Ellenore and Ryan- Contemporary.

[OnTheScene24]

omg i met ellenore last weekend and she signed my shirt!!!!! she showed us how to dance omg omg omg!!!!!!!!

[MsShipsintheNight]

ellenore looks stunning now if the dance was just a little longer.....

[DaisyLeexxx]

I do like this dance and the woman was brilliant technically but i dont think the dance was as strong as it could have been, this was probably due to how short it was (which i know they had no control over) but also i think the moves didnt fit with the beats as well as they could have done because of lodes of lifts.

over all i think it was good but if you agree with me you should check out this different dance to the same song and see what you think: type in katieshmate - ex-lover. :)

[joker80james]

@DaisyLeexxx you also have to keep in mind that the choreography was altered from it original point because the guy ryan isnt a contemporary dancer, he's a ballroom dancer.

[jiraya350]

@DaisyLeexxx I think it did fit the music perfectly. I mean, I love quick, sharp movements for every beat in the music as much as the next person. But that's not always the effect the choreographer is going for.

And I'm a frequent watcher of Katieshmatee's videos, she's great :)

[danceannie95]

What song is that? (:

[LuminousFaery]

@danceannie95 It's "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars -- the most wonderful band in existence.

[souleaterlover11]

Travis Wall is a God in my book.

[jaydhagberg]

am I the only one who see's ryan grabbing his crotch at 1:22?

[121meh]

that was one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.

[EffervescentMelody]

That is the best song to do a contemporary dance to ever, I swear<33

[bundy2222]

amazing, looks like collide

[breakxXxdance]

kat sounds like a creeper when she says "well done"

[chinadaddy500]

Really Russell can dance better? y'all really think that get the hell out of here the voters most of been restarted i mean good and everything but he not good er then her y'all need to do that again Really

[RayatoTV]

this song is so fuckin good it took me a few views to focus on the dancing. Which is SPECTACULAR!

[rebeccalafferty]

ugh. so. good.

[Katw76]

Her lines are immaculate, I could watch her all day.....

[missamyv]

I am just sobbing :'-( They are sooooo amazing!

and I herd this song on Degrassi!!!!! makes it even more special <3

[shorty519]

shit gets real at 1:28

[bmylove4444]

I love that dress!!!

[vondada]

Very nice dance, but they MURDERED that song.

[joker80james]

Why wasnt there a tour for season 6?

[ballerinabreakdancer]

@joker80james it was combined with season 7 cuuz season 6 was the only season that didnt occur during the summer it had started in the fall and came shortly after season 5 by a month or 2

[joker80james]

@ballerinabreakdancer but only Kathryn and Russle was on the tour =/ would have iked to see some more dancers fromseason 6 on a tour

[Eight13]

This is incredible.

[Ashles1991]

Ellenore is still my favorite dancer to ever grace the SYTYCD stage. Everything she did was phenomenal and she had such a unique style that I remember to this day. Her solo to "Beatbox Harmonica" was AWESOME!

[lunahare2200]

@Ashles1991 Ikr? And her vegas solo was phenomenal. Loved it. Like watching her dance in vegas, I was like top 10 at least. To call it that early tells you a little something. Yet another season where it's America's favorite dancer, not America's best dancer

[xIloveRandom]

what's the story behind this choreography?

[smelsma]

@xIloveRandom, the story behind the dance is two ex lovers randomly run into eachother for the first time in years, and when they shake hands, they relive the memories of their past relationship, and at the end of the peice they come out of the handshake knowing they can't be together and walk away from their past.

[joker80james]

@xIloveRandom Ex Lovers who see eachother again years down the road.

[iknowicandance94]

I've watched the first 5 seconds of the dance dozens of times because I can never get over how well Ellenore embraces the cello. it's like she IS the cello! I love it so much!

[mmhmm2121]

all of the leaps and jumps in this dance are beyond me

[Dyamondross]

One of my favs

[whitedronnie]

as a dance, sure that was good. but they completely failed to capture the delicacy of the piece.

[Simonik17]

Travis can do no wrong. To think I was worried about the contemporary routines on season 6 because Mia was not a part of it. Silly.

[alexisrg7]

@Simonik17 Travis is amazing, but I still want Mia back!

