So You Think You Can Dance Archives

So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Alex DeSilva has been arrested for multiple sexual assaults, reports BNO News.

The 41-year-old was arrested in connection for four sexual assaults that occurred between May 2003 and March 28, 2009.

The Los Angeles Police Department said, “The four victims in this case were all students of DeSilva at the time of the assaults. The victims alleged that he lured them to his homes in North Hollywood and Van Nuys. He then used a ruse to get them into his bedroom where he raped them.”

DeSilva’s bail has been set at $3.8 million.

So You Think You Can Dance is down to four dancers but two of them collapsed during rehearsals Saturday. And the season finale is this week!

“Two went in [Saturday] and so there was no more rehearsals, and today [Sunday] all the rehearsals were called off,” SYTYCD judge Mary Murphy told People at FOX’s 2008 Teen Choice Awards. “The kids are completely dehydrated – two of them. I’m sure they’re doing a lot of blood work to see if there’s anything else.”

Both contestants, whose identities have yet to be revealed, were rushed by ambulance to Cedars Sinai Hospital.

Drink lots of water, everybody!!!!!

Tune into the two-hour season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance TONIGHT, May 22 @ 8PM ET/PT on FOX as the best and the worst showcase their spins, lifts and stunts. The gorgeous Cat Deeley will be returning as host!

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe was recently asked by EW what his criteria for putting together the top 20 dancers. He said, “I don’t always pick the best dancers. It is casting. It is saying, ‘Okay, this personality is going to jar against this personality.’ I want to keep it as interesting as possible. I’d like to diversify styles as much as possible. I want to have people that we can push and not have them break down the minute they can’t do something. It’s a long season for dancers. It isn’t like American Idol. If you lose your voice, you lose your voice one week. If you twist an ankle or put your knee out, that’s it, the season’s over for you. So they’ve got to be sturdy, both physically and mentally.”

And while we’re still on the topic of dance, America’s Best Dance Crew will return on Thursday, June 19 @ 10PM ET/PT on MTV. Host Mario Lopez and judges JC Chasez (N*Sync), rapper Lil Mama and choreographer Shane Sparks (You Got Served) will all return to MTV to critique each dance crew.

Viewers will get a front row seat as the top 10 dance crews are selected during MTV’s Live Casting Special on Saturday, June 7 @ 2PM ET/PT. Fans can catch up with the first season winners, JabbaWockeeZ, immediately afterwards in Walk It Out with the JabbaWockeeZ and Shane Sparks.
