Nick Lazzarini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick Lazzarini (born c. 1985) was the winner of the Fox reality show So You Think You Can Dance's 2005 first season. As the show's winner, he received a $100,000 cash prize and a free one-year lease on a New York City apartment -- which he turned down. He is from Van Nuys, California and is a trained dancer in jazz, lyrical, hip hop, ballet and modern dance styles.
In 2003, Lazzarini, competing as part of a dance group called Hot Under The Collar, appeared on CBS's Star Search remake.
Prior to competing on the Fox reality show, Lazzarini spent two years at the Dance Company of San Francisco and also toured Europe with the RAW dance company, which was founded by choreographer Mia Michaels (one of the judges on "So You Think You Can Dance").
Lazzarini is best friends with Melody Lacayanga, So You Think You Can Dance's first runner up, and the pair have been working out of the Los Angeles area since the show ended.
