AND THE WINNER IS:

MARK KANEMURA FOR (“CALL ME MOTHER”), SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

This is the first win and second nomination for Mark Kanemura. He was previously nominated for choreography “I Am the Best” on So You Think You Can Dance.

Mark Kanemura is probably one of the most exciting choreographers to originate from So You Think You Can Dance during its entire run. He’s worked with Gaga during her peak fame tours and has returned to the FOX series which discovered him to create dances for both single contestants and this season even a group performance. He’s dance set to RuPaul’s “Call Me Mother” when I first saw it stood out to me because for a show that hasn’t fully embraced the LGBT community has openly as it should have seeing dancers of many styles delivering such an entering package that embraced so much of what I value I was thrilled. From the sight of seeing previous contestant Robert beginning the number and feeling his feminine and masculine ways I was in love with the creation and all the congrats go to Kanemura for continuing to up his game.
