It’s safe to say that choreographer Tessandra Chavez is a living dance legend. Not only has she offered her knowledge as a teacher at countless dance studios and conventions around the world, but her work has graced the stages of nearly every dance TV show you can think of, from “So You Think You Can Dance” […]
Our favorite season? Awards season, of course! Congratulations to the six choreographers who received Emmy nominations for their fabulous television work. This year, the Emmys thought outside the usual “So You Think You Can Dance” and “World of Dance” box, and we’re delighted to see some of our fave choreographers getting recognition. Here are all […]
“Mister Travis Wall,” as Cat Deeley would say, has had one heck of an epic “So You Think You Can Dance” journey.
