Show formats
The typical season of You Think You Can Dance is divided between the selection process, in which the expert decides to choose a competitor from many applicant dancers, and the competition phase, where the 'finalists' (more commonly referred to as' Top 20 ') compete for votes from home viewers. Though produced for months, the selection phase is highly edited and usually consists of only the first 2-4 weeks of broadcast episodes, with episodes of competition making up the remaining 8-9 weeks of the season.
Open audition
The open audition, the first stage in determining the season finalists, takes place in 5-6 major US cities each season and is usually open to anyone aged 18-30 at the time of their audition. Cities where auditions are held change from season to season but some, like Los Angeles and New York, have been featured in most of the season. During this stage, dancers perform a short routine (usually solo, but duets and group routines are allowed too) before a dance expert's panel, usually led by the creator of the series and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. The panel then decides on the spot whether the dancer demonstrates ability and performance values ​​sufficient to go further. If dancers show off great abilities in their performances, the judges award "tickets to Vegas" (or in newer season "tickets to the Academy"), moving them directly one step ahead in the competition. In addition, if the judges are on the fence about the dancers, they can ask the contestants to wait until the end of the audition that day to participate in a short test of their ability to take professional choreography.
Callback
The second stage of the selection process is referred to as a "callback" (a round has often been held in the city of Las Vegas and also known as "Vegas Week" for most of the running events, but has been called Academy Week since season 13). Callback consists of a few days process in which the remaining candidates are tested for their overall dance, stamina, creativity and ability to perform under pressure. The dancers are put through a round battery that tests their ability to take on various dance styles; these are usually some of the more represented genres that then stand out in the competition phases, such as hip-hop, jazz, ballroom, and contemporary. In addition dancers can be asked to perform further solos in their chosen style and participate in group choreography rounds where small teams of contestants should display their musicality and ability to communicate professionally with performance choreography for a randomly selected piece of music - this challenge known as the only time a competitor was asked to create his own choreography, aside from his solo. Callbacks are often collectively portrayed as one of the most exhausting and stressful stages of competition; each successive round saw a cut in which most of the remaining dancers were eliminated from the competition and the dancers were given limited time to adapt to a style that they were not at all physically accustomed to being physically taxed by the swift and limited development. number of breaks. At the end of this process, usually less than 40 competitors remain in the pool selected by the last contestant. Most seasons feature the top 20 finalists for the competition section of the show, but Season One is represented by Top 16, Season Seven sees the Top 11, and Season Thirteen uses the Top 10.
Selection of finalists and show episodes
After Vegas Week --- which has, through video sketches, made many dancers more familiar with the audience as it observes their efforts to tackle the challenges of the week - the panel of judges chooses their finalists from the remaining dancers, breaking the good or bad news for each dancer. Since Season six, the series also features episodes of showcase that occurred immediately before the main competition. In this episode, dancers compete for the first time on the main stage of SYTYCD in Los Angeles before a live audience, a dance duet or group routine, but only in their own style. In the eight to ten seasons, the episodes of finalist announcement and showcase of dancers are combined into one episode, with group dancers climbing onto the stage for the first time as soon as they are revealed. In the six to nine seasons no dancers are threatened to be eliminated at this time and the first round of audience voting and judgment disappearing the following week. In a slightly more compact format from newer seasons, dance performances are often the first episodes to be followed by audience voting and resulting deletions.
Finalist Stage
Following the finalist selection process, the event transitions into its regular competition phase, which lasts for the rest of the season. The competition stage is usually divided into 8 weeks, generally with two contestants eliminated per week. Dancers are paired into male-female couples who will sometimes stay in pairs for half of the remaining competition if not eliminated. The couple perform 1-2 duets per week in a randomly selected style. These duets, like all non-solo appearances at this stage in the competition, are choreographed by professional choreographers. Before most duet performances, video clip packages of couples preparing to perform routines are displayed; these packages are intended not only to demonstrate couples' attempts to master routines but also to provide a glimpse of the personality of the dancers and also allow the choreographer to provide insight into the thematic, narrative, and artistic goals of the work.. Following each duet's performance, the judging panel of the week provides critical feedback, often emphasizing two key areas of engineering and performance value. The accompanying duet and video package and criticism usually take up most of the competition but may also come with a solo or group number. Each show competition ends with a brief recapitulation of the evening routine accompanied by voice prompts - traditionally over the phone, but progressively through the online voting process. The show usually lasts about two hours, including ads.
