Congrats!!! This is a great program….and I’m not even a dancer OR gay!! Go figure!
Great news one of only competition shows that I watch and love
Same here – completely agree – this is the only reality show that attacts me.
sir, i love this show. I am from india. I also want to participate in this show. I am also a dancer.. So, please take audition in india also this time…!
I hope you get your chance. If you do bring the emotion.
I love SYTYCD more than any other show on TV. I just love watching people dance and Dancing with the Stars just doesn’t do it for me. I saw Katherine, the winner a couple seasons ago, on the “Jar of Hearts” video,she was amazing as usual. So glad the show is renewed, wish it was still on for two nights.
Love the show, I love to see the passion, dedication and skill. I try to take the emotion and apply it to my life and my work. I am a teacher, I teach a few different classes but they are short 2 days in length. I have learned to take the class I am teaching and put all my focus on that class like it is the only class I will ever teach. Lots of people have talent but a special few have deep passion. I can’t wait to witness the performance that will touch everyone.
As much as I wanted Kathryn to win Season 6, she was second runner-up. Russell won that season.
As much as I would have liked Kathryn to have won Season 6, she came in third. Russell was the winner that season.
I love SYTYCD! It’s by far my favorite show. I just wish I didn’t have to wait so long between seasons.
I’m a HUGE fan of SYTYCD. I’ve never had the privelge of any dance training, so it amazes me what the young people (yes I’m OLD) can do with their bodies.
It too, is my FAVORTIE program ever (I watch reruns after reruns on Ovation TV); but I’m with DianeDeBenedictis… I just wish I didn’t have to wait so long between seasons, AND I wish FOX would do reruns every week so there was more continuity in watching it.
Oh and what is Alex doing now? Anyone know?
Good Luck Dancers!
Best show on TV!!
Thank you SYTYCD is renewed. I can’t believe Fox wasted so much money and airtime on X Factor, a singing contest that we don’t really care for and at the same time cut SYTYCD to just one night a week. We as audience are over-saturated with singing contests: Idol, Duet, The Voice, X Factor. Cut X Factor and spend more money and airtime on SYTYCD. How can you not love the Show? Nice background songs, wonderful dance variety, insightful comments from knowledgeable and humorous judges, great choreography.
Yes, SYTYCD is the greatest show ever! It shoud never stop. I’m totally agree with Sam “Nice background songs, wonderful dance variety, insightful comments from knowledgeable and humorous judges, great choreography”. I have never seen such incredible dancers, choreographers, and nice people, because they’re all great.
I thank destiny that put SYTYCD in my life and had made me so happy. Please make one of the dancers, producers, choreographers, Cat, anybody from the show to come to Cuba, I’ll give him/her a free Havana Tour, just for bring me 8 & 9th season.
Been hook since the season when Twitch was sent home the first time. I love to see some of the SYTYCD dancers continue their careers. Not a Lady GaGa fan. But Mark is one of her lead dancers. It shows that there is real talent hidden across the country.
My favorite program. I, too, was disappointed when it was cut to only one night a week. The amount of time, training and dedication that the dancers have invested in deserves more air time. We have too many singing programs. This is the best programming on T.V.
I’m an old dancer and addicted to the show. Congrats on Season 10!
Best dance program on TV. Looking forward to it!!
I love the show
I am absolutely elated that SYTYCD has been renewed!!!It’s my very favorite show. I agree that the network should not have cut it back to one day a week. And yes, there are too many singing contests on TV. The X-Factor is not exciting to me at all.
Now, where else on TV can dancers and a variety of choreographers get recognition for true talent and creativity with different dance styles and storylines to the routines? Dancing With the Stars is fluff and not a real competition. Plus, they only do ballroom dancing.
I am a senior citizen but dancing has always been a pleasure for me. (I wish I could have had formal training.) The renewal of SYTYCD is the best news this season!
Just heard Twitch and Allison got engaged. So happy for them. They make a cute couple. Can’t wait for new season to begin.
This comment is more in the form of a suggestion. (Adore the show, by the way.) The inclusion of so many dance styles is wonderful but something is missing for me which I believe if seriously considered would make an incredible contribution to the shows desire to educate and introduce its audience to dance variations – the inclusion of Native American dance, rhythms, choreography. Costuming would be incredible and its expression of tradition, story-telling, and relationships to a people’s ancient spiritual beliefs could be an incredibly edifying spectacle. Just a thought.
Does anyone know when the first night of the 10th season will be aired? FYI – Season 9 replays have been ongoing on Ovation recently – LOVE LOVE LOVE the personalities, the eclectic nature of the dance routines and choreographers – it’s just a big WOW for me and I agree – enough with the singing already – do like The Voice but the others bore me…not too sure about the new judges though -
Sooooooooooo Excited. Love this show!!! Hope they bring the live show to Portland, OR this time around. Has not been here the past 2 seasons
or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest!
Really like the show and glad its coming back but wasnt crazy about the format last year, wish it would go back to partnering the old way and the 2 night version..
Could you please send me the name of the song and writer and or band or who plays the song so I could use it as a ringer on my phone. I love this show and it should be on each season.
This is by far my favorite show and I agree, the only thing I hate is the seasons are too far apart. I’m ready for it to come back on. I love the dances that tell a story. Amazing!!
