Get ready for SYTYCD Season 9 Auditions!
UPDATE: Hometown auditions have wrapped. Thanks to all who came out and made it a huge success!
Summer’s hottest dance competition series, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, kicks off its ninth season with auditions beginning Thursday, Jan. 5 at the historic FOX Theatre in Atlanta, GA. The show will continue its search for America’s Favorite Dancer on Friday, Jan. 13 at the McFarlin Memorial Auditorium in Dallas, TX; Monday, Jan. 23 at the Manhattan Center in New York, NY; Thursday, Feb. 23 at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City, UT; and Friday, March 2 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.
Once again, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE will travel across the U.S. in search of the best and most talented dancers in the country. Those who shine during auditions are given a ticket to Las Vegas for callbacks, where they will work with top choreographers to learn and then be judged on multiple styles of dance. For more details on auditions for Season Nine, as well as eligibility requirements, go to www.fox.com/dance.
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and dick clark productions. The hit unscripted series showcases talented dancers – skilled in everything from Ballet, Breaking, Krumping and Salsa to Swing, Tap and Contemporary Jazz – competing for the title of America’s Favorite Dancer.

Dancing is My life. I live and breathe for it. I’m Michael all My Friend’s Call Me Coco, I’m 25 years old live in Miami Fl Kendall I am very passionate, loving, crazy and very outgoing. I love to laugh, make jokes and do random, stupid things. If I let you into my life, you will see the most amazing side of me and my heart! I will never change for anyone! I’m not someone who will kiss everyone’s butt 24/7 because that’s what you call fake! I deal with my own issues and problems everyday. I have tons of love and respect for the universe and for all the people within it. I have no problem with you until I have been offended or looked down upon. I feel everyone should be treated equally and I am working more on this myself. It is very easy to get caught up in your own life, but at the same time I have dreams and goals to capture while I’m on earth! Nothing or no one will ever stand in the way of me getting something I really want unless it is not in the lords plan for me! So hate me or be with me because were going to the top and I hope you’ll stick with me until the end!!!

I am not into face book & twitter but would like to get a message to Nigel Lythgoe. I live in the UK and my son managed to get me copies of the shows season 1 to 5.
I am watching season 5 at the moment and I would just like you to know the pleasure it is giving me to watch such amazing dancers and choreographers, each season I think it can’nt get any better but it does.
Keep up the good work it is the best thing onTV.

I think you are making a BIG mistake by canceling the results show of SYTYCD for Season 9. Nigel has done a wonderful job putting the show together and it is certainly well liked. I wonder who’s brilliant idea it was to cancel the results show..

Bryce Williams can dance, but not only dance but inspire others to dance. He is an amazing person with a great personality and heart. He is not only a great teacher but also a person that is incredible with people. He has really helped my daughter not only learn to dance but to have confidence and has motivated her to do well in school. We are so lucky to have Bryce in our life!
