So You Think You Can Dance

A look at the Top 15 dance acts from the first five seasons.

Thousands of hopefuls take to the stage to show off their best dance moves, vying to be picked as one of the top 14 who make it through to the live shows.

The first round of auditions get under way where different dancers from all around the country travel to London, hoping to impress the judges and make it through to the next stage of the competition. Amongst those taking part include a partially deaf jazz dancer, a mother and daughter who brought the carnival vibe, and a great tap dancer.

The second round of auditions take part as more hopefuls try and impress the judges and secure a place in the next stage of the competition at Choreography Camp.

The remaining hopefuls have one last chance to impress at Choreography Camp before the judges reveal who in the Top 20 and through to the live shows.

The season premiere starts with auditions in New York.

The auditions continue in Los Angeles, CA and Chicago, IL.

The last stop on the tour is in Atlanta. Next episode, the dancers who have been chosen by the judges in the auditions will proceed to the Las Vegas Callbacks.

The fourth season of "So You Think You Can Dance" kicked off Thursday night with a two-hour audition show from Los Angeles. Host Cat Deeley and regular judges Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe were joined by Mia Michaels as they came face to face with the best and, of course, the worst that the dancing world had to offer. Dancers got one minute in front of the judges, and those with overwhelming "yes" votes moved on to the next round in Las Vegas, absolute "no" votes went home, and in-between dancers would be brought back at the end for a second chance in a group choreography routine. The first real joker of the evening was the man they call "Sex," who was making his third audition show appearance and, once again, making a fool of himself. Nigel lambasted the guy, telling him he "must just enjoy watching himself look stupid on television." And Nigel refused to call him "Sex" anymore, either. A visually impaired girl named Laura tried her best, but the judges didn't think her choreography was strong enough to remain in the competition. Mia, though, got very emotional and called the girl an inspiration because she had a close friend who lost their eyesight.

It was freezing cold outside in Salt Lake City, site of the first set of auditions in Tuesday's two-hour episode of "So You Think You Can Dance?" Would the dancers heat things up inside? Guest judge Mandy Moore joined judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy for two days in Utah as they came away with 42 dancers who moved on to the Las Vegas audition. As usual, the dancers each had one minute to dance for the judges, after which they'd either get a ticket to Las Vegas for the next round, be sent home, or be asked to join the group choreography routine at the end of the day for a second chance.

Host Cat Deeley whisked fans away to Charleston, S.C., for the third two-hour night of auditions on "So You Think You Can Dance?" on Thursday night. Joining judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy in the best mannered city in America was choreographer Tice D'Orio,who's worked with Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Paula Abdul, among others.
