CS4U: The So You Think You Can Dance Tour is finally coming to Los Angeles this Wednesday! What are you guys most excited for this week?

Zack: “I’m really excited to perform at the Nokia Theatre. I’ve never been to a show or performed there but I’ve heard a lot about it — it’s a huge theatre!”

Carly: “I’m really excited to perform there as well! A lot of So You Think You Can Dance alumni are coming too, so it will be really fun to meet everyone and have them watching in the audience.”

CS4U: How has life been on the road?

Zack: “It’s been a blast. It’s really tiring sometimes, but we are all able to do what we love so it’s incredible.”

CS4UWhat can fans expect from the So You Think You Can Dance Live Tour when they come to L.A. Live this Wednesday?

Carly: “We’re doing a ton of dances from the show and also some never-before-seen numbers, so the fans can expect a ton of high energy and a wonderful night of dance.”

CS4U: Could you tell our readers at home why they should go see the show?

Zack: “If you’re a fan of the show, then you’ll love the live performance. What it basically is is So You Think You Can Dance coming to life on stage and you’re right in front watching it in person. Even if you have never seen the SYTYCD on TV, it’s two hours of incredible dancing.”

CS4U: Since our website is called CelebSecrets4U, can you share one secret about touring that our fans wouldn’t know?

Carly: “Before every show, we do a shake off. We all get together and chant a countdown “10 ,2, 3, 4 – 9, 2, 3, 4,” and so on. We go down the line and shake off until we get to 1 and then its time to perform!”
