Take a listen to the TVMusic Network Podcast with Phyllis and Belinda. In Episode 11, The Thomas Sisters discuss the new seasons of “World of Dance” and “So You Think You Can Dance.”
For “So You Think You Can Dance,” the auditions begin with our judges Mary Murphy, Vanessa Hudgens, and creator and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. Former contestant and dance world superstar Twitch is also on hand to guest judge. Cat Deeley is back as host.
On “World of Dance,” Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and NE-YO are back on the judges panel, while Jenna Dewan serves as host.
In the end, there’s only one million dollar winner. That’s right–the last act standing wins $1 million dollars.
A total of 72 acts compete this season in the four age-based categories: Junior (17 years old and under, 1-4 dancers), Junior Team (17 years old and under, 5-15 dancers), Upper (18 years old and older, 1-4 dancers), and Upper Team (18 years old and older, 5-15 dancers).
The acts need 80 or above scores from the judges to advance to the Duels.
