I am a dancer myself and I couldn't believe how flawlessly they danced that together. It was like their were connected and melted into each other. One of my favorite pieces by Sonya. I wish to meet her one day.
I keep watching the way they mold together not only as dancers but as artist creating a picture throw movement of dance. Cant explain how rare it is to find such beauty in dance these dances but that right there was remarkable. I only wish i could see more from those exact dancers more choreography by Sonja Tayeh. I've followed Melanie's career since SYTYCD and I miss her on youtube like crazy, it makes me sad and happy when I watch someone as talented as that dance pair doing what the love.
The way Will falls @1:38 is my favorite dance move of all time. My heart sinks with his emotion and the naif/fragile look on melanie's face. I love this video sooo much
Everytime I come to rewatch this I have to rewatch it more than one. It just gives you those feels. I'm like those girls on the left during the lift sequence fangirling inside
I learned the same exact combo when she taught it in LA... She gave us choreo, but WIll and Melanie improved inbetween and at the end, adding their own style.
I have never seen anything more beautiful - the sensuality, the intensity, the power is palpable even through the screen. I was literally sobbing through the whole thing.
It'll be kinda hard to tell you every section they improved since she give them the choreo and they added their own twist/timing. You can see the differences from the other videos on her channel of people doing the same routine but with their own spin on it. Make sense? Just search up 'Sonya Tayeh Class at Edge' to see what I'm talking about.However, the main points of improve I can point out are: 1:34-1:38, 1:48-3:15.
The musicality and connection to both each other and the movement in this is everything I've ever wanted to embody as a dancer. This is one of the most powerful pieces I've ever seen.
Oh my God. You can't tell me that lift sequence is improv. That's an insane amount of trust and connection.
2 years later and this still gives me the most chills
First of all the dance was awesome but i just couldn't take my eyes off Sonya jumping around the room like yes that right there is my creation!
RhythmMADE Ehhh no one said she couldn't be proud...
RhythmMADE she was obviously very proud if you didnt see her skipping around the floor.. lmao
justlovinit1213 that was an improvised dance. not choreography.
Wait, like for real?!? With no structure or any rehearsal or prompt beforehand???
Sonya's reactions are about the most adorable things i've ever seen
Melanie Moore is the most captivating dancer on this planet!! Literally brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps......don't forget the goosebumps!!

7 years later and I find myself consistently watching this video. I was 12 the first time I watched. Pure magic
i am still crying over this.
you need to watch this video once looking at the dancers, once looking at sonya's reactions, and once more at the dancers because its so amazing
literally died from perfection. this is everything i imagined in my head when I heard this song.
Legitimately had to pause a minute in because I could not handle their sheer brilliance!

Sonya Tayeh, Melanie Moore, Will Loftis and James Blake... Pure Perfection!!!
The first time a heard this song I thought of Sonya. She choreographs what emotions look like.

I learned the same exact combo when she taught it in LA... She gave us choreo, but WIll and Melanie improved inbetween and at the end, adding their own style.
half- it was based on sonya's choreography but they added to it and made it even more awesome as a demonstration for the class
you can't teach dancing like that. their talent is off the charts
There is no better choreographer in my opinion. She brings out the best in her dancers . The depth of emotion in her work is beautiful to watch
It has been 4 months since ive seen this video..... it is STILL giving me chills up and down my spine
It's no wonder Melanie won her season. She is perfection at it's finest.
I found this again after so many years. I'm crying. This is a blessing to humanity.
Will forever be the most GENIUS piece of work, danced by two GENIUS artists.
sobbing. this is the best thing i've ever seen in my life. even 9 years later. frick.
Nobody does it better than Sonya!!
Two of my favorite humans: Sonya and Melanie...I think I’ve seen this video 100x
8 years later and this is still one of my favorite dance moments...
Anyone else here in 2021 to reminisce?
I have never seen anything more beautiful - the sensuality, the intensity, the power is palpable even through the screen. I was literally sobbing through the whole thing.
When one of your favorite dance styles, songs, dancers, and choreographers, are all in one video! 😍
This.. was crazy.. watching this was like an experience... this performance was beyond beautiful, Bravo and excellent job.
I love how Sonya freely and uninhibitedly expresses herself... amazing person!
the feeling... improv at its best! When steps don't matter but feeling does. The trust in this partnership was beyond beautiful.
Amazing.
I NEED more Melanie Moore in my life.
Make it happen Sonya! The two of you working together would be TOO perfect.
CHILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!!
Sonya’s reactions are the best!! You can just feel the energy in the room!
I can't get over this. and sonya's so cute when she hops around and across hahaha i couldn't help but smile.
Sonya is brilliant and genius all at the same time.

One of my favorite contemporary pieces of all time! 🖤
Lord this girl is #1 - won't find another like her, haven't seen a dancer like her since I saw her on SYTYCD 6 years ago
I cant stop watching it!!!!!!!!!
I always come back to this one. Amazing control!
I have tears in my eyes. no words for this.
that is the one and only Sonya Tayeh!!!!!
Sonya, you are just everything! Melanie killed it too
I can't stop watching this! I love the emotion and passion from both the dancers and from Sonya... breathtaking...
I am semi-obsessed with this, the choreography, Melanie, Will, the music...all perfect and incredibly moving. Also crazy about Sonya's reactions!
Sonya Tayeh is a choreographical genius... UGH...I can't stand it... Just SICK.... RAW!!!
of COURSE!!! this level of awesomeness to Sonya's choreography is accomplished by Miss Melanie Moore! :)
So much perfection. Sickness. Melanie is otherworldly. (the song, for whoever asked is Retrograde by James Blake)
That just made me cry like a baby!! Amazing!!
This is the first time dance has officially brought tears to my eyes. It was intense and so beautifully amazing.
I love Sonyah and the class enthusiasm for the dancers....this was amazing
Every so often I come back to this video and die a little. Insanity.
omg Sonya her reactions are bes... and Melanie moor YOU ARE MY HERO
That was spectacular!!! Melanie is sick!!!! and I just loved watching Sonya get excited about how amazing they are!!!!

Did Sonya scream WHAT THE FUCK?! At 1:14...... LOL she was receiving nothing but life from those two!!!

The musicality and connection to both each other and the movement in this is everything I've ever wanted to embody as a dancer. This is one of the most powerful pieces I've ever seen.
