Travis Wall's 10 Favorite 'SYTYCD' Routines

Travis Wall's Top 10

With the finale of So You Think You Can Dance season eight upon us, I began to think about my all-time favorite routines. And one name continually bubbled up: Travis Wall. Whether he was dancing or choreographing, the season two runner-up ended up with more than half my top spots. That made me curious about which routines Travis considers his favorites.

So TheInsider.com tasked the Emmy nominee with picking his 10 favorite routines, with one restriction: any piece he was involved with couldn't be in contention. So while we adore Jason & Jeanine's season five piece and Allison & Robert's Fix You from season seven, they were off limits!

But what makes a routine exceptional to Travis? "To me, it's about the why. As in, 'Why are we dancing?' The biggest thing is storytelling," he tells TheInsider.com. "I have to be affected. I want beautiful technique and to be moved, obviously, but it has to be honest, it has to be pure and you have to be saying something." So check out the 10 routines that moved Travis the most!
