Selection process

Open Auditions

edit

The announcement that So You Think You Can Dance had been picked up for a fifth season was made during the fourth season finale on November 27, 2011, but registration of contestants did not begin until several months later. As with season four, open auditions were held at the Royal Theatre Carré in Amsterdam on July 8 and 9 and in the BOZAR in Brussels on July 15 and 16.[2] As with previous seasons, the open auditions represented the initial assessment of contestants before the more extensive workshops of the show's “Bootcamp” phase; however, unlike in previous seasons, the judges awarded special places to four different contestants (Vita Boers, Sarah Mancini, Remy Vetter and Niels van den Heuvel), which allowed them to proceed immediately to the foreign phase of the bootcamp, skipping the initial workshops at the “ArtEz” Arnhem studios.

Bootcamp

edit

The initial workshops of the Bootcamp phase took place at ArtEZ dance studious in Arnhem during July 20–22. Just over 100 contestants participated after being selected during the open auditions. Day one featured workshops for four dance styles – hip-hop, Latin, modern, and jazz – the results of which more than halved the number of contestants to 43. One dancer, Vivian Gomez Cardoso, impressed the judges to such a degree during this first day that she was immediately awarded a spot in the foreign component of the Bootcamp; Cardoso would go on to take second place for the season. During the second day, couples were formed and given a piece of music from any of a number of genres, around which they were required to design a short routine. Based on these performances, the judges selected half of the remaining dancers (21, plus the additional five already awarded places) to proceed to the foreign phase of the Bootcamp, held in New York City, for season 5.

Once in New York, the remaining dancers were granted the choice of a modern or hip-hop workshop, though they were given no details as to where and under whom these would take place until after they made their choice. Those who chose hip-hop were trained by hip-hop choreographer “Dixter” in the Bronx, whereas those who chose modern went to the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Manhattan. These workshops were immediately followed by a challenge to develop group choreography within these two styles, with a total of four performances (two each for hip-hop and modern); a handful of contestants were eliminated from competition immediately after. These eliminations were followed by the contestants attending an exclusive closed-doors rehearsal of the musical Chicago, which became an introduction to the next challenge – the performance of an iconic and challenging piece of choreography from that show, dancing in pairs as back-up to actress/dancer Dylis Croman in the lead role of Roxie Hart. To further challenge the dancers, they were told neither their partner nor their relative role in the choreography until just before their performances. After this final challenge, and taking into account past performances, the judges selected 18 dancers from the remaining contestants to move on and participate in the Live Shows.
