William Wingfield
William B. Wingfield (born March 7, 1986) is a dancer from Nashville, Tennessee. He started dancing at the age of 9. He has trained with Debbie Allen. Due to the inclusion of Wingfield in the top 20, Debbie Allen was barred from judging as long as Wingfield remained in the competition. He was voted off of the competition on July 24, 2008, making it to the Top 8. Before competing in So You Think You Can Dance, William was a singer and dancer in Celine Dion's show, A New Day, at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
On July 30, 2009, Wingfield returned to So You Think You Can Dance with fellow Season 4 contestant and partner Jessica King to perform their (at the time) Emmy-nominated piece "Adam and Eve", choreographed by Tyce Diorio. Diorio proceeded to win the Emmy for his choreography. Adam Shankman has described Will as one of four elite dancers to appear on So You Think You Can Dance, along with Travis Wall, Danny Tidwell and Kayla Radomski. In late 2009, Will joined the cast of In The Heights on Broadway, in which he played the role of Graffiti Pete. Will was also featured on the cover of Dance Magazine's January 2010 issue, in their '25-To-Watch' list.
In August 2010, he performed a dance entitled "Duet" on the Web series Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, which was released on Hulu.
Will and fellow Season 4 finalist Katee Shean choreographed and taught the "choreography round" in season 8 audition episodes.
In September 2012, William returned as an All Star on Season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance, partnering Tiffany Maher in a Sonya Tayeh jazz number.
