This is probably the best group performance I’ve ever seen. Pure magic, the choreography, the costumes, the music, all of it. Gives me chills every time I watch it.
@@SaraZanellettihow long did y’all preform this? I never got the chance to see the show and heard that a lot of the choreograph and cirque elements got cut after year.
It's been roughly 12 years since I first obsessed with this. I come back to it again after a memory triggered and I'm still infatuated by it. The music stuck with me through the years. An incredible performance.
So weird. So creepy and dark. And so freaking brilliant. SYTYCD was once my fav show when they featured routines like this. I don't even watch it now. Anyway, Wade - you are a genius.
This routine demonstrates all the stages someone goes through when a loved one of theirs dies. It's a creation by Wade but in honor of Criss Angel's father who died of cancer in 1998.
Is it weird that I love the solo? Because I love the solo... It's choreographed so perfectly, it looks off balance, but you can tell it isn't because it's danced just as perfectly.
The costumes are absolutely stunning. I wish I could see each one in more detail. Amazing dance as well. This and Ramalamabangbang have to be my favorite group dances!
this touched me in a way i thought i could never be touched. only michael jackson, mia michaels and wade robson can do this to me....no words just brilliance, i only dream oneday to work with the remaining two
I love Wade Robson's style of choreo like the little half steps at 0:40 and the wailing arms at 1:01 It's like if Robson's choreo is like a Tim Burton movie and I love it
It's a man named Ben Susak. He was a contestant on SYTYCD Season 1 but was eliminated early in the competition. Check out his Wade Robeson routine with Pam Chu. It's amazing!
I absolutely love everything wade robson does! And I'm excited because i'm going to see the Chris Angel show in las vegas that wade robson helped choreograp =D
There is chaos, as every rabbit displays their anger and grief in a different way. Again, however, they calm down, and dance together one last graceful and respectful tribute to their dead friend before carrying the coffin away in a funeral procession (as conveyed by the move at 2:51). They then all stop, and stare at the audience condemningly there shall be no peace for them, and they want no peace for us we are the murderers. Wonderful.
For years I could picture this vividly. Creepy bunny masks and eerie movements but I could never pinpoint what it was from. Finding this was a huge sigh of relief
This routine is so beautiful and the story is just amazing. The dancers carried the story so perfectly and I just can't even. Wade Robson is a genius. And this piece is a work of art.
@ScrapDisk Wade and Burton need to make babies somehow. With Robson's dance/choreography skills and Burton's eccentricites, there's no telling how amazing it would all be.
I remember watching this with my ex wife when it first came out. As much as I dislike her now, I remember this particular night was really awesome. Ty to cirque du soleil for giving me positive memories
I love the... widow(?)s solo in the middle. When I saw this I was reminded of when I went to Cirque du Soleil as a child, and I loved the whole thing. I wish Wade Robson did more like this.
that was so creepy, i was imagining actual human sized rabbits doing this dance right in front of me, wade robson is a genius, he always knows what dances to do on SYTYCD, and knows that people will always love what he does. i LOVE this dance
@ClaytonNickellFilms I was just talking with a magic friend and I heard that Criss removed this from the show, I think that's completely stupid because that was an amazing piece and fit so well into the show.
When I went to Criss Angel's Cirque De Soli show, they were having major technical difficulties and Criss Angel literally told us to "get the hell out of his theater" because they had to stop the show(I thought it was funny personally, my parents did not). This dance was definitely the highlight of the show and if it wasn't for it I would've demanded that I got our money back.
So gripped are they with passion that they can only choke out the accusing words to the audience "Look, you...you..." at what a human has done to their comrade. Then they break down in mournful tears before regaining some composure for the eulogy (the solo rabbit). However, as his emotion crescendos, the rabbits break down again as they surround the coffin, desperately begging the heavens - "Why?!" before thrashing in grief-stricken rage at the unjust loss of their friend.
This is my interpretation: These rabbits are so torn with their sadness, and even more consumed with rage. Slowly the funeral procession begins, with the coffin being laid down, with sharp glares thrown at the audience by the two front rabbits. The other rabbits keep their sadness and grief in check for the moment, but then their fury rises with the music.
Thank you for putting these together and posting. I’m a MASSIVE Wade Robson fan and miss him and his choreography. I started watching SYTYCD because of him.
Ever since I saw this I've been every now and then sporadically started dancing what they're dancing at 2:20. That, or I'm just starting to adapt my rabbits behaviours. Either way, I have gotten a new hobby. Stomping!
@RevyReL Yes it does, actually. Came across this video when looking for wade robson choreo and was gobsmacked when I realized that fact. I knew watching this at Criss' show that the choreo style looked very familiar. I guess Wade was choreographing Criss Angel's show and decided to give us a a little peak at his brilliance during this season.
r they gona hav a DVD of it? (I'm in the uk and wood pay like £30 for that lol) I love criss and the show looks fabbie cuz I loooove the cirque and as far as I no it's mostly them but I love criss too... and I've seen the bit wiv blood b4 lol (I'm 12) duz nyone know if ther gona?
This is probably the best group performance I’ve ever seen. Pure magic, the choreography, the costumes, the music, all of it. Gives me chills every time I watch it.
I was in the cast. I’m glad you loved it
@@SaraZanellettiYou lucky rabbit!! What season? Who. Was your favourite choreographer to work with? Who was the show’s best dancer overall?
@@brianshickeyI was in Cirque du Soleil and this was the promo of our show ‘Believe’ choreographed by Wade
@@SaraZanellettihow long did y’all preform this? I never got the chance to see the show and heard that a lot of the choreograph and cirque elements got cut after year.
@@pigoman6566 3 years. Correct, after that, all the dance choreographs were cut off
It's been roughly 12 years since I first obsessed with this.
I come back to it again after a memory triggered and I'm still infatuated by it. The music stuck with me through the years. An incredible performance.
This is still my favorite performance on this show.
I swear this man needs to choreograph a Tim Burton musical...
I've never seen a truer comment.
@@amandaggogo or Choreograph Beetle Juice
Bruh that would be the day. It would be phenomenal
Omgggg yesssse
Would gladly help fund that project
So weird. So creepy and dark. And so freaking brilliant. SYTYCD was once my fav show when they featured routines like this. I don't even watch it now. Anyway, Wade - you are a genius.
Jenny Lake I agree the show isn’t the same anymore
This is a cirque du soleil production
Yes I agree! I always enjoyed the group dances especially by Wade and Mia!
@@pigoman6566 but this routine is choreographed by Wade Robson, using the song of the Criss Angel/Cirque du soleil show
@@pigoman6566 This is a routine from So You Think You Can Dance.
This routine demonstrates all the stages someone goes through when a loved one of theirs dies. It's a creation by Wade but in honor of Criss Angel's father who died of cancer in 1998.
Paralyzed Queen it bombed too.
i can never get tired of watching this performance. i've watched it a million times already and i'm still not tired of seeing it.
Is it weird that I love the solo? Because I love the solo... It's choreographed so perfectly, it looks off balance, but you can tell it isn't because it's danced just as perfectly.
The choreographer is a sick genius. Reminds me of Donnie Darko movie too.
Wade Robson
The costumes are absolutely stunning. I wish I could see each one in more detail. Amazing dance as well. This and Ramalamabangbang have to be my favorite group dances!
The music is just so wonderful. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
This very performance made me persue a career in theater. It was so moving and I love dance and drama! Great job Wade!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
this touched me in a way i thought i could never be touched. only michael jackson, mia michaels and wade robson can do this to me....no words just brilliance, i only dream oneday to work with the remaining two
I loved it when Wade, Sonya and Mia went dark with their choreography. It always resulted in masterpieces! 💖
Timeless! Watched it live way back when...
Wow!!!.... I kept watching that over and over again
yay! another person that love the criss angel believe show!!!! i saw it too! and LOVED every second of it
OMG i`ve watched this routine hundreds of times and i didn`t realized that they danced more than 3 minutes .one word AMAZING
I love that Kayala and crimson are in this dance - I went to see the show last month and absolutly loved it :)
One of the best group dances I have ever seen!!!
Spectacular choreo and stunning dancing. 10/10
Thanks
I love Wade Robson's style of choreo like the little half steps at 0:40 and the wailing arms at 1:01 It's like if Robson's choreo is like a Tim Burton movie and I love it
Oh I love Cirque Du Soleil sooo damn much! I think I must have watched this dance a good four times before I continued with the finale!
Thanks!
That was ridiculously sick. One of the best performances
i love this routine. i haven't been able to get the music out of my head since this aired live.
Man this is amazing! Wade Robson is one of the best choreographers of our time.
Definately!! I've been looking for it everywhere because I really want to choreograph a dance to it, too!
It's a man named Ben Susak. He was a contestant on SYTYCD Season 1 but was eliminated early in the competition. Check out his Wade Robeson routine with Pam Chu. It's amazing!
I thought it was Ben when I saw this years ago but the sad thing is they never list the dancers in a performance just call out the choreographer.
I absolutely love everything wade robson does! And I'm excited because i'm going to see the Chris Angel show in las vegas that wade robson helped choreograp =D
this was a great concept
Beautiful. Love the creativity and how well they show the dynamic music -3
They are from cirque du soleil. It was choreographed by wade robson
As mesmerising today as it was the first time I saw it performed on SYTYCD 15(!) years ago. Pure magic.
This is so dark and twisted it's brilliant!! Wade Robson is pure genius!!
Freakin' awesome! This and the Hummingbird dance are my favs from Wade. Miss him on SYTYCD.
I love it!!!! ONE OF THE BEST DANCES ON THE SHOW
amazing, i love this sooo much. it was amazing to watch live. it gives more than goosebumbs. i have learned almost all of it :)
Sykt at dette er 15 år siden Kjetil! Fant denne i mine favoritter, fortsatt AMAZING opptreden!
this dance is huantingly beautiful

Wonderful.
everytime i watch it, it feels like i am seeing it for the first time!! love this!!!!!!
This dance still terrifies me
im glad this is still on tube. I watched this episode on tv when it aired.
this is what nightmares are mad of! but i love it, and i love the bunny ears coming out of the coffin
I LOVE the meaning of this routine. So moving and something everyone can relate to. VERY well done.
I watched the original. I’ve watched it every year since. Sheer genius.
For years I could picture this vividly. Creepy bunny masks and eerie movements but I could never pinpoint what it was from. Finding this was a huge sigh of relief
This routine is so beautiful and the story is just amazing. The dancers carried the story so perfectly and I just can't even. Wade Robson is a genius. And this piece is a work of art.
WHATS THE STORY
@@torim.7047 Bunnies get aggresively killed by magicians and their failed tricks and the other rabbits are going through the 5 stages of grief
The crying bit and the Ministers Dance are my FAVORTIE!
When this routine first aired, it creeped out my whole family. Looking at it now, it's just intriguing.
they have never topped this routine on the show as to date!
That music gives me the chills.
Brilliant.
@ScrapDisk Wade and Burton need to make babies somehow. With Robson's dance/choreography skills and Burton's eccentricites, there's no telling how amazing it would all be.
Ah, Cirque du Soleil...they never disappoint. I've been dying to see Believe...the concept intrigues me.
Oh Wade. My God. I miss you and your beautiful choreography so much. :'(
I learnt this in 1weeks,its easy so much fun,I want to see the show live in the Luxor:)
i got to go to Vegas and see his show it was so much more amazing live~
I remember watching this with my ex wife when it first came out. As much as I dislike her now, I remember this particular night was really awesome.
Ty to cirque du soleil for giving me positive memories
this is still one of the best routines from the show!
7 year old me disagrees
2:30 gave me goosebumps. *shivers* So sincronised! Beautifully done. Gives me a strong feeling of Cats, the musical. ^^;
I luv the part where they cry it just works with the music and everything.......whats the name of the song please?
Eric Serra - Homage To Rabbits
sooo amazing. i especially loved the part where they all cried together!!
I found it so amusing when they all cried together
Great dance and wonderful music.
POWER TO THE RABBITS
at first i thought this was so weird, but by the end of the dance i was totally in love with it!
I love the... widow(?)s solo in the middle.
When I saw this I was reminded of when I went to Cirque du Soleil as a child, and I loved the whole thing.
I wish Wade Robson did more like this.
Very Cirque de Soleil meets Pan's Labyrinth meets Tim Burton....amazing
I freaking love this for some reason.. I can't pick out why but I just love it.
It's like something out of Donnie Darko if it was a musical. ¥
truesignal Yes!! Exactly what I thought!
I love all of Wade's choreography!!! owo
I saw this show it was so Awesome and I going back!
Ugh! This gave me goosebumps! So creepy and wonderful.
i saw his show IT WAS AWESOME !!!
i had second row center seats
I saw it at luxor last week and it was really amazing!
this is my favorite piece of all time !!
Ben Susak. He was a contestant on SYTYCD Season 2.
Why have I never seen this dance before?! Literally chills. I love the creepiness. THIS is performing!
I have a pet rabbit and the choreography is so rabbit like. Especially at 2:33 or so when it looks like they're thumping
alot of people in vegas didnt like the show. all of our taxi drivers said it wasnt good
that was so creepy, i was imagining actual human sized rabbits doing this dance right in front of me, wade robson is a genius, he always knows what dances to do on SYTYCD, and knows that people will always love what he does. i LOVE this dance
i saw this play yesterday it was awesome!!!!!!!!
@ClaytonNickellFilms I was just talking with a magic friend and I heard that Criss removed this from the show, I think that's completely stupid because that was an amazing piece and fit so well into the show.

The song is called Homage to the rabbits by Eric Serra according to SYTYCD, but Im having trouble finding it.
So gripped are they with passion that they can only choke out the accusing words to the audience "Look, you...you..." at what a human has done to their comrade. Then they break down in mournful tears before regaining some composure for the eulogy (the solo rabbit). However, as his emotion crescendos, the rabbits break down again as they surround the coffin, desperately begging the heavens - "Why?!" before thrashing in grief-stricken rage at the unjust loss of their friend.
breath-takingly,undeniably,outstandingly purely genious :)
This is my interpretation:
These rabbits are so torn with their sadness, and even more consumed with rage. Slowly the funeral procession begins, with the coffin being laid down, with sharp glares thrown at the audience by the two front rabbits. The other rabbits keep their sadness and grief in check for the moment, but then their fury rises with the music.
This is my favorite performance ever. on sytycd.
Thank you for putting these together and posting. I’m a MASSIVE Wade Robson fan and miss him and his choreography. I started watching SYTYCD because of him.
@96mychale i think it´s Ben Susak, from season 2
@BeatingDeadthings it will be on the Criss Angel believe Soundtrack, though as yet theres no release date.
I'll never see rabbits quite the same again...
Ever since I saw this I've been every now and then sporadically started dancing what they're dancing at 2:20. That, or I'm just starting to adapt my rabbits behaviours. Either way, I have gotten a new hobby. Stomping!

r they gona hav a DVD of it?
(I'm in the uk and wood pay like £30 for that lol) I love criss and the show looks fabbie cuz I loooove the cirque and as far as I no it's mostly them but I love criss too... and I've seen the bit wiv blood b4 lol (I'm 12)
duz nyone know if ther gona?
By far my favorite part of the show
That... That... That... That was FREAKING AMAZING!
It's from season 4 and it was the cast of the Criss Angels 'Believe' not the dancers from the show.
This is brilliant, in a rather disturbing way. I saw it on SYTYCD and never forgot it.
...Though I still have a preference for Ramalama. =)
I don't think there's an actual soundtrack...yet. Hopefully soon? If you look around youtube, you may be able to find something.
This is from Criss Angel Believe! AWESOME!!!
