So You Think You Can Dance was a televised
dance competition and
reality show that launched in the United Kingdom in January 2010 with a format based on
an American show by the same name. The show was broadcast on
BBC One. The presentation of the show is similar to that of the
Pop Idol series of singing competitions. The show focuses not only on the dancers' talent, but also showcases new works by notable choreographers, crafted specifically for the dancers and the show.
