“The last dance is extra special to me,” Ubeda says. “I think it’s so awesome to be able to tour the country and spread such an important message.”

The tour hits more than 70 cities including Ubeda’s hometown Miami. a special moment for him. “I felt so accomplished and like I had made everyone in that room proud, and myself proud,” he says. “I had goosebumps all over when I got a standing ovation after my solo.”

Ubeda took the top prize in season 11 with popular dances “Skin and Bones” and “The Vow,” helping him when over the show’s judges and millions of viewers. He has since found numerous career opportunities, thanks in part to the show.

“I was just so overwhelmingly grateful for the whole experience the show had to offer me, and now I feel like I have a lot more gratitude in my everyday life,” Ubeda says. After the tour, Ubeda will join the cast of “On The Town” on Broadway in New York City in March.

In addition to Ubeda’s routines, SYTYCD fans can look forward to Valerie Rockey, who tap danced her way to fame on the show. Rockey is the only tapper of the group allowing her to shine a light on a unique dance community and gain valued life lessons.

“I’ve learned that there’s always something to improve on,” Rockey says. “I’ve been trying really hard to improve every single show.”

She said in this process she has grown really close to her fellow dancers and though living out of a suitcase is difficult, nothing takes away from the bonding experience she’s had.

After months of  sweating, working and laughing together, Ubeda said the group has become more than friends.

“Touring with the finalists has already been something I know I’ll never forget,” he says. “It’s like the show, minus the stress and pressure because you’re dancing for all the people that supported you on your journey and are genuinely just there to see you succeed. And don’t even get me started on the 14 dancers … they are my family.”
