Season 5 just premiered May 21st but So You Think You Can Dance announces its new season coming this Fall! Does this mean Fox is out to compete with ABC’s Dancing with the Stars’ Fall shows? It is going to be an interesting battle.

UPDATE: We just caught this on Nigel’s Twitter:

“The reason SYTYCD is following itself in September is Fox wants to move it to Fall so next year you will only get 1 Season.”

Oh boy, and we were so happy with the thought that there’ll be 2 seasons each year! I guess it would be too taxing for everyone on the show especially the choreographers if they have to create new original choreographies for 2 seasons. That clears it though. Next year, SYTYCD will be in the Fall. How are they doing the tour though? in the Spring?

For those who missed out on the casting call for this season’s SYTYCD, here’s your shot to becoming America’s Favorite Dancer.

Put on those dancing shoes or go bare! Hit any of these audition venues near you. Season 6 shows will air in the Fall.

AUDITION SCHEDULE* Doors open at 8:00am. Be prepared to stay for an extra TWO DAYS for potential callbacks.
