| Travis Wall, the Emmy-winning choreographer of ''So You Think You Can Dance,'' says: ''So Lara Spencer just called me on my cell phone, she got my number from Debbie Allen, and she is completely horrified and just truly just issued this massive apology,” Wall, 31, told his followers on Saturday night. “I could just hear the horror in her voice.'' Wall adds: “She knows there’s a bunch of us, Broadway and a lot of the ballet community here in New York City, we’re going to 'Good Morning America' on Monday morning and taking ballet classes outside. So she’s aware of it, and she wants to talk to all of us, and she wants to set this thing straight and right. So the dance community is incredible and our voices were heard, which is fantastic. Hooray!” | |

| It was a nice segment ,and I believe that she recognizes the problematic nature of her original carelessness. I hope it gives pause to more people in prominent positions about the comments they make that might unintentionally reinforce outdated stereotypes. Good on her (and GMA) for addressing this beyond the defacto apology. | |

| Didn't love the Instagram apology (it seemed glib), but I enjoyed this. She seemed very clear that she was at fault (none of that "well, sorry if you got offended" crap), and the show set aside time to feature three male dancers. (Wished we'd seen them dance, though!) | |
