Dance And Dance>>So You Think You Can Dance>>Season 4
Dancers
audition for a ticket to Vegas. During
season one, the 50 top dancers were
assigned to groups, each of which spent time working
with five different choreographers
for a week, at the end of which the choreographers
chose the top 16. Every season after
the first has been of a format where the competitors
at the Vegas callbacks dance choreography
in front of the judges who pick the top 20
based on their performances.
Pr.Schwimmer
almost did not make the show's top 20--he was officially
first-runner-up dancer in case any
of the male dancers ran into unforeseen difficulties
prior to the start of filming. As it happened, for
the second year in a row, Hokuto "Hok"
Konishi was unable to get his visa cleared to work
in the US in time for the first taping, and he was
cut. Schwimmer came in and proceeded
to routinely wow the judges and the
audience on the way to victory.
Auditions for Season
4 began in Texas on January
17th and took place in six locations
through March 2008.
The show kicked off its two hour season premiere on
May 22,2008.
Cat Deeley
returned as host and Nigel Lythgoe
and Mary Murphy as permanentjudges.
The prize for the winner was again $250,000
cash, the title of "America's Favorite Dancer"
and an offer for a role in Step Up 3D.
In the finale, viewers voted Joshua Allen
as the overall winner, while Katee
Shean was given a surprise award of $50,000>
for being the top female dancer.
