'So You Think You Can Dance': Nigel Lythgoe on Vegas Week



When Zap2it caught up with "So You Think You Can Dance" creator Nigel Lythgoe at the College TV Awards in Hollywood, he shared his brand-new strategy for getting the contestants to reach their full potential. They're taking a "sort of psychological" approach to the competition this time.

"We believe that everybody's got a firefly inside them," Lythgoe says, snapping his fingers. "A lot of people just don't light it up. They don't know how to light it up." This year, Nigel is hoping to boost the charisma of his dancers.

In order to avoid any "bored, insular performances," producers have decided to call in the experts. "We're going to bring someone in that's actually worked with Jerome Robbins and all these wonderful choreographers. How they brought it out of their dancers, we're going to try to do that."

Of course, Zap2it will be live on the scene in Vegas, so stay tuned right here next week for all the behind-the-scenes details that you won't see on TV.
