So You Think You Can Dance is a dance reality show and competition aired on 8TV. Premiered on 5 April 2007, it is based on the original United States version of the same name. It has a similar premise to the American Idol series of singing competitions, with nationwide auditions leading to the discovery of the next big star.
The organizers of So You Think You Can Dance held one audition in Kuala Lumpur. The contestants that are picked go through callbacks and the Top 20 perform on a live show. This follows a weekly elimination hereafter. The Malaysian version of So You Think You Can Dance had completed its inaugural season with Muhammad Haslam Abdul Rahman Rubaee as the champion.
The show was hosted by Juliana Ibrahim and Jehan Miskin; the latter only joined the cast since episode 9.
Famous quotes containing the words you, dance and/or season:
“Just as much for us that sobbing dirge of Nature,
Just as much whence we come that blare of the cloud-trumpets,
We, capricious, brought hither we know not whence, spread out before you,
You up there walking or sitting,
Whoever you are, we too lie in drifts at your feet.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Listen, sister. I don’t dance and I can’t take time out now to learn.”
—Frank W. Wead (1895?–1947)
“How many things by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
