www.sammysmith.com Music video and single NOW AVAILABLE on iTunes. Briana Evigan: Star of “Step Up 2 The Streets” to raise funds for inner city kids and their aspirations “I Don’t Think When I Dance” is the name of an exciting new video project from film star Briana Evigan and director Sammy Smith. The music video involves underprivileged kids from South Central Los Angeles who met Evigan when she taught at their special dance classes. Through sales of the recently completed video, which stars many of these same kids, Evigan and Smith hope to raise money and donate a portion of the proceeds to two organizations dedicated to the advancement and betterment of young kids in the US — The Urban Entertainment Institute (www.urbanent.org) and Oprah’s Angel Network (www.oprahsangelnetwork.org). In 2005, Evigan played a “wannabe actress” in Sammy Smith’s “Something Sweet” music video for Jason Evigan, Briana’s brother (their father is television actor Greg Evigan, from “BJ and the Bear” and “My Two Dads”). Although she played a supporting role, Briana caught the attention of Smith. Following the shoot, Smith visited Briana’s dance class in South Central where she taught as part of a charity program through UEI. UEI gives teens and young adults practical and working knowledge and training in all areas of the entertainment industry.

This was just a project I had to do for my class. It was for fun, so please don’t be too critical. I only had Windows movie maker, 1/2 a week and the school’s shitty camera to do this. Oh btw, can you guess which one is me?? -Jess

Chelsea Latimer from social dance site JigTV.com got to spend some time talking with Travis Wall, runner-up in the 2006 season of So You Think You Can Dance. During the interview they talked about Wall’s beginnings in a dancing family, his career, and his future plans.
Wall is a contemporary dancer and dance choreographer who offers online dance lessons at JigTV.com. Travis spoke of his time on So You Think You Can Dance, saying “Honestly, it’s what every dancer could possibly imagine. It’s pretty awesome.” He pointed out that he great thing about the show is that the dancers are the stars, rather than being merely a part of the background. Travis mentioned that during the show’s followup tour the audience was screaming his name when he was dancing, a phenomenon most dancers never experience.
When asked about his favorite dance from the show, he said “The bench dance was definitely my favorite because it was the first time I did contemporary on the show, and I think people kinda didn’t know what I was about until I did that.” He also spoke of his appreciation for Wade Robson and Mia Micheals, two of the So You Think You Can Dance choreographers.
Travis Wall got his beginnings in his mother’s dance studio growing up. He said that even though it was tough on his family financially, it allowed him an exposure to dance from such a young age that he didn’t know where he would be otherwise. Chelsea asked Travis about taking over his mother’s studio one day, and he said that while it wasn’t something he wanted to do right away, he thinks he would eventually become more involved.
Wall spoke of dancing with his adopted brother Danny Tidwell, indicating that he had always looked up to Danny as the kind of dancer he wanted to be. It was cool for Travis to have Danny come into So You Think You Can Dance in the 2007 season, also achieving runner-up position.
Wall ended by saying he thought that dancers should look for inspiration wherever they could, “Just keep renewing yourself. If you get bored with one thing, find a way to make it happy. You always have to find that new energy in life that’s going to keep you going.”

Blake Mcgrath Talks to Jigtv.com About His Time on Dancelife and so You Think You Can Dance

Chelsea Latimer from social dance site JigTV.com got to spend some time talking with Blake McGrath, contestant in the 2005 season of So You Think You Can Dance and star on MTV’s DanceLife. McGrath is a hip hop dancer and dance choreographer who offers online hip hop dance classes and instructional videos on JigTV.
Blake McGrath was one of the stars of DanceLife, an MTV reality show about the lives of professional dancers. He spoke fondly of his time on the show, saying that he felt the show represented him well, as well as being good about giving him a heads up about when they were going to be filming and not intruding too much on his personal life. “They just kind of followed us around,” Blake said, “And it got to show what dancers really go through to make it in the business.”
When asked if he kept up with any of the other stars from the DanceLife, he said Kenny Wormald and Michelle Maniscalco are some of his best friends, and that Kenny actually teaches some classes with Blake.
Blake said his time on So You Think You Can Dance taught him a lot because he had to dance in a lot of different styles that he wasn’t used to. “I definitely learned a lot” he said, “I had to be very versatile in a lot of different styles.” He said he likes to take dance classes in styles that he’s not familiar with, even though his primary style is hip hop, to make his dancing more dynamic.
While Blake is a dancer, he is currently focusing on singing, and is producing an album. He said he has always been able to sing well, so it was just a natural progression for him to make an album. He described his musical style as “soulful R&B pop” with dancing incorporated.
Blake maintains that one of the most important things to remember in the life of a professional dancer is to keep your head on straight. He said that the lifestyle is fast and can be draining, so remaining grounded is important. Blake thinks that continuing his dance education by learning new dance styles and moves is extremely helpful. Blake closed the interview by suggesting that dancers remain focused on their goals and keep a tight circle of friends for support.To watch the full interview, check out JigTV.com.
