Format

edit

The format is the same as So You Think You Can Dance (US) season 2-present; the dancer could:

  • Be sent straight to the "Fever Days", same as Las Vegas Week in the US version
  • Be sent to the choreography round, where the dancer will be asked to learn a choreography later hi in the day, and based on that, the judges decides who will go through to the "Fever Days"

†Mona Berntsen suffered an injury that resulted in her being unable to continue in the competition. She was medically withdrawn, and Michelle Purvis replaced her as she was the most recent female competitor eliminated. That meant Berntsen was able to try for the next season, which it was not going to be, but bigger, in So You Think You Can Dance (Scandinavia), which she won.
