TV Dance News

A slew of SYTYCD choreographers are involved with The Pulse On Tour this summer.


Every US dance show seems to have a Utah/Mormon connection. Newsweek examines.


Step It Up & Dance producers Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of Magical Elves will not be following Project Runway to the LIFETIME Network



Here's a preview of tonight's tomorrow night's Step It Up & Dance, courtesy of BravoTV.




So You Think You Can Dance Canada's guest judge Melissa Williams talks about dance on television:

"I started my career on a television show like this one," she says, thrilled to be judging Halifax hopefuls. "I'm so excited to be working with a dance television show again."

After a formidable career in LA, Williams is back in her hometown of Windsor and excited that So You Think You Can Dance has finally come to Canada. "It's great that dance is back in people's living rooms. Canadians need to be reminded of the talent that's in this country." Williams is one of SYTYCDC's Alternating Third Judges, and is one of the judges for the Halifax auditions.

Australia's Dancing With The Stars was turned down by none other than British Chef and TV personality Gordon Ramsay. This article says that SYTYCDAus choreographer Jason Gilkison may be a judge on the show. The UK has it's own version of SYTYCD in the works. I'm pretty sure it can't be a British show until Gordon Ramsay shows up to give everyone a good bollocking.

Offed Aussie Wants To Burn The Floor

Recently eliminated male dancer Anthony Ikin laments the fact that he never got to work with choreographer Jason Gilkison on the show.

"But I didn't get to do a routine of his. Which is a shame."

He still might get his chance - Anthony says his next goal is to score a role in Gilkinson's renowned Burn The Floor show, FloorPlay.
