ABOUT TRAVIS: Travis Wall began dancing at the age of three at his mother’s dance studio in Virginia Beach, Virginia. At 12, he was already Broadway-bound, cast in the show The Music Man. Wall first appeared as a contestant in 2006 on So You Think You Can Dance’s 2nd season when he was 18. He blew away the judges and viewers alike, walking away with a 2nd place finish.  In fact, Wall danced in a Mia Micheals choreographed piece “The Bench” that later won Michaels the Emmy for “Outstanding Choreography.”   In 2009, Wall returned to the show, this time as a choreographer for the contestants. In the past 2 years, he has created some of the most unforgettable routines in So You Think You Can Dance history. In 2011, Wall was honored to receive an Emmy Award nomination for his work on season 7.
ABOUT LAUREN: Nicknamed “LoFro” and “Frodie” by her friends in Phoenix, AZ, Lauren Froderman has been dancing since age 3. Years of dedication and training paid off in a big way when at age 18, she was voted “America’s Favorite Dancer” and became one of the youngest contestants to win on the hit reality show So You Think You Can Dance in its 7th season. Her expertise lies in contemporary jazz but it was her ability to quickly learn and perfect a wide variety of challenging dance styles that proved to win over the hearts of not only the panel of judges but of thousands of fans across the globe.

ABOUT KAYLA: Also hailing from a contemporary jazz background, dancer Kayla Radomski is an incredibly gifted performer who became part of the top 20 dancers in the fifth season of So You Think You Can Dance. Kayla was adored by fans and judges over the duration of the season, especially Nigel Lythgoe, who requested a repeat performance of the memorable piece titled “Addiction,” which she did in fact perform at the live finale with partner Kūpono.
