Seeing that there will sadly be no new Mia Michaels routines on So You Think You Can Dance, this seemed as good a time as any to revisit my favorite Mia Michaels routines. Looking through Mia's contemporary catalog I tried not to grow despondent about Mia's resignation. Whether you loved or hated her personality and approach, it seems impossible to deny the talent, artistry, and emotion she brought to the show.

Considering how many memorable pieces Mia has crafted for So You Think You Can Dance, choosing five is difficult and solely subjective. These are my five favorite and yes a certain Emmy winning routine is missing, Mia and I seem to feel the same way about that one. I would love it if you shared your favorite Mia pieces in the comments and what about the routine touched you.