[Dtiger44]

i love the lifts in this dance

[doctorlolka007]

I know, the choreographie is great and she is a magnificant dancer, but I couldn't take my eyes of him, thinking all the time about how hot he is!!!

[1234danceforlife1234]

Dylanwillson1991

HAHA! I SAW THAT! :P

[dylanwilson1991]

haha at 1:23 Ryan grabs his crotch for a long time!! thumbs up if you think its HOTTTTT!!!!!

[pillowfreak22]

LMAO @ Cat's voice in the begining

[VesperReece]

creepy "well done" ended this awesome vid haha

[taylorjaynelson]

Travis Wall is well long due for some humanitarin reward. I feel so much emotion when watching his work.

[azl19027]

I feel compelled to say how exquisite that choreog was and how talented the performers were to deliver an extraordinary slice of heaven

[MartyrXY]

Definitely my favorite song by Stars <3



[goodgale]

I stopped watching after elenore left

[mauricebiology]

it's amazing how i only watched this dance a year ago whilst flicking through channels and now... i've trawled through all the seasons of this show on wiki just to track this routine down again. absolutely breathtaking and makes a real emotional impression!

[realfakejan]

Favorite dance of the season. Gripping and emotional , they both were dramatically strong and 1:37 was breathtaking.

[VxKxD]

I love how well they dance together. Ellenore is amazing, I feel bad though becasue so is Ryan, and he doesn't get as much appreciation.

[dancerprancer97]

ellenore is an amazing dancer.i hope i can 1 day dance like her......but its a long and hard journey.!!!!!!!

[goodgale]

@dancerprancer97 Me 2!

[iMusely]

@dinosaursnomnom

The song is called your exs lovers dead

[dinosaursnomnom]

what is this song called?

[ninha5diem]

AMAZING!!!!!

[shoolishja]

1:37 just made my day. what a jump!

[LaDeeDa6]

Did anyone else notice the guy furiously grabbing his junk at 1:23 ??

[CarinaSarabia]

@LaDeeDa6 OMFG you're soo right. Maybe all that jumping around was hurting him. 0.0

[terloin20]

WOOO. They fucking destroyed that song like they took cut it toooo muchhh

[jdlund]

@terloin20, they are only allowed a realy short time limit. Every song is cut really short, unless someone chooses a minute and a half long song. The cut fit the dance perfectly and that's all that mattered. The point isn't to showcase the song but to use the song to showcase the dance.

[screaminPirate]

Ah! I haven't seen this before!! I love ellenore! so glad i found it...

[ICanEatTheClouds]

I stopped watching the show after Ellenore was voted off.

[operrett]

@ICanEatTheClouds Ellenore made it all the way to the finale...fail...

[unusualunique93]

@ICanEatTheClouds me to i hate that they told her that she probably wasnt getting enough votes because shes a good actress and people didnt really know her that well becasue she was acting so well what the f%*k people are idiots shes just doing it properly sorry then maybe she should be a shitty actress so we dont believe it hmmmm that makes more sense stupid judges

[haniaumar]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[GypsyAugury]

Oh gosh. They shortened the /hell/ out of that song. Dx All the intensity was lost.

[unusualunique93]

@GypsyAugury well they had to so they could get the feeling of the story better because it goes from them being together to them breaking up it needed to be quick but the song is beautiful but it needed to be arranged so it could contrast to the song properly

[mneemnee]

Was Travis the choreographer?

[ricevid]

so 1:18 ryan totally grabs his crotch.

[ricevid]

so 1:24 ryan totally grabs his crotch

[gymbaby69]

they ruined the song sorry but i think they shouldnt have messed with the song and i hate the dance it wasnt tht good the how it ends dance was 10 times better then this piece of crap! and did the guy get herepes down there becasue it looks like he has a problem down there!

[MissTornado6]

even though that dance is amazing , i think elenore's dancing is a bit too agressive !

[sheryceb]

cant stop watching!!!!!!!!!!!! freaking awesome song and dance!!!!!!!!!!! :) could have went well with or could go well with Twilight Breaking dawn part 1 for when Jacob stop talking to Bella and run off! what do you guys think!!!!!!

