Dancers bring high energy and captivating performances, choreographed by the incomparable Dancing with the Stars Pro-Dancer Britt Stewart, a true subject matter expert in this field. Ryan Park – who has worked on Broadway productions such as My Fair Lady, The King and I and Fiddler on the Roof – injected red-carpet glamour and excitement with fresh and new haute couture costume design.
