Dareian Kujawa

Dareian is a contemporary dancer from St. Paul, Minnesota. Check out his profile video below:

• Apparently, despite the hometown being named as St. Paul, Dareian actually claims to be from Boulder City, Nevada.
• He has a very jazzy, almost hip-hop style of contemporary dance there.
• It's probably not shameful to be unfamiliar with Bollywood on So You Think You Can Dance. No one knows it well.
• I assume the show will be telling us much more about Dareian's tough start as the season goes on...

George Lawrence II

George is a contemporary dancer from Decatur, Georgia. Check out his profile video below:

• The piano music should be enough to indicate "emotional" without talking about it. That's some seriously dramatic piano music.
• It's fun to hear about performers having stage fright. Makes me feel better about that kind of thing.
• "I auditioned to... expose myself." Taken out of context, that sounds terrible. Almost as terrible as a person (like me) who chooses to comment on such things...

Matthew Kazmierczak

Matthew is a contemporary dancer from Peoria, Arizona. Check out his profile video below:

• He started when he was 16? Wow, do I ever feel like a slacker now...
• That posing inside the giant box is really cool.
• That may be the most humble-sounding "I want to win!!!" ever.

Will Thomas

Will is a contemporary dancer from Troy, Michigan. Check out his profile video below:

• I wonder if he is really a bit of a clown in real life or if this is just the persona the show wants for him?
• Will seems younger than many of the dancers. He's not. He just seems that way.
• Detroit sounds like a very enthusiastic place.
• Considering the insistence on "I'm me" at the end, I'll guess he really is a bit of a clown.