[DesiPanda674]

@sheryceb please die in a fire for bringing up Twigay.

[KristynisKool17]

this is the best video EVER.

[teachdance4life]

this makes me think it's a dance between Clark Kent and Lana Lang ;)

[PYT1978]

wait, Ryan is grabbing himself at 1:23....lol or am I seeing things!

[raj2001]

@PYT1978 I heard that was actually a dance belt malfunction...ouch! lol

[IxAdorexUu]

i really really like the beginning.

[Blazarpod17]

@Nikolovar me too... :)

[Amo0n92]

مااااااااااااااااااااابي ابيييي ارقص نفسهاااااااااااااااااااااااااا­اا

realy love it <3

[RoninWarriorsChick]

Travis Wall is such an amazing choreographer!

[youssra78]

does anyone know what was the story of this dance?

[starmahou]

@youssra78 I'm not too sure so if i'm wrong... humans make mistakes but ellanor meets ryan and falls in love at first sight when she wasn't supposed to for some reason maybe cause her ex-lover's dead? lol

[SallyT88]

@youssra78 Pretty sure it's that those two had dated before and that they ran into each other one day (looks like in a park lol) And the dance I think comes the most from the lyrics "I'm not sorry I met you. I'm not sorry it's over. I'm not sorry there's nothing to say." I think it's just a dance about seeing your ex again and being fine with seeing them but still being happy that relationship is over. It looks like Eleanore's character was over the relationship more than Ryan's was.

[Nikolovar]

I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it

:)

[charles0drake]

who won this season???thanx,,,,

[mikio19]

@charles0drake Russel did :)

[mikio19]

did no one see the grabbing of the balls at 1:22 ?

[gravedirtglitter]

@mikio19 hahahahahahahha

[thenyouliedtome]

OMG. HER LEGS ARE INCREDIBLE

[techdancer96]

OMGGG....her standing leg at 0:58-0:59 doesn't even move as she turnssss. Crazy turnout yo =]]] i wish i was like herrr.

[2kooldancin]

I loved Ellenore...this is such a beautiful dance btwn her and ryan. They just did it effortlessly. However, I thought that Russel winning was no big surprise. he was a great dancer too and a real sweetheart!

[m3lodyproz]

Cat's voice in the front part was LOL

[harlsandivy]

@m3lodyproz haha she sounded like a mixture of cookie monster and kathy griffin

[jiraya350]

I wanted either Jakob or Ellenore to win, maybe even kathryn.

I was so pissed when Russel won...

Anyway, onto this piece, Ellenore is of course as lovely as always, and Ryan also did a very good job. Love the piece.

[16mikamika]

she is such a strong dancer

[SunflowerBreeze]

i look at this piece on a regular basis and it never fails to inspire me.

<3

[MsNicoleisawesome]

Ellenore was TOTALLY robbed! She should've won, for sure

[Kaydubbleyew]

I HATE Wen These Dances End :(

[Kaydubbleyew]

Who Won This Season?

[MsNicoleisawesome]

@Kaydubbleyew Russell

[Kaydubbleyew]

@MsNicoleisawesome OMG Really?

I Wanted Ellenore To Winn.!

[pancakesandramen]

that split was amazing

[lisadalia]

Their acting skills were so remarkable.

[Eungenides]

I feel like this dance is really under appreciated. To me it's better than the addiction piece Kayla Kupono did.

[belladancerella09]

SEAMLESS.

[tytyjohn8]

1:26-1:30 it reminds as if they are painting the sky. It's honestly beautiful. <3

[dwindle96]

beautiful :)

[lilkimo18]

i agree

[dnaceralways]

i think Ellenore should have won

[ebangha]

@dnaceralways hands down she should have won

[dnaceralways]

@ebangha indeed :D

[summergirl722]

@dnaceralways

totally i was sad she didn't even make the finale show...or wait did she?

[dnaceralways]

@summergirl722 yeah she did...i believe she got 2nd?? or 3rd...

[gravedirtglitter]

@dnaceralways me too!!!

[summergirl722]

@dnaceralways

I agree, she didn't even make the finals...i was so mad

[dnaceralways]

@summergirl722 America really got that one wrong in my opinion
