So You Think You Can Dance was a reality dance competition similar to Dancing with the Stars, but with civilians (regular people) instead of celebrities. Plus, there are more outrageous dance styles, too.
Premise[]
Although each varies in the particulars of its format and presentation, all shows share a premise of placing dancers who come from a wide variety of dance backgrounds and are often, but not exclusive, amateur or semi-professional experience in a competition which requires them to adapt to multiple styles of dances. As the competition progress, a combination of judge decisions and at-home-viewer votes determine which dancers will advance in the competition from week to week, until ultimately one dancer is voted champion of that particular season and receives a prize package that may consist of money, work or training opportunities, additional material prizes and typically the title of the respective country's "Favorite Dancer" (i.e. "America's Favorite Dancer").
