So you think your students can dance?
by Erin K. Dean
Do you have a standout student you think deserves to be on “So You Think You Can Dance?” If so, there’s still time. Auditions for Season Six are still in progress, but hurry—only four dates remain.
For those already hooked on Season Five, the captivating reality-dance show wrapped up auditions for the finalists this past weekend. While thousands auditioned, only the Top 20 remain for this season’s first performance episode, which airs Wednesday, June 10 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT). Choreographers and guest judges Debbie Allen (DT April 2001 cover subject), Mia Michaels (DT November 2006 cover subject), Adam Shankman and Lil’ C joined the show’s regular judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy to select the 10 males and 10 females.
The results from Wednesday night's episode will air Thursday, June 11 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), and will also feature Sean Kingston performing his new single, “Fire Burning on the Dance Floor.”
