Recently, "So You Think You Can Dance" judge Nigel Lythgoe teased some major changes coming to the show via Twitter.

Korbi TV caught up with Lythgoe at the show's Los Angeles auditions on Saturday (March 27) and attempted to get a little clarification.

Is it true that there won't be a Top 20 this season?

"It is true that there will not be 20 dancers competing," Lythgoe answers in the clip below.

So, we're assuming that means fewer dancers are making the cut.

Nigel, as you'll see, answers this question in a somewhat cryptic manner, but does admit, that with a smaller group, we'll of course get better acquainted with each contestant.

Lythgoe says he's very excited about the changes, which will be officially announced Monday afternoon, but the biggest news is already known: Only one dancer will be going home every week, not two.

Also, the partners will change every week.
