The dance company SHAPING SOUND was established in Los Angeles in 2012 with a focus on contemporary dance and choreographic artistry. Under the Artistic Direction of TRAVIS WALL, and co-created with NICK LAZZARINI, TEDDY FORANCE and KYLE ROBINSON, the company is an evocative collaboration by diverse artists who describe themselves as 'visual musicians,' i.e. their dance gives shape and form to sound. The four dancers broke into public awareness in a big way with the debut of the reality television series "All The Right Moves" on the Oxygen channel. The popular series followed these lifelong friends and roommates in their quest to launch their own dance company - the company that is now the enormously successful SHAPING SOUND.

SHAPING SOUND's movement style provides its audience access to, and a greater understanding of contemporary dance through a unique fusion of jazz, modern and hip-hop choreography. With a dynamic mix of energy, emotion and athleticism, the ensemble brings tremendous musicality of movement to each performance. Lauded by the commercial dance world and immensely popular with audiences of all ages, the company members have been showcased on all of America's popular primetime dance, awards, entertainment and music shows including: "So You Think You Can Dance," "Dancing With The Stars," "Glee," "American Idol," "The Voice" and "The 2013 Prime Time Emmy Awards" to name a few. They have toured internationally with an impressive array of the world's top recording artists, and with award-winning dance companies.

Respected by both critics of dance and by the entertainment industry in general, SHAPING SOUND has quickly built an important critical resume and an impressively large fan base. BroadwayWorld.com described the show as: "Electrifying and stunning ... Aficionados of contemporary dance should do everything in their power to attend SHAPING SOUND." And The Advocate said: "Once in a generation there is a group of artists who changes the trajectory of a genre." After a Dallas-area performance, Theatre Jones stated: "The choreography creates a visual effect that is mesmerizing."

The combined resumes of the founding members show an impressive foray into the top echelon of the American entertainment industry:
