LA Times talks to Tony Wigens, head of touring for 19 Entertainment, about the SYTYCD season 4 tour:

According to Wigens, the idea of an "American Idol" tour was intuitive from the get-go, but planning a "Dance" tour took more consideration. "It was very much a leap in the dark as well as a leap of faith," recalled Wigens, who is far more accustomed to planning musical concerts than dance shows. The "leap of faith" paid off in the tour's first year, 2006. "I think the thing sold out in a matter of hours," he said.

After seeing the tickets snatched up, Wigens assumed that the stadiums would be full of teenagers. Instead, the tour drew fans of all ages. "We were expecting it to be a really young audience, but it really is not," he said. "There's not one specific demographic that we're playing to." First and foremost, Wigens hopes the tour will inspire attendance from people who never would have come to a dance performance otherwise.

As for what fans can expect from the tour, Wigens says the live show includes memorable performances from the TV show, interspersed with video footage, among other things. "It's very different," he said. "It's a very, very exciting show."

Joshua and Katee, the Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan of the proceedings, took on an Indian routine that put Mike Myers and artists of even greater pretension to shame.

Katee & Joshua's Samba (Video)

TVGrapevine:

Katee and Josh are the last couple of the night. They have a samba by Tony and Melanie. Oh my goodness! I can't much evaluate Katee, because I couldn't take my eyes off Josh. His lines, his extensions, and OH MY GOD those hips! His chest isolations were every bit as good as we've seen on Dancing with the Stars, the pros, not the celebs! This was the dance of the night, no doubt.

Katee Shean and Joshua Allen - Hiphop - Napoleon & Tabitha

Scott Patrick Wagner:

STANDOUT!! They get the extra exclamation point, because it was really impressive. Katee had the deck stacked against her from the auditions, when she seemed ungrateful and annoying at the final callback. But she came through, almost holding her own with the most brilliant dancer of the night, Joshua. Granted, he is a hip hop dancer and this was a hip hop number, but it wasn’t really. It was a contemporary number with a hip hop feel, and he was extraordinary. The guy pulled it out on every level, and I was truly impressed.

Debbie Chang at BuddyTV:

Katee Shean and Joshua Allen are the next couple. Joshua is a hip hop dancer, but has also trained in ballet (as well as playing football and running track). They have a hip hop routine choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha, which tells the story of an enlisted man shipping off the next day. They dance to "No Air" by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. Katee and Joshua are very intuitive dancers, and they really rock this routine pretty hard. I had to sit for a moment, not typing, because my eyes were glued to the screen. Nigel tells them that they were really, really great, in a hushed, awed voice. He says that it's his favorite routine of the night. Mary is pleasantly surprised at how soft Joshua could dance, and Dan is pleasantly surprised with how well Katee held her own.
