"So You Think You Can Dance" Season 2 runner-up Travis Wall has choreographed for the Oscars, is a two-time Emmy nominee and now he's the star of his own reality show on Oxygen, "All the Right Moves." Oh, and he's only 24.
Travis went from being a contestant to a choreographer on "Sytycd" before starting his own dance company, Shaping Sound -- which is the subject of "All the Right Moves" -- with fellow "Sytycd" alum (and Season 1 winner) Nick Lazzarini, as well as Teddy Forance and Kyle Robinson. The four friends and roommates "work together, have their lives taped ... and start getting real" on the new series, which premiered on July 31.
"All the Right Moves" returns this week (Tues., Aug. 21, 10 p.m. Et on Oxygen) with its second episode, which will continue to follow Travis, Nick, Teddy, Kyle and the rest of the dancers in the fledgling Shaping Sound company (including...

All The Right Moves is basically like So You Think You Can Dance: The College Years. Except, unlike the defunct Saved By The Bell spin-off, Oxygen's new reality show is really good. And for more reasons than simply seeing many of your favorite Sytycd alums (Travis Wall, Nick Lazzarini, Allison Holker, Robert Roldan, Melanie Moore, Jaimie Goodwin and Channing Cooke for starters) dancing in the newly formed Shaping Sounds company.
At its core, Atrm is a story of friendship and watching those bonds strengthen through adversity. A tribulation which plays heavily into tonight's episode as the fallout from last week's Travis-gate (let's call it) is a major centerpiece. I caught up with Nick Lazzarini to talk about that bombshell, what it means for the boys moving forward and what it's been like to live his life in front of the cameras once again!

"So You Think You Can Dance" eliminated another two dancers this week, eighteen-year-old Channing Cooke and twenty-three-year-old Brooklyn native Kevin Hunte. The judges weren't impressed with their performances and they also failed to connect with audiences.
For her last performance, Cooke performed a quirky number choreographed by Tyce Diorio to Bobby McFerrin's "Blackbird," which might have been too quirky for America. "Tyce was trying to do something different and go with a different kind of music," Cooke said. "Everyone has their own opinions. I thought the song was cool and different and I think the show needs something like that. You have to throw yourself into what the choreographer asks you to do."
But as long as the dancers are voted on by viewers, "Sytycd" remains a popularity contest. Cooke felt she didn't have enough time to shine. "I guess I would've gotten my face in the camera a...

"So You Think You Can Dance" cut two more last night, dwindling the Top 20 to 12.
Certainly, it wasn't all that surprising to see Kevin/Karen and Channing/Victor in the bottom three, but the presence of Mollee and Nathan -- who fully redeemed themselves this Tuesday with a solid performance -- proves that the voting audience really does listen to what the judges say, as Nigel Lythgoe was quite critical of the two of them last week.
But, in the end, Mollee and Nathan had nothing to worry about, because the judges sent hip hop dancer Kevin Hunte and contemporary dancer Channing Cooke home. So why were they cut?
Nigel -- who hasn't been shy with his criticism of the "dance for your life" solos performed thus far -- ponders fan backlash as far as Nathan is concerned in his clip below, but he also shares his thoughts on the...

Seems like the injury curse has moved from Dancing with the Stars to So You Think You Can Dance. First it was Billy Bell's bloody nose, then Pauline Mata's yucky ankle injury, then Billy Bell's mystery illness, Noelle's knee injury, last week Victor Smalley required 5 stitches after partner Channing Cooke "pecked' him too hard, and now we have word that Mollee Gray has been injured.
The bubbly teenager just tweeted that she's been the latest to fall victim to the curse. See for yourself:...

This morning I had the pleasure of speaking with Channing Cooke, the latest dancer to be eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance. I'm no psychologist, but based on Channing's tone and short answers, it would seem she's just as upset and confused about her elimination last night as the rest of us are.
Here's what she had to say about her partnership with Victor, the Blackbird routine, and what she wishes she'd done different during her time on So You Think You Can Dance.

Whether his delivery was too harsh or not, it seems the majority of So You Think You Can Dance contestants got Nigel Lythgoe’s message loud and clear last week when he said he was "angry" after elimination night's solos. "The show was an improvement from last week [and] the solos were an improvement from last week," Adam Shankman told People backstage Wednesday night. "It’s kicking in now." Despite Mollee and Nathan's jazz number, which People.com blogger tWitch said demonstrated they "had chemistry and were so on point with each other," the couple still ended up in the bottom three.

Tonight on So You Think You Can Dance we learned that while a remarkable solo can save a dancer in danger, a totally terrible solo won't necessarily get you sent home if you have already banked enough "star moments" and sex appeal in the minds of the judges. We've got the scoop from behind the scenes at Sytycd that reveals why a "very good" dancer went home in place of the dancer with one of the most unchoreographed and random solos in recent memory... Channing Cooke and Kevin Hunte were eliminated this week, despite a disastrous solo by Karen Hauer and last week's extended lecture from executive producer Nigel Lythgoe on how the performers always need to dance as if their lives depend on...
