America's favorite summer series, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, has kept viewers amazed and inspired as talented dancers skilled in everything from Hip Hop, Krumping and Popping to Salsa, Quickstep and Jive compete to be named America's Favorite Dancer.
Hosted by Cat Deeley, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE traveled across the country to Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, New York, Los Angeles and Miami, in search of dancers who represent the best in America. Those who shine during auditions are given a ticket to Las Vegas for callbacks, where they work with top choreographers to learn and then be judged on multiple styles of dance.
There were many fun twists during Season Seven, beginning with the selection of only 11 contestants (six guys and five girls) instead of the usual Top 20. Additionally, the competitors partnered each week with a different SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE All-Star dancer - former SYTYCD finalists skilled in various dance styles. The Season Seven All-Star Dance Partners were Stephen "tWitch" Boss, Comfort Fedoke, Courtney Galiano, Anya Garnis, Lauren Gottlieb, Neil Haskell, Allison Holker, Mark Kanemura, Pasha Kovalev, Kathryn McCormick, Ade Obayomi and Dominic "D-trix" Sandoval.
Lauren Froderman (LoFro) was the last girl standing among a sea of strong male dancers and she danced off with a $250,000 cash prize and the well-deserved title of America's Favorite Dancer.
Choreographers Mia Michaels and Wade Robson were honored with Emmy Awards in Season Two, while Robson won an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography again the following year for his work on Season Three. Additionally, Shane Sparks and Mandy Moore earned nominations in the same category. In 2009, choreographers Tabitha Dumo, Napoleon Dumo, Mia Michaels, Tyce Diorio and Dmitry Chaplin were honored with Emmy nominations for Outstanding Choreography, and Diorio won the award. Mia took home an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography in 2010 for her compilation of work during Season Five and Season Six. Additionally, costume designer Soyon An won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Costumes for a Variety/Music Program or Special two years in a row.
