing!
ohmygosh i love this dance. absolutely amazing. i cant even tell you how many times i have watched this. so inspiring. the ending is fabulous. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did a similar dance to honor the soldiers abroad and at home. We cried back stage to get in character and when we got back to the dressing room afterwords, we just cried and hugged it out. It's the most powerful dance I've ever done!
@SollyDied at the start of the dance, the audience is invited to think that the male is going to war, but near the end, where he picks up the uniform and bag, then she takes it, you realise that SHE is the one going to war.
@lenaax Okay it makes allot more sense now thankyou:) I was just a bit confused at how she seemed so upset by it then in the end she walks off with the bag and jacket. Thanks for the help!
anyone else notice the lift at 44 seconds is kinda shaky and weird? i wonder if it's just poorly choreographed because it wasn't smooth in the tour version either!
@peanutmmss I actually liked that it was kind of shaky and I think that's how it was choreographed. But I don't think kathryn's leg at 0:25 was, haha. Nonetheless, I cried like a baby when I saw this live. Kathryn's one of my fav dancers and this was such a beautiful routine!
Dance is emotion. The first time i watched this dance I was moved to tears finding this clip again i am still moved and still cried thank you for the clip it now rests in my faves.....
This is one of the best pieces SYTYCD has done... People really never think about how many women are as brave as Kathryn's character. Army nurses, marine girls... Anything really. It just makes me so happy that it's not always about the guy. We're all brave.

I absolutely love this dance, the emotion in it and just how beautiful it is. The twist at the end kind of got me choked up. But i kind of agree with the poster who says that it showcases Kathryn more than Robert, and that's a danger with a lot of these performances with All-Stars. It's a double-sided coin. On the one hand, the numbers have generally been better than on previous seasons because even if the competitor is out of their element, they're dancing with a pro at their genre.
I love dances that show real emotion; this is one of them! Kathryn--you are beautiful and a phenomenal dancer! So happy to see you back this past season.
This might be my favorite sytycd dance of all time. It is danced SO well. It just seems like theres a real honest love between them. You can see it in the way he reaches for her. The embrace at 1:00 is incredible, as is their facial expressions at about 1:15.
katie thompson is a goddess. heaven is a place inside her gut that makes those sounds come out so the rest of us can bear witness. the dancing was good, too. :)
Wow Like if you thought it was the guy that going to war!
