So You Think You can Dance

“So You Think You Can Dance” is a television show featuring some of the best up-and-coming dancers the United States has to offer, and for popularity it has been beaten only perhaps by “American Idol,” arguably FOX’s most successful reality show of the 21st century.

Like its singing counterpart, it  begins with auditions by potential contestants in front of a panel of judges. These dancers offer the judges, and later live audiences, a tantalizing mix of classical and contemporary dance moves, first on their own, then choreographed by some of the brightest minds in show business today.

The names Joshua Allen, Stephen "Twitch" Boss, Katee Shean, Sabra Johnson, and Danny Tidwell may not stir the hearts of some, but their names continue to develop a following in one of the oldest, and most evolving, worlds out there – dance!
