Luckily, he was among what might have been the least dance-averse crowd of teenagers in Manhattan: 31 fellow performers from high schools as far away as Yorba Linda, Calif., who came to N.Y.U. on Thursday to compete alongside Stephen for one of two Jimmy Awards, named in honor of the theater producer James M. Nederlander. Winners of the award get a four-year scholarship worth $100,000 to the university’s Tisch School of the Arts, contingent upon their acceptance to N.Y.U.
