So You Think You Can Dance, Season 5

From newsday.com:

THE SHOW
"So You Think You Can Dance"
WHEN WHERE
Thursday night at 8 p.m. on Fox/5, starting on May 21
THE DEAL
Now that "Dancing With the Stars" is history, attention shifts to the fifth-season premiere of this popular competition featuring regular folks with plenty of talent and passion.
WHAT'S NEW THIS SEASON?
"Nothing really," host Cat Deeley told zap2it. "It's just bigger and better. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. We have the format, and the dancers know what they are doing."Although judge Mary Murphy - she of the eardrum-busting laugh - said one unnamed candidate really got to her. "For the very first time, somebody really brought me to tears without any backstory whatsoever - just hard-core dancing," she told TV Guide.
CAT'S ADVICE FOR DANCERS
"Prepare your audition and be great at what you do and have confidence," she told the Los Angeles Times. "They have to bring their personality. Dance is the narrative that runs through the show, but the audience connects with the human element: They want to know people's stories and trials and tribulations. That's what people really identify with. If you're a funny guy, bring your humor. If you've got an incredibly courageous story, tell us about it. Don't hold back. We want to know everything about you."
SEASON SIX?
Yes - and you won't have to wait so long. The sixth season is scheduled to air this fall, marking the first time that two seasons of the show will be on in one year.
