Sonya Tayeh class at Broadway Dance Center

Otherworldly experience in class. I'll never forget this night. Will loftis and Melanie Moore are from another planet.

[@dwayne4u]

I'm in love with Melanie

[@hpobsessed21]

Oh my God. You can't tell me that lift sequence is improv. That's an insane amount of trust and connection.

[@xtyna100]

And to think that I’ve taken clases there!! I suck big time but I put my feet where they did 😮

[@fulgore128]

wow...

[@KieraBreaugh]

2 years later and this still gives me the most chills

[@justlovinit1213]

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!

[@justlovinit1213]

RhythmMADE Ehhh no one said she couldn't be proud...

[@shaylacovington8078]

RhythmMADE she was obviously very proud if you didnt see her skipping around the floor.. lmao

[@markbaumgartner4868]

justlovinit1213 that was an improvised dance. not choreography.

[@brianmboller]

Wait, like for real?!? With no structure or any rehearsal or prompt beforehand???

[@shantelflood5539]

r u f*ing kidding me r u serious good god holy shit I think I peed a little watching this omfg

[@niksteriffic]

Melanie Moore is the most captivating dancer on this planet!! Literally brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps......don't forget the goosebumps!!

[@MecnunGiasar]

i am still crying over this.

[@jacqdance]

Sonya's reactions are about the most adorable things i've ever seen

[@YeshItsTyla]

literally died from perfection. this is everything i imagined in my head when I heard this song.

[@xoxobenifitbabez21]

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.

[@deaven]

all i hear is YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@freeirb]

this literally gave me chills THIS is why Sonya is a BEAST !

[@kirabri123]

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

[@beccamorton8630]

Sonya's reaction is everything!! xD I love her!

[@ksaxophone14]

I was having a bad day..... This just gave me LIFE! holy crap!

[@xXxSW33TH34RTxXx]

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

[@sazude2]

@ksaxophone14 wonderful!

[@iampatrickellis]

i dont know what to do with myself right now

[@jasminemarie5431]

This is something none of my friends will ever understand: dance

[@alissenieves9174]

i have tears! Sonya ALWAYS moves me and Melanie was my girl on SYTYCD

[@Natiaboo5000]

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.

[@mlewis382]

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.

[@SerenitySong6]

Melanie and Allison are the best female dancers I can think of from SYTYCD

[@crazypoundpupp]

Watching Sonya is my favorite part of this video :-P

[@xoxobenifitbabez21]

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.

[@derek93sam94]

This.. was crazy.. watching this was like an experience... this performance was beyond beautiful, Bravo and excellent job.

[@becca3039]

just wow. I will never get over this. never ever ever never. timeless.

[@xXxSW33TH34RTxXx]

Damn this stuff just makes me love Melanie and Sonya so much, I have to stop rewatching XD

[@rissaballerina]

5 years later and it still makes me cry!! love this so much!!

[@karadaneck7017]

i think I've watched this like 15 times in a row, and every time it gives me the chills...

[@wuwupiano]

Hi there, could you please elaborate for someone who doesn't have a dance back ground what it means to improv to choreography? Does it mean there are certain moves that are set throughout the piece and then they just fill it in with improv? If this is so, Melanie Moore is even more of a genius than I initially thought.

[@jadesimpson6103]

7 years later and I find myself consistently watching this video. I was 12 the first time I watched. Pure magic

[@afafemse7855]

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

[@amaliaaljufri2234]

download the song on your phone, mute this video, play the song at 0:06. you're welcome.

[@orac1waterskiing]

I thank God someone captured this moment........I come here every so often to recharge my batteries.

[@candicej2026]

i freaking love her energy !!!!!!

[@WitchlightNW]

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

[@sams8116]

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

[@meeowolf]

The first time a heard this song I thought of Sonya. She choreographs what emotions look like.

[@raay.6525]

2020

[@wtfilyryanscheckler]

Legitimately had to pause a minute in because I could not handle their sheer brilliance!

[@justinchristian3374]

Omg…the lines! So so beautiful….Sonya is and will always be a legend!

