I still remember this, years later. Somehow whenever I come back it's even better than I last remembered it. So beautiful. Hope you're doing well Gabi!!!
Just watched the Season 17 premier of SYTCD (2022) and I still remember this incredible audition. It made an impression on me when I watched it when it originally aired and it has stayed with me throughout the years. We had a sincere backstory, nothing over the top, with amazing dancing. So pure and so honest... we will never see another audition like this!
I absolutely love this. Such a wonderful performer. She has what most auditions lack...She was in character the whole time. Definitely one of my favorite auditions.
To the Melanie Moores and All you other top dancers.....Bow your heads to the master and in my opinion The best dancer to ever grace the internet, barring none.
Gabi is one of the best dancers I've ever seen/ met. If you think she's amazing on screen, watching her dance live is 10x better because you get the connection that you can only get from watching a live performance.
Gabi, you are such a gorgeous performer. I've watched this video at least 100 times, no joke. I would love to see you perform in the future! There are not enough dancers, I should say artists, like you around!
Gabi, I'm always coming back here to watch you, love everything you do.....You are simply the Best dancer I have ever seen barring none......You are simply compelling watching thankyou.x
@Gabi Rojas I am now gluten free as well and finally found the right medication that works. I've lost 50lbs in the last 6 months and started dancing again! RA is a beast but I have definitely learned that I need to keep moving otherwise it takes over again. Happy healing vibes sent to you. I hope your flare is short-lived and that it is minimal. From one RA Warrior to another, rest when you can but we can beat this thing! xoxo Laura
She is such a fabulous dancer, and I love her even more because she chose Nina Simone for that second solo. This girl made me start to actually watch the show. The little I saw from her was better than some of the best careography on sytycd.
Wow, I really liked that! Really unique,her own kind of style what also showed her flexibility etc. Usually those contemporary dances use the same elements.and usually lot of gymnastics-show elements and they loose the actual dancing, the body movements
One of the best auditions til this day. She actually dance. She actually told a story. Instead of the same ass dancing with the same ass dance moves of jumping, splits...blah blah blah. Sad she didn't dance on the show. And every year they pick the same ass dancers.....
Oh my goodness. Now, why are people saying she is not "better" than Melanie Moore and Sasha, Allison...They are all very different in their own respects. We may compare them for the sake of art and comparison, but they are all unique. And if by "better" you mean technique, well I shall say that this girl has more concept, feeling and artistic exploration in her dance than the typical "look how high my leg goes" and "look at my awesome flips" etc. Dance is about expression, (often forgotten)
@videos4vainglorious It probably changed because of copyright infringements or something but when I watched this live these were the songs played. The first solo is to Zap Mama - Moonray and the 2nd is to Four Women by Nina Simone which has recently been redone and is on the movie soundtrack of "For Colored Girls"
Love these kinds of modern dances. They're truly unique and fresh. It kinda makes me not want to believe that she has such a lethal case of arthritis :P
They need a side season that is a competition for people who made the top 20 but didn't make the show. They could also make it over 30 to allow some who aged out through auditions.
Hi Gabi- How are you feeling now? I hope all is well.Did you ever audition for the show again? please do, I'd love to see you dance on that show or anywhere to be honest. You are wonderful!.
+Julia Wallace ...but the music stopped, as well as her performance, without any cue from Nigel. It ended exactly when the dancer intended it to. Watch it again...

This is probably my favorite audition ever on SYTYCD. I come back to watch this every so often and it never ceases to mesmerize.
Same
All these years later I keep coming back to this. Sublime.
I absolutely love this. Such a wonderful performer. She has what most auditions lack...She was in character the whole time. Definitely one of my favorite auditions.
Arguably one of the best auditions in SYTYCD history.
For some reason I find myself gavitating back to this clip..........and recharge my batteries.
best audition on sytycd! She didn't impress by kicking her leg up. She was just dancing.
Til this day still one of the best audition. She just danced.
I get chills watching her 2nd performance... stunning.
To the Melanie Moores and All you other top dancers.....Bow your heads to the master and in my opinion The best dancer to ever grace the internet, barring none.

