Here we go again - Season 11 Audition Details and Dates

Hello again and welcome back - it's time to start thinking about Season 11 of So You Think You Can Dance.


First of all, and most importantly - if you are considering auditioning for this season, there are five cities FOX is touring to cull the best of America's dancers. Interestingly, no auditions in New York... but I guess they've covered most of the American regions with the cities they've chosen.

Seeing as Atlanta's open auditions are only eleven days away, here's to hoping that you've already choreographed your solo if you're thinking about auditioning for Atlanta. Anyways, if you're between the ages of 18 and 30, think you're capable enough to compete, and live in the United States (there's a few loopholes- visit the official website for more deets), audition! You literally have nothing to lose, and they're OPEN AUDITIONS. If they don't think you're for the show, you won't pass. Nothing terrible will happen. And hey, something great could happen.

If you audition and you don't get called back - don't take it personally. You could have twenty years of technical training with the best dancers in the world and not get called back. It's important to remember that it's not only auditioning to compete as dancers, but also to be cast on reality TV. It takes a very unique type of dancer to be an all-around perfect person for this competition. But if you think that's you, bite the bullet and audition. You'll be within the presence of SYTYCD greats, and gain valuable audition experience. Again, you'll have nothing to lose and everything to win.

Keep an eye on my blog for the next couple days - I'll be uploading a post similar to last year's, a "what-to-look-for-in-the-season" type thing. I'll be glossing over choreographers I want to see again and genres I want included, as well as guest judges that I would love to see again. And, of course, as the season revvs up - not for another five months or so, but still - I'll be recapping every episode and posting it ASAP.

Happy New Year, loves!!! And may 2014 be a great year for SYTYCD.
