Travis Wall On 'So You Think You Can Dance'

Travis Wall, just one of the Emmy-nominated So You Think You Can Dance choreographers, took a break from the dance competition’s 11th season to speak to uInterview about his tear-jerking choreography. Wall, 26, first competed on season 2 of SYTYCD when he was 18, and returned as a choreographer for season 5 in 2009. Outside of SYTYCD, Wall teaches dance and started his own dance company, Shaping Sound.

Wall has quickly become a fan-favorite choreographer, and is equally popular among contestants, who go to him looking for advice. “They ask for advice, like, ‘What do I do after the show?’ I think the contestants are excited to get to work with me because of the experience I’ve had on the show,” Wall told uInterview.

Though Wall tends to stay off the SYTYCD stage, he performed his piece, "Wicked Game," alongside season 10 winner Amy Yakima in 2013, earning himself his forth Emmy nomination. Read what he has to say about returning to the live stage, choreographing the show’s first contemporary ballet piece and what he thinks about making viewers cry.
