About So You Think You Can DanceHosted by Cat Deeley, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE continues to keep viewers amazed and inspired as amateur dancers compete in everything from Hip-Hop, Krumping and Popping to Salsa, Quickstep and Jive to be named America's favorite dancer.
In Season Five, producers once again traveled across the country to Denver, Los Angeles, Memphis, Miami and Seattle in search of dancers who represent the rhythm of America. Those who sparked the judges' interest during auditions were invited to call-backs, where they worked with top choreographers such as Tabitha Dumo, Napoleon Dumo, Tyce Diorio, Lil C, Debbie Allen and Mia Michaels to learn, and then be judged, on a particular style of dance. During the call-back week, the judges chose the Top 20 dancers who continued in the competition.
In the performance round, the 20 finalists dance for America's votes, and each week the six contestants comprising the bottom three couples are given a chance to perform solo routines to encourage viewers to keep them on the show. Then the judges decide which dancers stay in the competition and which two are eliminated.
Once the series is down to the Top 10 finalists, it's solely up to America to decide who remains in the competition. Following the performance shows, viewers can vote for their favorite couples. The live results shows reveal who keeps dancing and who goes home.
Emmy-winning SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and Dick Clark Productions, Inc. It is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.
