By 2011, Chynoweth was traveling to L.A. regularly to audition for dance gigs. She also scored a coveted spot as one of The PULSE on Tour’s 2010/2011 Elite Protégés, touring with top choreographers like Dave Scott, Mia Michaels, Cris Judd, Laurieann Gibson and Brian Friedman. It was Friedman who had the biggest effect on Chynoweth, influencing her stylistic choices, helping her master choreography more quickly and “always pushing me to be better than I was in the last class,” she says.
