Before Waverly Fredericks could take on the stage, he opened up about what dance meant to him. Seeing that his mother performed with the likes of Biggie, Tupac, and LL Cool J, dancing was certainly something he grew up doing. However, he felt as though he had to grow up fast, seeing that when his parents got divorced, he was left to fend for himself, as his mother admitted that his sister and brother needed more help in general. At the age of 7, Waverly struggled to process this change, but dance helped him survive and express himself. Bringing that to the 'SYTYCD' platform, Waverly performed a beautiful contemporary piece that was inspired by breaking cycles and the judges were in absolute awe of his artistry. Fans too, couldn't get enough of his moving performance.
