FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance," Season 6 (SYTYCD), the original dance competition, is hosted by Cat Deeley, who keeps viewers moving to a different beat as dancers skilled in everything from the "street" styles of Hip-Hop, Krumping and Popping to Ballroom's Salsa, Quickstep and Jive compete to be named America's Favorite Dancer.

"So You Think You Can Dance" became a phenomenon in Season 2, in which Benji Schwimmer was voted America's Favorite Dancer and received $100,000, a new car and a contract to appear in Celine Dion's "A New Day" show at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.

In Season 3, "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD) finished Summer 2007 as the No. 1 show in its time period among key demographics. The Season Three champion, Sabra Johnson, was voted America's Favorite Dancer and waltzed off with the cash prize of $250,000. Following the season finale, the Top 10 dancers embarked on a cross-country, 50-city performance tour.

Season 4's winner, Joshua Allen, danced off with a $250,000 cash prize, the title of America's Favorite Dancer and an offer for a featured dance role in the upcoming Adam Shankman film "Step Up 3-D."

Season 5's winner Jeanine Mason, 18, a Contemporary dancer from Pinecrest, Florida, received the most votes out of the record-breaking 21.6 million votes cast. Additionally, she danced off with the cash prize of $250,000, the title of America's Favorite Dancer and a cover feature in the November issue of Dance Spirit Magazine.

In Season 6 of "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD), producers again will travel across the country in search of dancers who represent the rhythm of America. Those who spark the judges' interest during auditions will be invited to call-backs, where they will work with top choreographers. During the call-back week, the judges choose the Top 20 dancers who will continue in the competition.

In the performance round of "So You Think You Can Dance," Season 6 the 20 finalists dance for America's votes, and each week the six contestants comprising the bottom three couples are given a chance to perform solo routines to encourage viewers to keep them on the show. Then the judges decide which dancers stay in the competition and which two are eliminated.

Once "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 6 is down to the Top 10 finalists, it's solely up to America to decide who remains in the competition. Following the performance shows, viewers can vote for their favorite couples. The live results shows reveal who keeps dancing and who goes home.

Emmy-nominated "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD) was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and Dick Clark Productions. It is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.
