Comfort Fedoke: Hip Hop Teacher
Comfort was raised in Lagos, Nigeria until she returned to the United States at the age of 8. She lived in Plymouth, Minnesota for three years before settling in Carrolton, Texas. As a child, she competed in beauty pageants.

Comfort, a former track and field athlete, began dancing after an injury forced her out of the competitive sports scene. She learned hip hop dancing from watching Michael and Janet Jackson music videos and then began to session with her brothers to further hone her craft. At 13, she battled crews as a street dancer with her brothers. Her father enrolled her in Booker T. Washington School of the Performing Arts in Dallas, Texas midway into her sophomore year, where she received training in tap, ballet, and jazz. There she danced in the local television show "Dallas Dance Club 21." She only had two and a half years of training before auditioning for season 4; she auditioned with two of her brothers.
