"Dance Spirit is thrilled to feature Lauren on the November 2010 cover!" says Kate Lydon, editor in chief. "I am especially proud of Lauren because we first featured her in October 2007 as part of a story on five 'up and coming' dancers. As 'America's Favorite Dancer' she certainly fulfilled our expectations. I would also like to commend Nigel Lythgoe and the SYTYCD team for bringing all styles of dance into our living rooms on a weekly basis. We can't wait for next season!"
