"So You Think You Can Dance" costumes?

Who actually picks the costumes for the dancers? Do the dancers themselves pick the costumes? Do the choreographers? Or do they pick from a set of costumes? Only reason I ask is because the judges seem to critique the the dancers for the costumes a lot, but if they don't have a choice, is that really fair?

(I am asking on behalf of my wife who loves the show.)

    I know the performers go to wardrobe and make-up and get done-up by the show. However their wardrobe for the intro is their own I believe. Also, it IS a t.v. show, where things that are said can entertain or stir people up, ratings are a factor, it's not solely a talent show, unfortunately.

    I still watch it though :D

    I know I've mastered the ability to walk, talk and read. There's nothing much left to learn in these fields, and I can do it all with complete ease. Doesn't mean I never stub my toe, slur a few words, or stumble on a sentence now and then, but I've reached a point where it's completely causal. I'm not an olympic sprinter, or a public speaker, or a speed reader -- those are all entirely separate skills -- but what I learned is plenty to get through life. I never forget that the martial arts are called an art, whether or not that's an Eastern interpretation, but in the West this does have a purpose. An art couldn't be something you perfect. Music, painting and sculpting all have near limitless potential, but stages of development that you would have to "master" to get better. A black belt, as we've explained before on here, is about having a firm understanding of the fundamentals, or "All basic movements and techniques, can be applied with extended force and proper application in basic combination." The key words here would be "all basic movements and techniques" and "extended force and proper application". I would say there is a mastery of having LEARNED the requirements and KNOW how to put them to use, just not anything further from the basics. I think people go a little too far with the word, using it mostly erroneously, but the intent of comfortably and casually using what you've learned is what they're all implying. As for the martial arts as a whole, that I believe is impossible, especially as an art.

    Wardrobe and Make up.. these wardrobe and make up people forget that the costume plays a role in the performance, I have no clue how some of them dance in those outfits. Like Phillips pants ripped last week because he was in dress pants, not even white dance pants or stretch pants. Someone this week was in an alien costume with TIN FOIL!!!!!! I don't blame Nigel for mentioning he didnt like it, tin foil don't bend with you, I was suprised it didnt break.
