So You Think You Can Dance Officially a Summer Show

[lacubs]

The back-to-back seasons of So You Think You Can Dance may have given us a bit of a Mary Murphy-screaming hangover, but we're totally recovered now. As you may recall, Fox decided to audition the summer hit as an autumn entry. It worked out okay, but executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe even admitted it was not without its flaws. Season five champ Jeanine Mason didn't get to reign as America's Favorite Dancer for nearly long enough and Season six winner Russell Ferguson, along with the rest of the top 10 dancers, didn't get to tour the country performing the best routines of the cycle. Alas, a big decision has been made about the Cat Deeley-hosted reality competition… SYTYCD is staying on the hot tamale train. The seventh season will bow in the summer, starting on May 27. While tryouts have already taken place in New York City, you're not too late. The judges will be hitting Dallas, Nashville, Chicago and Los Angeles in March. (For more audition deets, visit fox.com/dance). As for who those judges will be, we still haven't heard word if Adam Shankman will be returning as a permanent seatfiller, but we did catch wind that a certain much-missed fixture was seen at the NYC auditions (psst! It was Mia Michaels!). [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I love Adam Shankman and I love Mia Michaels! I hope Adam comes back.

Returning this summer???

I love it!

But in fairness, if burn-out was one of the issues, this isn't going to help at all.

And please continue as a judge, Adam Shankman, you're the best!
