In an effort to shore up its audience, last year the So You Think You Can Dance TV show on FOX brought back original judge Mary Murphy and added Vanessa Hudgens. The ratings still dropped somewhat, but at a more respectable rate. Is the series now on solid ground? Will So You Think You Can Dance be cancelled or renewed for season 16? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A FOX competitive reality TV series, hosted by Cat Deeley, So You Think You Can Dance pits dancers against one another, in a bid to become “America’s Favorite Dancer.” Judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, and Vanessa Hudgens asses the dancers’ ability in various dance styles, including contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation, breaking, and more. The top dancers then pair up with All-Stars who will guide them throughout the competition.
