So, You Think You Can Dance?


by Lindsay White


Yes, they certainly can! You may have seen this hit television show on Fox sometime between May and July and it is now in its eighth season. If you have never seen the show, it is all about dance. The audition process starts in October and goes until March. The judges tour all around the country to see who will be America’s favorite dancer. Once they send the best dancers from each city to Vegas, the real competition starts. The top ten guys and the top ten girls are picked to compete and each week 2 contestants are eliminated.


The show is now on tour with contestants from season 7, season 6 and All-stars from all of the other seasons! The contestants on tour include season 7 winner Lauren Froderman, and season 6 winner Russell Ferguson. Other contestants of season 7 on tour include Robert Roldan, Kent Boyd, Ashley Galvan, AdéChiké Torbert, Billy Bell, and José Rulz.


This season, there was a spin put into the competition. Dancers from other seasons were paired with the new contestants. The alumni are called All-stars. The All-stars that went on tour are Ade Obayomi, Alison Holker, Courtney Galiano, Kathryn McCormick, and Dominic Sandoval. Since these dancers already had their turn in the competition, it is their job to make sure they help their partner look good.


Tune in to the Fox Channel next year to see if your favorite dancer will be America’s favorite as well. If you are really looking for a challenge, audition yourself!