In season 2-8, the weekly event format is shared between two episodes, performance episodes, as described above, and show results that reveal the voting results at home. The results show usually aired at night immediately after a performance performance on the same week and usually opened with the group routine of the remaining contestants. The main purpose of the event is to determine which dancers were eliminated that week, but these episodes generally also feature guest dance performances or guest music performances, and sometimes further video packages that provide insight into the dancers and their travels on the show. The newer season has moved to the one-per-week-per-week format, combining elements commonly found in both types of shows. Regardless of how many air shows per week, the "bottom three" couple (those who get the least votes from viewers - in some seasons, it is three from individual dancers rather than couples) are usually revealed each week at this stage in the competition. Each of these dancers is in danger of elimination and must perform solos for the judges as their last attempt to impress and survive in the competition. The judges then retire for a while (usually during the guest music show at night) to determine which men and women (who do not have to be from the same pair) will leave the competition. The outcast dancers were then announced and given a brief introduction via video montage. On very rare occasions, the judges were unwilling to send one of the basic dancers to the house on the merits of their performance that week and had abstained from elimination and instead allowed all participants to proceed to the following week (often followed by double elimination the following week ). Since Season 7, the dancers also routinely pair up with "All Stars", returning the dancers from the previous season in partnership with the contestant dancers, but they themselves are not competing.
The number of hours shown in a given week during the competition's performance phase varies from two to four hours. In the first season there were no results showing and eliminating the dancers recorded before the week they appeared and then broadcast early in next week's episode. Seasons 9-14 has also used one show per week, but with the votes from the previous week revealed later on the show. Voting varies according to season (and often in season) with regard to whether the voter chooses an individual or spouse. There is also variability in how long couples are put together and how the sounds of home audiences are balanced against judge decisions, although at some point in each season, judges give up their power to save dancers at this point, and elimination is determined exclusively by the audience, with judges serving only in advisory capacity. Each season undergoes one overhaul of the final format in the last week, which usually happens when the show reaches Top 4. In the last performance show, the remaining dancers are usually each dancing duet with all of their remaining fellow finalists and soloing and participating in group numbers. The following season-ending episodes are the most complex events of the season and feature the latest performances by competitors, featuring performances from many of the most famous routines of the season, guest dancers (including returning competitors last season and players from other international versions of the franchise ), musical performances and some video packages that signal the course of this season's event all culminate in the announcement of the winners of the competition, as decided by the previous night's vote. Several seasons have featured a single winner, while others have made it possible for male and female winners. After the close of the season, Top Ten dancers often tour for several months, performing a hit routine of the season amongst other performances.
Judge
The assessment panels have varied considerably over the years, in size and composition during the run of the series. Usually one season has 2-3 permanent judges with an additional 1-2 guest judges for most of the episodes, with panels ballooning up to six to nine members for Vegas Week and finals. Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is the only permanent judge on the panel for all seasons. Other permanent judges include ballroom specialist Mary Murphy, film director and choreographer Adam Shankman and contemporary choreographer Mia Michaels. The position of the guest judge is usually filled by choreographers who work regularly on the show - although choreographers will never develop routines for episodes in which they judge - which in rare cases may also be former contestants themselves, and with the iconic name of the entertainment industry. The guest jury for the event includes: Debbie Allen, Christina Applegate, Robin Antin, Basil Toni, Cicely Bradley, Kristin Chenoweth, Alex Da Silva, Ellen DeGeneres, Tyce Diorio, Joey Dowling, Napoleon and Tabitha D'umo, Carmen Electra, Brian Friedman, Jean-Marc GÃÆ' © nÃÆ' Â © reux, Jason Gilkison, Neil Patrick Harris, Hi-Hat, Katie Holmes, And Karaty, Lady Gaga, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lil 'C, Rob Marshall, Mandy Moore, Megan Mullally, Kenny Ortega, Toni Redpath, Debbie Reynolds, Wade Robson, Doriana Sanchez, Shane Sparks, Sonya Tayeh, Olisa Thompson, Stacey Tookey, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Travis Wall. In previous seasons, the jury decided elimination until about the fifth week of the competitive phase of the show, but in the seven to nine season the judges decided elimination until the seventh week. Beginning with the twelfth season, Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo joined Lythgoe as a permanent judge. For the thirteenth season, 13-year-old dancer Maddie Ziegler joins the panel as the fourth judge. The Fourteenth Season saw the departure of Abdul, Derulo, and Ziegler from their long position from the panel of judges, but the introduction of Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Murphy's return to her seat.
Overview of format and presentation by season
From its beginnings in season 6 and up to season 10, the dance showcase episode represents a non-competitive round without audience voting or subsequent elimination, followed next week by the first competitive round. In season 11 it is the first episode of the season when the viewer chooses.
? For the 8-10 season, the dance showcase episode combined with 20 episodes revealed Top, with groups of dancers performing shortly after being declared finalists.
* In both the 7th and 8th seasons, the judges decided not to eliminate any dancers on the occasion of one show; in both cases the event was followed by the elimination of twice the normal number of contestants the following week. Similarly, for the reason of the format, season 9 featured two performances with double elimination, with four eliminated dancers instead of two for each event.

** In season 13, the jury held an audition round, but all the stars, rather than the judges, eliminated during the Academy week to pick the top 10. After this, in episodes 7 and 8, of the two contestants with the lowest audience vote, the judge makes elimination.

