Lacey and Neil contemporary, time by mia micheals

[@enriquetorres6998]

Lacey and Neal interpreted this dance piece exceptionally. Mia Micheals is so brilliant

[@broadwaydest]

This still gives me chills years years later!!

[@jonitchr]

Still makes me cry. Miss you, Dad.

[@marielxox3395]

I'm seventeen and my dad passed away 2 months ago and I had been thinking about this dance...I finally brought myself to watch it again and its amazing how much more it means to me now than before. Mia's dad would be so proud of her. I can't wait to dance with my daddy in heaven and I'll see Mia and her dad there too...

[@pashe01]

Why do I always cry when I watch this?

[@APrettyYoungThing]

Wow. Mia Michaels is wonderful... This choreography is just... No words.

[@dnice268]

wow.. this is just beautiful.. like i'm crying.. tears falling down my face.. when mary was crying ugh.. mia crying.. i just couldn't help it.. i've never been in this situation but i just can imagine..

[@cassiewatson1864]

The ten year anniversary was on tonight and it showed five of the best dances from the past years.. I do not understand why this wasn't one of the five... This will always be my favourite routine followed by the bench.

[@alexisdavid1911]

Cassie Watson Agreed!

[@mrdugsmif]

+Cassie Watson They did it in season 9 with Audrey and Matthew. It wasn't too well received. Sometimes you just don't mess with the original. Sometimes you learn that the hard way.

[@Tinaxo37]

The 10 year anniversary special was really disappointing simply because this was not in it..I'm still not over it.

[@venusofthemoon]

One of the big reasons some of the most stunning and best dances dont get chosen is because the dancers just cant make the show, plus it really is hard to choose 5 dances out of the last 10 years.

[@madysonlandar1538]

the bench has always been my fav

[@gwendee]

After so many seasons.. I can still watch this like 3-4 times in a row and cry 3-4 times in a row. The beauty in this piece is just stunning. Mia Micheals, thank you for an awesome piece :')

[@julieN2187]

i watched this when it actually aired years ago and i cried...i watched it just now, and i cried...Mia Michaels is pure magic...and this is one of the most beautiful expressions of love and loss that i have ever seen.

[@seekko]

Seen it so many time and still cry my eyes out

[@savoneo]

2019 and I still cry.

[@kbuurman82]

I lost my dad too, 4 years ago, and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I love this dance because it gives me hope that one day I will see him again and we can be together dancing forever!

[@Bunny-8889]

I loved this routine💔💞

[@carleethomas6296]

2020 and I'm still looking this up for a good cry

[@stephaniefitzrandolph1722]

Such an amazing piece by Mia Michaels...still brings tears to this day! Beautiful.

[@aquicksilver266]

A flood of memories of my Dad came back of when he had cancer........I miss you Dad, Love Jim

[@kristianvargas9223]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. Mia Michaels has created something truly remarkable. I've been watching this video over and over for years now and not once have I been able to make it through the whole thing without crying. Brilliant..... Simply brilliant.

[@RedJin]

This has remained my favorite dance routine of all the SYTYCD seasons. It's truly magical and emotionally pure. My father died years ago and I can't even imagine how it'll feel to see him again someday, if that happens. It will be a dream come true.

[@blondieb6946]

LL 3/19/12 In loving memory. I miss you Dad. Still remember watching this live not knowing what awaited us years later. Aml leukemia. He fought a hard fight, a brave fight. You will never leave my heart. Ever. This piece has always touched my heart, then, I didn’t know why. In 2020, I do.

[@gymgurl1995]

I remember watching this for the first time. This was the first season of sytycd that I ever watched. This was the first dance that I ever saw that made me cry. Mia Michaels was and still is my first favorite choreographer. Lacey and Neil were and still are my favorite sytycd couple. Thank you Mia Michaels,Lacey Schwimmer, and Neil Haskell.

[@karlapatylopez9785]

I imagine the moment when i see my mom again...maybe is gonna be like that!!! thanks Mia!!!1

[@sillystringification]

I had already started tearing up before they even started dancing. By the end I had tears pouring down my face. Beautiful dance. Just beautiful.

[@mollyyejin3225]

That was BEAUTIFUL. You can learn so much in a dance and you can be INSPIRED by just one piece of dance. I loved it and this inspires me to dance

[@VaGurl88]

the look they gave each other in the beginning...made me cry like a baby! the dance was touching

[@moohmooh623]

I cry every time. I love this routine. One of my favorites. I love Mia Michaels :) may her father rest in peace -3

[@michellemonize]

This is one of the most beautiful things I have EVER seen. Every time I see it, I love it all over again. Thanks, Mia! Your choreography is breathtaking.

