Macy's Stars of Dance 2012 - Dwts season 14 - Travis wall, kenny wormald, twitch, misha gabriel

[TECHNO MUSIC] MISHA GABRIEL: Macy's Stars of Dance is a special performance that Dancing with the Stars puts on featuring different choreographers and different performances, different styles of dance. And this is my first time choreographing, so I'm pretty excited. TRAVIS WALL: This is my fifth Stars of Dance dancing in, actually. I choreographed two of them, and this is the third one I've danced in. Misha danced in my last Stars of Dance that I did. And I put him with a bunch of contemporary dancers. And so he gave me an opportunity and put me with a bunch of hip hop dancers, actually the best hip hop dancers in LA. KENNY WORMALD: This is a style that we've all been doing for years. So we're grateful to be able to do it on the show now. Because Dancing with the Stars, I don't think, has ever had anything particularly like just this style. I call it Fred Astaire with Jordans on. MISHA GABRIEL: We've got a little bit of everything. Little bit of house, little bit of locking, little bit of popping, little bit of Michael Jackson influence, little bit of jazz influence, a fusion of all styles, which is kind of how I dance. And the world of dance I've been brought up in, that's kind of what we're trying to portray. TRAVIS WALL: Dancing with the Stars is only showcasing one style of dance, which is ballroom. And I feel that Stars of Dance is the moment where it can bring in hip hop, it can bring in contemporary, it can bring in a ballet company, it can bring in specialty acts that not necessarily Middle America always sees. Ballroom dancing. But Dancing with the Stars is the number one dance television show. And for them to showcase this on top of the results shows, which do bring in the number 2 spot of the week, I think it's awesome for people to see this kind of dancing. MISHA GABRIEL: It's like an all-star team of dancers. You've got Travis Wall, who is my roommate, also a choreographer I really respect. You got Bryan Tanaka, you got Nick Bass, you got Kenny Wormald, the lead star of Footloose. It's just the all-star team. TRAVIS WALL: The music's perfect. The choreography is unbelievable. And especially with the supporting cast we have, it's literally going to blow people away.
