So You Think You Can Dance Season 4

SYTYCD Season 4 promo from American Idol, thanks to Andrew (ATCorporate) for uploading.



Recognize anyone? I spotted popper Phillip Chbeeb in a promo at the show's site. Anthony Bryant is back to try again, and the fan boards mention Claire Calloway and Deja Riley. This dancer, Ade Obayomi, is rumored to be in the top 36.

Ade can tap too. He frequently works with one of our favorites, Kaitlyn Conley. I'd love to see her audition, but she may not be old enough.

SYTYCD News Roundup

Check out the official Fox So You Think You Can Dance site. Are they finally taking the web seriously?


BroadwayWorld talks to Neil Haskell about Altar Boyz.



HHLO interviews Shane Sparks. When asked "Who’s the coolest or most memorable person you’ve ever worked with and why?" he didn't mention the big girl from the season 3 auditions.

"JC of N’Sync. Once you hang out with JC - he is the coolest person. What I like about him is that he has seen and done so much, and you can learn a lot from him. I respect him immensely."




Wade Robson has co-written a song on Carly Simon's latest album. iTunes users can listen to it here.

So You Think You Can Dance News

Sources tell me that the season 4 Las Vegas audition round ended with 36 dancers still in contention. In previous seasons, we knew our top 20 coming out of Vegas. It appears there will be an American Idol-style Hollywood elimination round, which is probably what is being promoted as a Dance-off (again, where is Daniel Vosovic when we need him?).


We know that TVSquad does a great job recapping SYTYCD. Now they are offering a chance to win a trip to the Dance-off. Go enter now! We'd love to have a BSYTYCD reader win that trip. All you have to do is leave a comment.



Wade Robson blogs that he "just moved to Vegas to continue work on the new CIRQUE DU SOLEIL - CRISS ANGEL BELIEVE show that opens on 09.01.08 in Las Vegas at the LUXOR."



In case you missed it in comments, a reader says about Neil Haskell:

I saw Neil in Altar Boyz on Thursday night. He was great, especially for it being only his second show. His role has the most demanding dance elements and fans of his work on SYTYCD won't be disappointed. Oh, and he can really sing, too. If any of you are in the New York area soon, I would highly recommend seeing the show. Right now there is a great offer for $25 tickets. It's one of the best deals off-Broadway.