[@Tinaxo37]

I lost my dad a little over a year ago and watching this just made me tear up all over again..but I know he's up there smiling and looking down over me and my mom and I can go on living everyday knowing he's in a much better place.

[@Bonbonbabies76]

Same. Lost my Dad in 2013, and this- well I needed a lot of tissues after this

[@neenasky08]

it makes me cry every time i see it. this was the dance that made me a neil fan for life!

[@annalisaleofa5696]

saw this 10 years ago... came to mind today and still in love

[@stephaniekelly8754]

Beautifully danced and choreographed. Miss my dad everyday ❤❤❤❤❤

[@twilightblue8566]

Mia Michaels choreographed some of the top 10 dances in the earlier days of this show. I miss her on the current SYTYCD along with Tyce Diorio. When choreography, music, and dancers can make an audience and judges' panel almost speechless you know it is a powerful number.

[@india1india2india3]

im 17 years old, and my dad passed away a month and 9 days ago...today was my first time watching this video...and after it ended i was in tears,but coupled with those tears was a smile,and a sense of hope... :)

[@HaileyNumber1]

mia michaels never fails to make me cry. she is one of my favorite choreographers ever.

[@ETurnity101]

thank you so much for posting this... i've been looking for it every where

[@SarahJames-gv2td]

So amazing and beautiful. I adored Lacey! She was so amazing! This one and her contemporary dance with Kameron are by far my faves.

[@MsLouis3]

I am so moved again by this piece-thankyou- I am also so touched by how the audience reacted. Music and dance speaking to the soul..very special.Thanks for putting this up.xxxLoveandpeacexxx

[@mariavikey]

So I sit here and cry.... Sooooo frickin' beautiful!

[@rharha246]

OMG .! ii watch this soooo manyy times an ii still cry .!

[@taviawooten764]

Years later and this is my favorite dance ever. Flawlessly choreographed.

[@boopinhollywood]

Its been how long now and I still cry when I watch this..

[@tashie30993]

cannot stop the tears, was beautiful

[@thatchik555]

Everytime I miss my dad who passed December '05, I watch this and get a good deep cry. Thank you Neil, Lacey & Mia.

[@shivag73]

The best dance of all 7 seasons. I can't wait until I have that dance with my dad.

[@chickendance90]

This is such a beautiful piece, when i first saw this on TV, i came in just as it had started, it bought me to tears and really touched my heart. Mia is just amazing, i don't dance contemp, but i would love to meet her and take a class with her. She is pure brilliance!

[@triniboay21]

omg!!! watchin this performance and this season makes me regret not watching the show till season 5. urrrggghhh! this performance was so beautiful!!!!

[@NeoGazer1123]

I saw this one on the tv when I was a kid.. still one of my favourites!

[@AnimeBoardGames]

I understand for those that lost a Father. I know the pain. and hurt. To see this brought tears to my eyes. and my heart filled with love and sadness at the same time.

[@futurepriestess2010]

I just watched this again in awhile and never realized how beautiful this piece is and just started crying.... so perfect, so beautiful, and for Mia to be brave and choreograph a piece like that is just amazing...

[@AlwaysxLively05]

Don't even get me started on this routine. Don't even. I lose it every time. And the music is so perfect. I just... Mmm. I can't right now. One of my favorite routines ever.

[@jtaggartt]

balling my eyes out. this is the most beautiful dance ive ever seen in my life.

[@rayraygoesrawr]

Out of all of the dances ever performed on SYTYCD, this one will always be the best. Love.

[@Lirit331]

Having had the immense privilege of studying under Mia as a child, and having watched with awe the classes her father taught from the sidelines, this tribute has a special knack of moving me to tears each and every time. The Michaels family as a whole is a legacy unto themselves of American dancers. They all will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@CaliCocoLove]

i just started crying for so many reasons...not just which one got the tears but wow this dance was amazing

[@flowerthyme1]

So beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it

[@lisaannejane2]

I cried throughout this routine. I just loved it.

[@TalkOnMyMic]

from start to finish this was beautiful, the look on his face when she waved at him was remarkable. mia poured her heart out to us through dance it was so vulnerable and open and filled with love. it was Perfect!

[@regenesis2x2sm13224]

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.....ever!

[@idoltyler06]

I kinda stopped watching after season 4 cause I just have been so busy when it's on, but I'm so glad to come back and watch something so beautiful. It moved me so much.

