So You Think You Can Dance: Season 2

Season overview

Season two of the American reality television dance competition So You Think You Can Dance introduces Cat Deeley as the new host of the series. The program continues its established format, featuring dancers selected through open auditions held across the United States. These participants, who possess diverse training backgrounds ranging from ballroom and ballet to salsa, jive, and hip-hop, engage in a rigorous competition designed to showcase their individual talents and technical abilities. The ultimate goal for the contestants is to be named the best dancer in the competition. The stakes for the season are significant, as the eventual winner is awarded a grand prize consisting of 100,000 dollars, a new hybrid SUV, and a one-year contract to perform in Celine Dion's Las Vegas show, A New Day. The series, created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe, maintains its focus on evaluating the performance skills of qualified dancers as they navigate the challenges of the competition. As the flagship series of the international franchise, the show airs on the Fox network, continuing the search for top-tier dance talent that began with the series premiere in 2005.
