How’d you like to join the ranks of Les Twins? (Photo by Erin Baiano for Dance Spirit) Quiz time: What do Les Twins, Lil’ Buck, the Syncopated Ladies, Christina Ricucci, Sean Lew and the Control Freakz have in common?

Travis and Denise Wall (courtesy NUVO) Happy Mother’s Day! Go give your mom a hug… …OK, now you can keep reading. Last year to celebrate, we took a look at some of our favorite mother-daughter and mother-son dance duos (like Denise and Travis Wall!). But this year, we’re doing things a little bit differently.
