Video: Destini Roger's "Stone" Choreography

Many recognize Applause Studios in Oklahoma as home to renowned choreographer Emily Shock, but some forget it also houses a SYTYCD alum, Destini Rogers (S1). Destini often choreographs and teaches here, but after the opinionated post about who SYTYCD should bring in as a new choreographer, I thought it was appropriate to feature a recent piece she made entitled Stone. Oh and shout out to my buddy Miles Yeung who is also featured in the video as the only boy, haha.

From Destini: "A piece I did for my favorite students using music my favorite artist Ingrid Michaelson's song "Turn to Stone". This piece is the story of my life, and I can't wait to see this piece on a stage with lots of beautiful lighting. I hope these students will continue to work hard on making it a masterpiece. Blessed to be able to call them students. Thank you so much!"



I really enjoyed it, and I think it's fully worth your 3 minutes and 38 seconds of your life because I was already captivated within the first minute. If she could do this with these young dancers, imagine what she could do on SYTYCD as a choreographer? So come on SYTYCD, bring in more alumni!

Edit: Season 7 hopeful Alicia Clifton at 1:45 with the beautiful turn! :o
