This style combines elements of ballet, modern, and jazz techniques. Like contemporary dance, it's driven by the emotion of the music and typically uses percussive, rhythmic movement. It has not appeared often on the "So You Think You Can Dance" stage, but when it does, it's always memorable. The first such occasion was a group dance choreographed by Wade and Amanda Robson. The Top 14 of Season 6 performed to Imogen Heap's "Aha!" Another memorable contemporary jazz routine came from Ellenore Scott and Ryan Di Lello, also in Season 6, when they danced to "Arcadia" choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.
