Lacey-Mae Schwimmer, of So You Think You Can Dance fame, was awesome enough to do a little interview with Cool Addict. Always full of energy and hilarious and she likes cupcakes, which warrants her a “Cool Peepz” title. Trust! Find out her favorite music, dance, cupcake flavor, guilty pleasures, and upcoming projects after the jump! Thanks Lacey!
ABOUT
Well, television usually tends to show one side of people. not saying I’m not who I was on So You Think You Can Dance because let me tell you I’m a crazzzzyyy bird! But, I’m actually a real chick. I like doing the most normal boring things such as: Going to the movies, napping, shopping, playing in the park with my pup (KoKo-WouldLikeABone!)
I can’t spell, eat bananas, scream (I don’t have the chords to let me, grr!), juggle, or take cold showers. I CAN pretend to sing, master guitar hero 3 (and all wii games for that matter), make a mean bowl of cereal, touch my nose with my tongue, make an voice (I’m a master at voices, make up my own words/sayings.
INSPIRATION
I’ve never been one to follow a trend or person, art moves people in certain ways, but music has always been my inspiration. It has the ability to make you laugh, cry, love, hate, etc. I don’t think people understand how special music can be.
PROJECTS
I just got home from filming a little ditty with Adam Sandler and Adam Shankman, in Napa, California. It’s a new Disney Movie. I am also a part of a rather large show and workshop with a weekend in Norway and all over the USA this fall. I am also about to be in another movie called The Jump Off with my friend Wayne Brady.
I also have a tubesock line out now!! I am super excited for those! Please support! Oh, I am also cooking cup of noodles!
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN BE FRIENDS?
I live with Shauna Noland. Jaime Goodwin and I are still best friends. I’ve been doing some FOX shows with Danny Tidwell, Sabra Johnson, and Hokuto Konishi. Danny and I hang out often,..he’s so boss!
FAVORITE
If you would have asked me while I was on tour, I would say that the Samba with Danny was my favorite dance to do. Now I miss all of them, even the group numbers! AW SO SAD!
IDOL GIVES BACK
It was great! The theatre we performed at was amazing. I met some really cool people, some I will never forget. I loved that it brought all 3 seasons of So You Think You Can Dance and not to mention having the Idols there, kinda fun energy!
DANCING FRUSTRATION
SWEAT!!
COMPETITION
I have kind of retired in the competition world. I no judge and coach everyone that is competing. It is cool being on the productions side of things actually.
CANDY
It’s a British candy I found a few years ago and can rarely find it here in the States. Aero Mint Chocolate Bar. MMMM!
WORKING WITH SUGAR & BRUNO
Super Duper! I think they tubesocks turned out extremely well. I can’t wait to see whats next!
MOVIE STAR
So all my close friends always tell me I’m a comedian in a dancers body…who isn’t really funny, if that makes sense. I’m the biggest nerd/dork inside, just wrapped in a fake hair, fake tanned body! HAHA! In the movie Just Friends, they always tell me I would be the Popstar!
CHILDHOOD WATCH
I loved The Little Mermaid, Alice in Wonderland, Rend & Stimpy, Kids Incorporated, Salute Your Shorts, Etc.
ONE CUPCAKE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!
It would be the RED VELVET from Doughboys in Hollywood. That was a fast answer! Trust!
GUILTY PLEASURES
Cussing! I have the mouth of a dirty sailor! I need to stop!
TRAVEL
I’ve been traveling since I was six. I’ve been almost everywhere I have wanted to go. I loved Austria!
IPOD
I have SEVEN ipods! Listening to Katy Perry, Cash Cash, The Rocket Summer, Alice in Videoland, Boys Like Girls, Cobra Starship, Jack’s Mannequin, Metro Station, M.I.A., Kanye West, Jurassic 5, Madonna, Tegan and Sara, and Weslev Willis.
LOS ANGELES
Love: There is always something to do!
Hate: The people are all fake!
20th BIRTHDAY
Actually, I am not really a celebrate for Lacey person. I love to party for other people, just not me. It makes me feel selfish! I think I am going to dinner at my favorite restaurant in Hollywood, Koy!
CELEBRITY CRUSH

DANCER’S ADVICE
For me, I had a rough childhood that at times kept me from dancing, but I just kept pushing through the drama in my life and did it because I loved it. I was self taught with everything, until I did So You Think You Can Dance. So a lot of dancers now are far more trained and well, lucky. You guys are so lucky! So they should remember that!

Lacey just seems like such a sweet, down-to-Earth person; you can’t help but like her and want every success to come her way. Great interview!

I love Lacey! Girl you got talent! It seemed like every dance you did [on So You Think You Can Dance] was flawless! And it was because of your contemporary Mia Michaels-choreographed number with Kameron on the first performance show that I had faith in Season 3. Now it’s my favorite season!
Good luck with everything!
