The "All the Right Moves" Stars Sound Off

T-minus two weeks until the premiere of “All the Right Moves” on Oxygen! Us DS editors were lucky enough to get our hands on a preview copy of the first episode of the dance reality show—starring Travis Wall, Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance, Kyle Robinson and the other members of Shaping Sound—and we can assure you that it’s packed with all the amazing dancing (and drama) you’re hoping for. (It also, by the way, features a cameo by Editor in Chief Alison Feller’s arm, from the footage the show’s crew shot at our photo shoot with Shaping Sound.)

Travis, Nick, Teddy and Kyle, who live together as well as dance together in L.A., did a conference call on Monday to discuss the show. They were, of course, their usual awesome, outspoken selves. Here are some of the highlights.

[When asked what they’ve learned about each other from living together:]

Nick:
With Kyle, I learned that he’s…very handy. I mean, the first week he moved into our house, he literally fixed everything that was wrong in it. It was incredible. It was like having Tim “The Toolman” Taylor in our house.

[On the dynamic of two straight guys living with two gay guys:]

Travis:
We don’t even think about it, because it’s our life and it’s been our lives. This is who we are and this is who we’ve always been. Our sexuality has never ever been a factor in our relationship.

Kyle:
I mean, they know that I’m straight and they respect that. Do they crack jokes and everything? Yes, all the time. They’re always like—you know, grabbing at me. But, you know, you fend them off and then you’re like, “All right, come on.”

Nick:
Kyle, I’ve never grabbed you before.

Kyle:
Oh no, never, Nick.

[Their advice for aspiring dancers:]

Teddy:
Have your own voice. Give that style and that flavor—find your own creative juices. All of [Shaping Sound’s] dancers can take the stage and be amazing.

Travis:
Train, train, train. Take your ballet seriously. Do everything technically that you can do to make your body better….We also look for that something special. All the girls that dance in our company, especially—they sparkle. They’re really cool girls, and that comes across in their dancing.

Kyle:
And it helps if you can get the leg up.

Tune in for the first episode of “All the Right Moves” on July 31 at 9/8c!
