Cue the music because it's almost time to watch So You Think You Can Dance season 17 online. Fox's reality competition series returns after a three-year hiatus induced primarily by the pandemic. Dance is back!
SYTYCD season 17 features a completely new judges' panel. The show welcomes back former contestant and choreographer Stephen "tWitch" Boss, alongside Emmy-, Tony- and Golden Globe-nominated artist Matthew Morrison and dancer, singer and digital sensation JoJo Siwa. But one familiar face will grace the stage: host Cat Deeley is back.
The first few episodes focus on auditions, as highly skilled dancers between the ages of 18 and 30 showcase their talents in various dance styles, including contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation, breaking and more.
Dancers who make it onto the show will work with world-renowned choreographers and compete each week in a variety of styles, with brand-new twists and turns introduced into the competition.
