So You Think You Can Dance ist eine mehrfach Emmy-ausgezeichnete amerikanische TV-Show.

Bei So You Think You Can Dance werden Menschen zwischen 18 und 30 gesucht, die meinen, tanzen zu können. In den Castingshows werden die ersten Leute aussortiert; Die Glücklichen die die Jury beeindruckt haben werden nach Las Vegas geschickt, wo sie sich verschiedenen weltbekannten Choreographen und deren Tanzstilen stellen. Wer es in die eigentliche TV-Show schafft wird zufällig mit einem anderen Teilnehmer gepaart (z.B. Jazztänzerin mit Breakdancer) und muss jede Woche den Juroren und den Zuschauern beweisen, dass sie tanzen können. Der Clou ist, dass die Tanzstile jede Woche aus einem Hut gezogen werden, es kann also sein, dass ein Hip-Hop-Tänzer Salsa tanzen und ein professioneller Ballsaal-Tänzer sich im zeitgenössischen Tanz beweisen muss. In den ersten Ergebnisshows werden die Paare noch von den Juroren aussortiert, später zählt nur noch die Zuschauerstimme. Der Gewinner erhält 100.000 bis 250.000 US Dollar und den Titel "Amerikas beliebtester Tänzer".

Die Show hat weltweit mehrere lokale Ableger, zb in Australien oder England.
