There’s nothing more enjoyable than a little competition when it comes to performance, and dance is perhaps one of the visually exciting competitions around.  First premiering in July of 2005, “So You Think You Can Dance” ended its first summer season as the highest rated show on television.

It’s not surprising the show has taken off in a blaze of glory.  “So You Think You Can Dance” was created by the producers of the popular show, “American Idol”.  Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgo seem to be able to hit gold whenever they scout for talent.  The show is currently being produced by nineteen Entertainment and Dick Clark productions.

Similar to the format for American Idol, dancers move through the phases of the competition, performing solo, duet and group number spots in a variety of styles.  The variety includes classical, contemporary, ballroom, hip-hop, street, jazz, and musical theater expressions, with many sub-genres within the categories represented.  They compete for the votes from the judges, which, combined with the viewing audience, determines who will remain to advance from one-step to the next each week.

There is no doubt that watching a live performance can be nothing short of entertaining.  No matter what your dance preferences are, there is something refreshing and appealing in the innovative ways the dancers find in expressing themselves, and the variety keeps your attention riveted as much as the dance interpretations, the fabulous costumes and the skills of the dancers, themselves.

The live shows, hosted by Cat Deeley, are generally sold out, so buying a ticket early for a showing close to your area is a smart strategy.  With the help of award winning choreographers to fill your eyes with dazzling performances, it’s bound to be one of the most remarkable evenings on your entertainment schedule.  “So You Think You Can Dance” received an Emmy award for choreography in 2007 and  2008.  It has also won Emmy’s for Outstanding Costumes for a Musical/ Variety, for Outstanding Lighting Direction and Design, and won the choice TV Break Out Show.  Find out what the fuss is all about and join the marvelous sensation of viewing the best in talented dancers live.  Tickets are available from November 27 to December 5 to wrap up another great season of talent among those who know they can dance.
