SYTYCD Cast: We're Going to Miss Mia Michaels
Monday – October 19, 2009 – 9:07am
Emmy Award-winning choreographer Mia Michaels -- who announced last week that she was exiting Fox's So You Think You Can Dance -- will be missed, her colleagues tell Usmagazine.com.
"It's tough," host Cat Deeley told Us Saturday at the Professional Dancers Society Fabulous Fall Ball in Studio City, Calif. "I mean, she has been a staple, but that's not to say that she's not going to come back at some stage. We all definitely admire her work."
Despite the loss, she said the show still has "great choreographers," including Tyce Diorio and Wade Robson. "So we’re cool," Deely added. "But the kids do love working with [Mia], even though she demands so much from them."

Added judge Adam Shankman, "I love her to death. I really thought that she added an enormous amount of choreography integrity and all her pieces were incredibly exciting. And I was always excited to see her. So, of course, I'm going to be sad, but I want her to go off and do everything that makes her happy."

Creator Nigel Lythgoe told Us that it is sad she left, but she "has really only choreographed two or three routines a season. They have always been fantastic - don't get me wrong - but there are 20 odd choreographers there. So it's really unfair to talk about Mia Michaels when she is just one of 23.
"And that's the great thing about So You Think You Can Dance," he added. "It is built around a great deal of talent."

Ding dong, the witch (or should that word start with a B?) is dead. Goodbye and good riddance. To use adjectives she has used to describe dancers on the show: She's 'stupid.' She 'sucks.' She is an 'a-hole' ... but I don't mean any of it in a good way. -

She was the best on the show. She should have been the 3rd perm judge. They could have done without Adam. I was always glad each show that he was not a Judge. SYTYCD LOST THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIA YOU WILL BE SO MISSED!!!!!!!!! -

She was the best. And who is going to choreograph contemporary dance? Also whoever does choreograph it, they will not be as good as Mia. -

Mia may have been one of 23 but she was one of the top three for me and my girls. She is an amazing teacher and she will be greatly missed on the show. -

Her dances were some of the best on the show. It sounds like Lythgoe wanted to let her go, he's rude--only one of 23 -

I will miss her too, a great talent, and some of the best dances on the show were choreographed by Mia.
