So You Think You Can Dance UK S02E04

Episode 04 - Meet the Top 20 (16/04/2011)..

Cat Deeley hosts the first live show of the series, and the country's top 20 dancers take to the stage for the first time in this showcase special, all hoping to take a step closer to the £50,000 first prize and the title of Britain's Favourite Dancer.

There is no phone vote and no elimination, but the pressure is really on as all the dancers will be performing in a style of their choice, aiming to make an impression on the viewers and the judges before the competition starts for real.

The BBC’s So You Think You Can Dance is the search to find the UK’s favourite dancer.

Over the last few months, the BBC has travelled the country in search of dancing talent.

Seven girls and seven boys made it through the auditions to be selected for the live shows. One of these 14 will be crowned the winner of So You Think You Can Dance and win the prize of £100,000 and the opportunity to dance in Hollywood in the US version of So You Think You Can Dance.

HOW SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE WILL WORK

The live shows for So You Think You Can Dance will begin on 9th January 2010 and run on BBC One each Saturday for a total of 6 weeks.

There will be a live main show followed by a live results show.

For the first two shows the dancers will be paired up by the Production Team, at their discretion, based on height and dancing ability.

From show three onwards, each week the dancers will swap dancing partners amongst them. Partners will be selected via a random draw. The draw will be independently verified.

For the Final only, competitors will be partnered with dancers from previous shows in the series.

After each couple have performed, they will receive comments from our judges: Nigel Lythgoe, Arlene Phillips, Louise Redknapp and Sisco Gomez. The BBC may invite a fifth judge at its discretion for any of the shows. The dancers will not receive scores from the judges.

Each week, the couples will perform a different style of dance, for example Broadway, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Pop, Ballroom. Each style will be selected via a random draw.

Throughout the competition, as well as performing in couples, our contestants will also perform solos and in group numbers.

After all couples have performed, telephone lines will be announced open and viewers will have the opportunity to vote as follows:
