So You Think You Can Dance: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mia Michaels is gone. I think I literally just shed a tear...or is that just my contact actin up? Anyway, I thought Mia was just MIA for a few episodes or something but we'd see her when it was time to choreograph the best piece of the season like she always does. I mean her and her butchy shaved head was just on selecting the Top 20! What.Da.Fudge.Mia?!?!!! Why did you decide to move on from So You Think You Can Dance? It’s been an amazing five-year journey and I am in a place where I have all these great opportunities that have been presented to me and I am ready to take on all these challenges. So when I was working on the show, I wasn’t able to really focus on anything else. Now I’m really focusing on these other projects that I can’t pass up. I think that’s pretty much the main reason why I left the show. After your announcement, you appeared on the final Vegas callbacks with your head shaved. Please address all the rumors, including the ones that you have cancer. As far as me shaving my head, I just felt the need to get rid of it. I was kind of falling into a Hollywood image thing a little bit, and I just felt like it was a cool time to just start over. And that’s why I shaved it. And I had said on the show, “It’s been a difficult time,” and it’s like the last couple months in my life personally I’ve just been going through things … And then when I read those things I went “Oh no!” I do not have cancer. You can put that to rest. Fans may be hoping this is just a break. Will you be back? It wasn’t a break because I came to Canada and I choreographed the finale here in Canada, and I have right now scheduled to do the U.K., and Australian [versions of the show], as well as the new Canadian season three, so it’s not like I need a break because creatively I feel like I have a lot to say right now. It was just a decision that I made. It’s just something that I needed to do. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is just another step in my journey to now take it to the next level. Do you have any regrets in that you’re going to miss a chance to work with this cast? It’s not like I can’t go and see the family and support the dancers. In order for me to move forward in my career, sometimes we have to let go before other things can take off. Am I sad? There’s moments, of course, but I’m also doing these other shows that I still get my fix on SYTYCD because I’m still choreographing, I’m still judging, I’m still seeing Nigel. So it’s all a very positive thing. What new experiences are you talking about and what are about to start working on? I am right now in talks of doing my own choreography show. I’m also doing a dance musical that will probably be documented as a doc-reality show. And then I’m working on a clothing line for dancers as well as just everyday lifestyle. And I’m working on a book deal as well. Bye, Mia. I am really not happy that this talented bunch won't be doin any Mia routines this season. But I understand that er'body needs to move on at some point... Thank you for your excellence. And gettin on my nerves sometimes. Source
