Dancer died on SYTYCD?

Question

Who was the female dancer the So You Think You Can Dance judge Nigel was talking about. He talked about it this past show on Wednesday. Nigel had danced with her before and talked about how when they did dance together, she told him not to hold her a certain way because it would leave "dents". Does anybody know who I am talking about? Thank you so much!
