Turns out hoofer Sutton Foster is not the only tap dancer in town when it comes to the set of her hit TV series YOUNGER. The two-time Tony Award winner will be performing with her TV Land co-star Nico Tortorella for four shows in Baltimore, MD from Feb. 18-21. Foster took to Instagram to share photos (at left) and video (below) from the duos rehearsal.

According to Billboard, Tortorella, who portrays Fosters love interest on the series, grew up doing musical theater but never performed professionally. So, when the VIOLET star was in need of a dancing partner, he was excited to step up to the plate.

"He's just one of my favorite people in the world," Foster tells Billboard, "and he's so super game... I think it's his first time ever doing anything like this, and he's so singular and unlike anybody I've ever met. I'm super excited that he's going to be able to join me for it."

YOUNGER follows 40-year old Liza (Sutton Foster), a suddenly single mother who tries to get back into the working world, only to find it's nearly impossible to start at the bottom at her age. When a chance encounter with the sexy Josh (Nico Tortorella), a young tattoo artist, convinces her she looks younger than she is, Liza tries to pass herself off as 26 - with the help of a makeover, courtesy of her best friend Maggie (Debi Mazar).

Armed with new confidence, she lands a job as an assistant to the temperamental Diana (Miriam Shor) and teams up with her new co-worker and 20-something Kelsey (Hilary Duff) to make it in the career of her dreams. Now she just has to make sure no one discovers her secret.

Foster is an award-winning actor, singer and dancer who has performed in 10 Broadway shows and originated roles in the Broadway productions of The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, Young Frankenstein, Shrek the Musical, and her Tony Award-winning performances in Anything Goes and Thoroughly Modern Millie. She was first seen on television on "Star Search" at age 15, and has more recently appeared in "Bunheads" (TV Critics' Choice Award nomination for "Best Actress in a Comedy Series"), "Psych", "Flight of the Conchords", "Law and Order SVU", "Royal Pains", and "Sesame Street".