The Most Beautiful Audition In The History Of The Show!
most memorable audition of them all!
Was sucks is that there are a lot of people out there who don't understand the beauty of those solos. I was trying not to cry while watching her.
Gabi, you are such a gorgeous performer. I've watched this video at least 100 times, no joke. I would love to see you perform in the future! There are not enough dancers, I should say artists, like you around!
Gabi, I'm always coming back here to watch you, love everything you do.....You are simply the Best dancer I have ever seen barring none......You are simply compelling watching thankyou.x
So much feeling...wow.. she amazes me. I can watch and watch and never get tired of watching.
God bless...Don't allow anyone to change anything about you.........I hope and pray, one day, I can see you live.
Several years later and I'm still in love with her.
My life is now complete. This clip should be on everyones bucket list. OHMIGOHD she is fantastic
Here in 2021. Love this clip and Gaby Rojas' dancing!
TOP 10 all time best auditions right here forsure!
Miss seeing her dance. Brilliant.
I wish the show would spend more time on the full audition than getting the judges reactions. Excellent performance by Gabi. Magnificnent!
She is my dance teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!
If not to say anything about her dancing; her choice in
music is amazing.
she is absolutely stunning!!
chills.. absolutely breathtaking..
gabi your amazing I have seen this audition video too many times. I never get tired or it, its beautiful.
Its quiet simple really......I want to see more of Gabi Rojas!
She inspires me!!!!

i loved this solo. it made my day! and just like mhss0001 said she is not just another commercial dancer! love love love it!
Thank you so much! Saved me the effort of searching across the vastness that is the internet :)
Inspires me to work harder! shes fabulous and amazing and uughh!! so beautiful
that second piece is so unfreakingbelievable i cant stand it. i wanna watch more of it.
I WANT TO SEE HER COMPLETE THE ROUTINE FOR THIS SONG! I KEEP COMING BACK HERE!
She is such a fabulous dancer, and I love her even more because she chose Nina Simone for that second solo.
This girl made me start to actually watch the show. The little I saw from her was better than some of the best careography on sytycd.
this is so good because she is an artist dancer and not just a commercial dancer
Wow, I really liked that! Really unique,her own kind of style what also showed her flexibility etc. Usually those contemporary dances use the same elements.and usually lot of gymnastics-show elements and they loose the actual dancing, the body movements
still utterly amazing.
The solo was so good. My god.
Mia Michaels said "You are a Prodigy"
woderfull expression ! awesome moviments ! You're my favorite dancer ever ! Kisses from rio de janeiro
Lol, I like that......you keep coming back to see yourself perform.
Wish you a Happy New Year and a great 2013, x
The first performance was beautiful, but the second one blew me away. So inspiring, and authentic.
This is the only time I have ever seen Nigel give a standing ovation......I understand why.
One of the best auditions til this day. She actually dance. She actually told a story. Instead of the same ass dancing with the same ass dance moves of jumping, splits...blah blah blah. Sad she didn't dance on the show. And every year they pick the same ass dancers.....
Exactly. Lost interest in the show for that said reason. 80 pirouettes is not dancing

2024, just need to recharge the batteries.
You are fantastic!
😳 O_O
I saw her at a battle in CO.....didn't know she hit sytycd!
she is my modern teacher!!!!
She's incredible!
@videos4vainglorious It probably changed because of copyright infringements or something but when I watched this live these were the songs played. The first solo is to Zap Mama - Moonray and the 2nd is to Four Women by Nina Simone which has recently been redone and is on the movie soundtrack of "For Colored Girls"
nigel: "i don't really wanna say anymore at this point..." and goes on to blab for another minute
Love these kinds of modern dances. They're truly unique and fresh. It kinda makes me not want to believe that she has such a lethal case of arthritis :P
Her mom is my dance teacher😂😊😁
Star-eyed Starrily mine too:)
They need a side season that is a competition for people who made the top 20 but didn't make the show. They could also make it over 30 to allow some who aged out through auditions.
She's a amazing.

Does anyone have her dance to Four Women?
I hate Nigel for stopping her in dancing! I wanted to see the whole thing!!

Metropolitan Academy of Dance!:D
