FOX's reality competition "So You Think You Can Dance" is losing an Emmy-Award winning choreographer.

Mia Michaels, who has been with the show since the beginning, has decided to move on.

Now in its 6th season, Executive Producer and Judge Nigel Lythgoe tells ET: "We are thrilled to have given a talent such as Mia Michaels a platform to create Emmy Award-winning choreography. During the auditions this season she has helped choose the best, most diverse top 20 we have ever had. She knows that she is always welcome to return later this season or next. She’s chosen to move on to new challenges and we will continue to support her and wish her all the best."

Watch "So You Think You Can Dance" Tuesdays and Wednesdays on FOX.
