Milwaukee is the final stop of a six-city open casting call for season four of Fox's "So, You Think You Can Dance."
And, if you shake your stuff just right this Thursday and Friday, March 20 and 21, at the Milwaukee Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave., you will join the best from Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Dallas, Charleston and Salt Lake City in Las Vegas for final callbacks. From there, the top 20 dancers will be chosen to compete on the television series this summer.
Show up at or before 7 a.m. on Thursday. Registration begin at 8 a.m. and auditions begin around 9 a.m. You must be at least 18 years of age and not older than 31. Other rules apply and are posted here. If you make it past Thursday, judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy will review your moves at call backs on Friday and Saturday.
Last year’s winner, Sabra Johnson, received $250,000 and performed in a national tour, along with the top 10 dancers.
