Waverly Fredericks was on the verge of quitting dance when Chanel DaSilva invited the LaGuardia Performing Arts High School freshman to audition for the inaugural cohort of Young Professionals. Standing 6-foot-2, he’d been told that he looked too awkward and was “too big” to be a dancer.

When they first met at age 10 in rehearsals for a church dance pageant, Nigel Campbell was the pudgy newcomer and Chanel DaSilva the experienced star. When he was teased, she became his ally and encouraged him to join her afterschool dance class. It was the start of a beautiful friendship.
