By:

Matt Dorame, Season 4 finalist on Fox TV's "So You Think You Can Dance," joined the cast of iLUMINATE on April 2nd at New World Stages. The new 2014 edition of iLUMINATE opened on January 27th to unanimous rave reviews, led by The New York Times who dubbed the Off-Broadway hit "Spectacular, magical and dazzling!" iLuminate wowed the nation with their groundbreaking light suits and innovative dance moves on NBC's "America's Got Talent," where the dance-in-the-dark sensation was selected as one of the hit show's top finalists after judge Piers Morgan called them "The Best New Act in America!"

Music, art, dance, and the technological magic of iLuminate brings this extraordinary spectacle to the New York stage, combining mythical elements with adventure and romance, told through dance styles which include contemporary, hip-hop, Latin, and breaking, all using the power of light.

In addition to his sensational appearances on "So You Think You Can Dance," Matt Dorame toured internationally with Los Angeles Classical Ballet, Odyssey Dance Theatre and Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, and he was a principal dancer on MTV's "The American Mall" starring Nina Dobrev.
