Top Four Finalists Named on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

Last night, after America's vote was revealed, Eliana Girard, Tiffany Maher, Cyrus Spencer and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp were named the Top Four finalists on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Witney Carson and Cole Horibe received the fewest votes and were sent home, without the judges - Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Christina Applegate ("Up All Night") - saving any of the contestants.

Next week, on a new night, Tuesday, Sept. 11 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the competition continues when the Top Four finalists - Eliana Girard, Tiffany Maher, Cyrus Spencer and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp - will be paired with new All-Star partners. Because there was no voting after tonight's show, no one will be eliminated next week. Rob Marshall ("Nine," "Chicago") will guest-judge and Jean Sok, a one-legged break-dancer, will perform.

The following week, don't miss the season finale, when the Top Four finalists take the stage for the last time and America's favorite male and female dancer are revealed on Tuesday, Sept. 18 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

On tonight's show, Nigel also announced the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Experience, a three-day dance convention filled with classes, seminars, a mock audition and performances during which participants can learn, watch and be inspired by their favorite SYTYCD dancers and choreographers! The first clinic will take place from Sept. 21-23 at the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. For details, please visit www.fox.com/dance.

Tickets are on sale now for the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE tour, which kicks off in San Diego, CA, on Tuesday, Oct. 23. More details can be found on www.fox.com/dance.
