Since finishing in the Top 8 of So You Think You Can Dance Season 18, Braylon Browner has continued to carve out a dynamic presence both on and off the stage. Currently a sophomore at University of Southern California’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, he’s balancing teaching opportunities at conventions and studios across the country with a growing online fanbase. His improvisational videos, often filmed in Kaufman’s sun-drenched studios, have become viral highlights on Instagram and TikTok. “People message me all the time to say how healing my videos have been for them,” Browner says. “I think they’re drawn to the authenticity of it.”
