Michaels makes a literal concept feel subtle better than anyone in the business. This meditation on growing older could have easily gone too far over the top, but in her hands, the piece is a sad, bittersweet triumph (one that won her an Emmy). And it doesn't hurt that it's performed by three of the show's best contemporary/ballet dancers.
The one new routine to come out of season 9's tribute to Michaels was this unexpectedly devastating number about hatred. Inspired by fighting rams, Michaels handed two of the season's most technical dancers a physically demanding piece, and they danced it with abandon. It's a late-season entry that tends to get overlooked, but "Adagio for Strings" ...
Sit with Mia Michaels' unapologetic eccentricity and enjoy it. This season 3 group routine is haunting, from the stark lighting to the way it uses the edge of the stage, and it defies explanation in a way that sticks with you.
Michaels is known for tapping into tough emotions, but she brought out her playful side for this Emmy-nominated breakup routine — which, she told EW in 2012, was inspired by a relationship that ended with a conversation through a doorway.

Another of the routines chosen for Michaels' tribute episode, "Hometown Glory" is an often imitated but never duplicated piece that relies entirely on its dancers' interdependence. Michaels described the routine to EW as the "cross between a friendship and a very healthy competition." Season 4's Ka...
The routine that won Michaels her first Emmy is still one of her best. Remembered only as "The Bench" (and starring a future Emmy-winning choreographer, Travis Wall), "Calling You" cuts through the set piece and the sweet flower prop to tell a clear-eyed story about two people in a dying relationship. The image of Travis and Heidi staring at each o...
Michaels — and, really, the show as a whole — never packed a more emotional punch. Inspired by Michael Jackson's death ("I think all of America stopped — everyone kind of gasped," she told EW in 2012), Michaels tells a raw and all-too-resonant story about "the darkness of addiction" and how hard it is to escape: Kupono is alternately sticky and sti...
