About Comfort
Fresh off her role in "Footloose" (and appearance on Dancing With The Stars to promote the film), we are pleased to welcome Comfort back to JAMZ. Comfort Ogheneruro Fedoke was born in Fort Worth, Texas and was raised in Lagos, Nigeria until she returned to the United States at age 8. She lived in Plymouth, Minnesota for three years before settling in Carrollton, Texas. Fedoke, a former track and field athlete, began dancing after an injury forced her out of the competitive sports scene. She learned hip hop dancing from watching videos and then began to session with her brothers to further hone her craft. Her father enrolled her in Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts midway into her sophomore year, where she received training in tap, ballet, and jazz. She only had two and a half years of training before making it on the show So You Think You Can Dance. She auditioned with two of her brothers and eventual winner Joshua Allen. She was featured in Lee Jung Hyun's music video for "Crazy", which was released in Korea in May 2009 and was choreographed by Brian Friedman, and later seen in T-Pain's video "Freeze" and in Ludacris's "What Them Girls Like". In 2009 she performed uncredited as a reform school girl in the "Bootylicious" number in the "Hairography" episode of the television show Glee. She was cast in Season 7 of SYTYCD as an All-Star. Comfort is set to appear in "Honey 2" and recently was in the remake of "Footloose." This will be Comfort's second appearance at JAMZ, after she was a faculty member of our week long summer intensive "So You Think You Can JAMZ."
