Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When the top three performed in season 7, Kent and Allison danced a contemporary routine to "Sundrenched World" by Joshua Radin. Who choreographed this routine?

Answer: Stacey Tookey

All season long, the judges kept telling Kent to go deeper with his performances. Kent was so into this piece that during the dance, he literally said "get off" at a part where Allison was on him.

2. The week that the top twenty took to the stage in season three, Mia Michaels choreographed a contemporary routine using the song "Dancing" by Elisa. Which two dancers performed this routine?

Answer: Lacey and Kameron

Not only did the top twenty dancers have to prove that they deserved to be there, but Lacey was trying to prove that she could dance just like her big brother Benji, who won the previous season (season 2). The pair received great reviews from the judges after their take at Mia Michaels contemporary.

Answer: "If It Kills Me"

"If It Kills Me" by Jason Mraz was the song Travis used in his first piece as a choreographer for the show in season 5. "I'm There Too" by Michelle Featherstone was used by Travis for a routine in season 6. The other two songs, "Konstantine" by Something Corporate and "Belief" by Gavin DeGraw, were both used by Travis for solos when he competed on the show in season 2.

4. What large prop was used for Mia Michaels' routine "Calling You", performed by Travis and Heidi in season 2?

Answer: bench

"Calling You" featured the use of a bench. As heard during the judges' critique, one of Nigel's favorite moments from the routine was Travis and Heidi trying to touch hands through the grates of the bench. This routine won the Outstanding Choreography Emmy in 2007.

Answer: dealing with cancer

This was a special piece for the choreographer (Travis Wall) because it was based on the fight with cancer that his mom is/was battling.

8. The very first week of season 7, Sonya Tayeh choreographed a contemporary piece for Allison and Alex. What song was this routine danced to?
