Break the Floor Productions was founded in 1999 by Gil Stroming. What began as a dance workshop launched into a full-scale dance touring production. Over the years, Break the Floor has expanded to host dance conventions, educator summits, and festivals while continuing its workshop classes, original tours, photo and video productions, and more.
Wall began his career as a child actor in the 2000 Broadway revival of The Music Man. He cites his experience with the Meredith Willson classic, under the direction of Susan Stroman, as an influence on his work to this day. He broke through as a competitor on So You Think You Can Dance in Season 2 before going on to choreograph for the reality dance competition for 14 seasons, earning nine Emmy nominations. Today, he is a resident choreographer on the show and a guest judge.
He made his New York choreographic debut with MCC Theater’s The Wrong Man.