[@StaceyMcEvoy18]

WOWWW...what a performance I just loved it they danced it fab...and I adore Mia she is just simply amazing...such a heart warming dance routine to watch :)

[@Millienand1]

this is still one of my favorites...probably my favorite of all the seasons by far. thanx for posting

[@nicolebrown1260]

This dance touched my heart! My Dad passed away October 28, 2004... Just under 2 years that my mother passed away!

[@elizabethm7402]

Still one of the most stunning pieces.

[@arachnidfingers]

Ugh, I don't know why i looked for this video. I watched this 5 minutes ago and still have tears in my eyes.

[@thilabartolomeu]

Wonderfullll!!!! They are the best!

[@robbiefenton]

There is too much beauty in this piece to handle. Neil is beautiful. (physically and through his dance) ;) Lacey is beautiful. The story is beautiful. And lastly, the dance. It's shouts beauty. I just cried, I am a 17 year old male. Why? Because this is beautiful. :)

[@cupidxxrawr]

When I first saw this, I knew I never had a chance. I just started to cry.

[@JennyofOldStones713]

I lost my dad last year and had yet to watch this since the last time I saw it when it originally aired. I’m bawling to say the least 💔😭

[@Dreamtheater1928prog]

Very moving, I think particularly the song by Billy Porter, 'Time' evokes such emotion in the first place, and then add the Mia Michael's story and it's very moving indeed.

[@ourgiftisLOVE]

well, Adam wasn't lying when he said "this will go down as one of the great performances ever" 👌💯

[@Saphfirea]

Never fails to turn me into a human waterfall. Makes me think about how at any moment you can lose someone that you love and you really need to spend that time with them before they go.

[@MarinaIsHere]

It's so magical and beautiful !

[@badger39bucky]

This is one of my favorite dances..of all the seasons. It is beautiful and heart warming!!!

[@mik1511]

This is one of my favourite dances of all time and ill never forget it

[@thisisryanblood]

Brings me to tears.

[@antwanjones6048]

This is by far one of the most beautiful dance routines I've ever seen

[@raveena1002]

Wow, this dance is amazing! Lacey and Neil are so lovely together! This was my favorite season so far :)

[@Arohlwing]

Wow yah... Mia is beyond. Forgot about this until season 9 redid it last night... Wow. Lacey and Neil were born to do this.

[@cutieprincess431]

It's impossible to feel nothing watching this

[@BollywoodOnIce]

the essence is just beautiful- very heartfelt. it is beyond just dance.

[@TheKaylaThompson]

insanely amazing!! almost made me cry and i NEVER cry.

[@maiwind1819]

this made me cry the first time I saw this performance, watching it a second time made me cry more. Love this performance always ^^

[@Michael_C91]

2021 still watching

[@Mry140717]

I still remember this

[@IAmJessiYellow13]

Makes me cry every time..

[@elipencheva]

it's the most beautiful dance in the show... I love it!! ;[[

[@biaJME]

Just saw this dance for the first time ever. I'm crying.

[@supersunshiine]

ive never experienced a loss in my family, no deaths or anything, yet this piece has moved me to tears

[@VaGurl88]

I cry EVER SINGLE TIME!

[@MissKayfad1]

*-*-*In tears the ENTIRE time*-*-*

[@braatmom94]

One f the bes Mia dances EVER!!

[@MultiShadowKat]

I prefer this one over the version in season nine. These two really, even though they're in a really close age range, they pull off the father daughter relationship really well. Lacey dances with the abandon of an innocent little girl and Neil gives off the air of really being a father finally seeing his little girl again. I'm crying right now. I love this.

[@shivag73]

My dad suffered a stroke a few years before he died and was confined to a wheechair. It's wonderfullly sad to think of him doing all the things he loved to do before the stroke. When I see him in Heaven, he will be standing on his own two feet.

[@keeponmovingalong]

i watched this right after my grandpa passed away a few weeks ago and i literally bawled

[@stephaniexxrenee]

11 people dislike this because they don't have hearts. i cried. that was beautiful. ♥

[@enchantedhalfblood]

mia just knows how to induce beauty into the body with the movements she comes up with.love her!!!!!

[@ndye231]

i love mia. i have been choreographed by her before and it was sooooooo amazing.!

[@Lilmissmaggie1212]

this is my favourite routine of all time , simply beautiful!

[@aqu1r3]

this piece will forever move me RIP daddy

[@tsheringwb]

Beautiful. One of my fave SYTYCD routine of all time
