Out Choreographer Travis Wall and Shaping Sound Slay on Ellen
This number, from Shaping Sounds new show After the Curtain, is mesmerizing.
Ellen DeGeneres is renowned for kicking off her show by dancing, but she sat the dancing out for a show this week to make room for out choreographer and dancer Travis Wall and the cast of Shaping Sound’s After the Curtain.
Wall, who rose to fame as a competitor 11 years ago on So You Think You Can Dance’s second season and subsequently became a choreographer for the show, created the dance company Shaping Sound with Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance, and Kyle Robinson. The piece the company performed on Ellen is from the company's latest show After the Curtain, about “…a man fighting to find his creative voice after the death of his one true love,” according to Shaping Sound’s website.
Wall's had a pretty good year. Besides the excellent exposure on Ellen, in March of 2016, he became engaged to his long-time boyfriend Dom Palange, a gymnastics coach at UCLA.
Here he is with the electrifying cast of Shaping Sound’s After the Curtain.
We could watch this move over and over again.
And this one.
