I entered into this post planning to write something extraordinarily eloquent. But there are no words to do these men justice. There is no eloquence I can convey that does half as much as the eloquence of the stories these men are telling through dance.
Keep in mind, in each of these solos, the men are "dancing for their lives." Not to say SYTYCD executes the dancers who are eliminated from the show via firing squad or anything. But the solos in this show are done when people are at risk of being sent home, and must put it all out there with everything they have, to prove they should stay in the competition.
Nothing breeds more incredible, heartfelt, passionate, beautiful dance than the desire to prove oneself because you have everything to lose.
In closing...
Anyone out there who wants to tell me male dancers are not badasses can feel free to do so after they can replicate even ONE of these solos.
