Everybody Dance (TV Series)

''Tancyuyut Vsi!'' (''Танцюють всі!'' in its original Ukrainian orthography and translated in English as ''Everybody Dance!'') is a television program which airs on the Ukrainian channel STB and is based on the format of the American series ''So You Think You Can Dance''. The series, hosted by Lily Rebryk and Dmitry Tankovych, first premiered in September 2008. The winner of the competition receives between ₴150,000 and ₴250,000 and occasionally further prizes.

Format

The show shared many style and format elements with other entries in the ''So You Think You Can Dance'' franchise, including the general premise of challenging dancers from a wide variety of stylistic backgrounds to tackle a variety of dance genres. A season began with open auditions, held throughout the Ukraine, where hopeful contestants performed before a judge's panel of dance experts. From this initial talent pool, 100 dancers (later this number grew up to 200) were selected to attend extensive workshops and testing over the course of a week in Yalta or, from 5th season, some place near Kyiv (similar to the " Vegas Week" and "Boot Camp" portions of other ''So You Think You Can Dance'' shows). From these 100 dancers, 20 (22 in seasons 5-8 and 40 in season 9) were ultimately chosen to take part in the live performance shows. In season 5, two additional dancers were chosen by viewer voting. Over successive weeks, these finalists (paired in male-female couples) danced duets, solos, and group routines in a variety of styles in order to stay in the competition, with one male and one female dancer being eliminated each week through a combination of at-home-viewer voting and judge panel decisions until a Top 4 finale, when the champion was crowned. On sixth week of season 5 the rules were changed slightly, allowing to eliminate dancers regardless of their sex. In season 6, the rules were changed so that the "top 20" had to contest in the Trials and only the "top 10" (which actually consisted of 12 dancers in seasons 6-7 and 8 dancers in season 8) got to dance in the live performance shows.
