George Lawrence

Born in San Diego, CA and raised in Atlanta, GA, George Lawrence II began his dance training at a young age, studying a wide range of styles including Contemporary, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Ballet, and Hip-Hop. In 2010, he advanced his technique at Dance Makers of Atlanta, and the following year continued his training at the State University of New York's Purchase Conservatory of Dance.

George’s career took off in 2012 when he earned a spot in the Top 10 on Season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance, leading to a 30-city national tour. At just 19, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his professional dance career—and he hasn’t looked back since.

George’s impressive credits include performances on Dancing with the Stars, the VMAs, the Emmys, and the Academy Awards. He’s appeared in films such as La La Land, Ted 2, Teen Beach 2, Valley Girl, Jersey Boys, and most recently, Spirited alongside Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell, and Octavia Spencer. He also toured with Lorde on her Dance World Tour and served as a dancer and choreographer on FOX’s The Big Leap.
