Jessica King

Jessica Careen King is a dancer from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. An injury forced her to prematurely leave the competition.

King previously auditioned for So You Think You Can Danc in the third season, but did not make the top 20. She re-auditioned and ultimately made the top 20 for Season 4, where she was paired with contemporary dancer William Wingfield. On July 14, 2008, King suffered a major injury and was forced to bow out of the competition. Her spot was given to Comfort Fedoke, who had been eliminated the previous week.

King is a Visual Arts Major at Coastal Carolina University and has been taking formal dance lessons within various styles including tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop and contemporary since the age of three. On July 30th, 2009, King returned to the show with her former So You Think You Can Dance partner William Wingfield to perform their Emmy nominated routine "Adam and Eve" choreographed by Tyce DiOrio.

She is also backup dancing for Lady Gaga, which can be seen on the 2009 VMA's.
