So You Think You Can Dance's fifth season premieres May 21, 8:00-10:00 PM ET on FOX and, in Canada, CTV. After the premiere, SYTYCD will air Wednesdays and Thursdays. But, auditions for season six begin next week, as the network prepares for a Fall run of the fabulously popular talent search.

Check out the audition episodes for ideas on how (and how not) to impress the judges. These air May 21 and May 27, 8:00-10:00 PM ET.