[@trintube68]

So much perfection. Sickness. Melanie is otherworldly. (the song, for whoever asked is Retrograde by James Blake)

[@sunnieknight4592]

Anyone else here in 2021 to reminisce?

[@Ophilly1]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MELANIE..... # MY FAVORITE DANCER OF ALL TIME..

[@nicole8724]

THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR UGH SONYA COME BACKKKK!!!!!!

[@roniboni___]

Sonya is a fucking goddess 🤗🙌🏼 and this was portrayed so beautifully I’m screamingggg

[@stephaniehayes341]

you can't teach dancing like that. their talent is off the charts

[@tarrynthedoula]

Sonya Tayeh makes dancers G-d in motion. Like wow. I feel like I’m watching something sacred.

[@ksaxophone14]

It has been 4 months since ive seen this video..... it is STILL giving me chills up and down my spine

[@tcammac]

Two of my favorite humans: Sonya and Melanie...I think I’ve seen this video 100x

[@TheJgiesinger]

I swear some folks could wear a paper bag and still be brilliant .... ty :D

[@DanaCreates]

my future husband needs to move like this man so we can dance together!!!

[@kimberlygoodman2130]

Sonya Tayeh is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mkay2864]

Every so often I come back to this video and die a little. Insanity.

[@discoPANDAmonium]

I had to watch this twice.... once to watch these EXTRAORDINARY dancers and again to watch Sonya's reactions eg. her shuffley/gallopy thing at 1:49 :P

[@Boom0808]

...it took me 3 times viewing this video to realize they're dancing in a mirror. I totally thought four dancers were just in-sync!

[@shaylacovington8078]

dude sonya hahaha what a crazy awesome choreographer!!

[@woslki89]

Melanie is beautiful with the way she move

[@princesspepes7]

I love melanie, shes amazing !!

[@cegl2000]

so thats what dying and going to heaven is like? oh okay, thanks. this was too much to handle. beyond words amazing.

[@Ijustfeelthesame]

Am I the only one that laughed when the person holding the camera said "Yeah yeah, boo" in the beginning?

[@jch12341]

It's no wonder Melanie won her season. She is perfection at it's finest.

[@loverox777]

sobbing. this is the best thing i've ever seen in my life. even 9 years later. frick.

[@joshuamateo]

OH MY GOD DON'T TELL ME THIS IS IMPROV. BECAUSE IF IT IS, THIS MORE PERFECT THAN IT ALREADY IS

[@LolaLoneWolf]

Sonya Tayeh is a choreographical genius... UGH...I can't stand it... Just SICK.... RAW!!!

[@mandarinQ]

This really moved me, they both must be inhuman.. And what is the music? It's beautiful!

[@redsquirrelandreuben]

Ah! this is good! why is everyone going crazy? is it some magical improv or something?

[@Jefersonmaciell19]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kendle80]

next season i'm gonna try my best to work with you:).....you inspire me so much

[@DequanClarke]

This piece is aammaazing!!! Great job Sonya!! Your choreo blends so well with James Blake's music it's almost unfair!

[@rebeccafindlay9068]

8 years later and I’m still coming back.

[@pkwestropp]

The song is James Blake - Retrogade, he is equally as amazing as this dance.

[@sweetluvinjc]

I think everything after she says "keep going" is improv. So from 2:02 ...?

[@tingsbykaris]

that girl in all black jumping around is more distracting than anything xD

[@UdoADHD]

This was improv?????

[@EmsAmd]

ive nevr cried because of a dance yet i just did that was amazing

[@k2l42]

SonyaTayeh is RIDICULOUS...... RIDICULOUS in my best *LUDAVOICE* !

[@dyanabartley1744]

Sonya Tayeh, Melanie Moore, Will Loftis and James Blake... Pure Perfection!!!

[@madeleineleblanc5874]

Charismatic Melanie Moore. Always the best, the most natural.

[@palomarubik]

[@bluespirit2126]

Was the piece about domestic violence?

[@CarlaSophieMar]