Maps So You Think You Can Dance (U.S. TV series)
Dance style and choreographer
During the eleventh season, You Think You Can Dance has performed dozens of different dance styles in its choreographer routines. Most of these styles are divided into four categories that are regularly exhibited and can be found in almost every performance episode: contemporary/classic western style, ballroom style, hip-hop/street style, and Jazz and related styles. Other forms of dance not included in this broad category are also seen, but not regularly. The following styles have all been seen in a duet or choreographic group routine; styles displayed only in auditions or unlisted solos.
Classic style
The routine of the classic style of contemporary dance is the most common dance seen in the show, which is seen in every episode of the show from the series (and usually at least twice per episode). While contemporary, lyrical, and modern dance is usually regarded as three separate styles (if overlapping), the practice on So You Think You Can Dance has referred to all the routines in this field as "contemporary", except in the first season in which the label "lyrical" is used for the same purpose. Ballet routines happen much less frequently, at a rate of one or two per season since their introduction in the fourth season.
Street styles and clubs
Hip-hop routines also exist in every episode of appearance. While these routines often feature elements from various hip-hop subgenres (locking and popping, for example) and various "path" styles (such as breaking), they are usually all labeled under umbrella terms from -hop. The exceptions are now often displayed lyrical hip-hop , which is unique among all styles on SYTYCD in that it is the only one held to have been a different style that is known to be at least part of the show ; this style is widely associated with the choreographers of Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo's regular events and the term itself to judge Adam Shankman. Both of these big categories are sometimes equipped with krump routines, which have been displayed several times since the season was introduced in season 2. In addition the breakdance style (in the sense of a full routine break from the hip-hop routine with a few dashed tricks), hovering, and stepping everything has been displayed in one routine. In Season 12, there is more street style dance because of the new format of the season where there are 10 street dancers who only do street style.
Ballroom Style
Ballroom styles are also seen regularly in every episode of appearance; these dances may be traditional European-style derived or Latin American style or a mixture of both.
Jazz, Broadway and musical theater
Jazz is featured in almost all performance episodes. While this routine is usually labeled simply "Jazz", the genre is renowned as one of the most fusional features on the show and various combinations of styles and subcategories have been referenced. Dropped from Jazz but treated as a separate genre at SYTYCD , "Broadway" is analogous to the "Musical Theater" label outside the US.
These dance styles are more rarely displayed than their ballroom relatives, but have been seen intermittently since the first season.
Regional/traditional style
In addition to the broad categories above, many of the less common styles in the US are sometimes displayed. Mostly only seen once, but the style of Bollywood has been shown several times per season since the fourth season.

However, when NBC's America's Got Talent aired in the summer of 2006, he took the title of "# 1 summer show" and, over the next few years, expanded its lead. In the summer of 2009, SYTYCD was strongly ranked 3.4 in its target demographics, although with the start of America's Got Talent approximately a month later in the same timeslot, Dance fell to Number 4 on leaderboard. It continues to lose viewers throughout the summer of 2009 and ends with an average of about 8 million viewers. Fox then moved SYTYCD into the fall of 2009 where its rankings continued to decline; hitting the lowest-all time series of 4.6 million viewers for a "special" episode hosted by Nigel Lythgoe on September 2, 2009.

International influences and franchises
The dance competition has been part of American television for decades before premiere So You Think You Can Dance, but usually in the form of comprehensive talent searches (like Star Search , > Soul Train , or Showtime in Apollo ). However, the one-season American Idol talent show with the only focus on dance has never been broadcast on American television networks. Producers and judges associated with the show have stated on various occasions, both in the context of the show and in interviews, that the series is intended to rejuvenate the visibility and appreciation of dance as an art form in the US and provide exposure to dancers' struggles. Judicial series Mary Murphy says, for example, "Of course you hope you can earn a living, because you do not want to give up on something you do, but the truth is honest" most dancers have to carry one or two jobs and dance as much as they can on the side - it's a very lucky dancer who gets a full scholarship. "A number of dance-themed shows have been produced for American television since the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance, including Crew Dance Best in America , Superstars of Dance , and Live to Dance .
In 2009, Lythgoe came along with fellow SYTYCD judges Adam Shankman and Katie Holmes, Carrie Ann Inaba, and others in the dance entertainment industry, in an effort to launch the Dizzyfeet Foundation , < with the aim of providing scholarships and training to young dancers with limited means. The Foundation has been sporadically referenced on the show since. In 2010, Lythgoe, with the help of other SYTYCD long-standing personalities and lifestyles, supporters of Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton, managed to get another dance-oriented concept - an official National Sports Day, held now every year on the last Saturday of July, to promote fitness through the movement. This national dance day has been celebrated annually by performances since then.
Before the end of 2005, the first year of the inaugural series, the format was licensed for the first of a number of foreign adaptations. To date, the resulting franchise has resulted in 26 performances representing 37 different countries and comprising over 80 individual seasons.
