The second series of So You Think You Can Dance will begin on Saturday 16th April.
Returning are Cat Deeley presenting, with head judge Nigel Lythgoe once again accompanied by pop singer turned presenter Louise Redknapp, the ever-youthful Arlene Phillips and choreographer/dancer Sisco Gomez.
Nigel hasn't changed the format of the British series like he did with the American one and there will once again be 10 boys and 10 girls, with two voted off each week. The public vote decides who goes through; the judges confer and decide who goes home. No deadlock nonsense or controversial-for-the-sake-of-it decisions in this show!
If you'd like to be in the audience you can apply for tickets online at the BBC website from now until March 17th.

Series 8 winner Kara Tointon has won the role of Eliza Doolittle in the new West End production of Pygmalion - I actually can't think of a more perfect choice, the ex-Eastender turning into a princess, am I wrong??
Tess Daly wants Bruce to put in a word with his mate Sean Connery, and have him sign for the next series. No arguments from me on that one either!
Strictly judge Alesha Dixon will join Denise Van Outen and Melanie C as judges on the Comic Relief Does Glee Club, which begins at 5.15pm on CBBC on Monday 14th. David and Carrie Grant and Sisco Gomez will also be on hand to mentor the acts.

Move It 2011 Showcases New Dance Moves!
The Move It Exhibition comes to Olympia on March 10th to 13th, showcasing the latest fitness dance trends to get you moving to the groove! Among those being featured are:
Indie Ballet: This shock new ballet style is all about the music - classic ballet pirouettes, pique and twirls blended with rocky indie tunes to make a totally unique style of dance, movement and entertainment. Professional dancers and public alike will be merging jaw-dropping splits to music from the likes of Razorlight, The Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand, and Gomez.
Waacking: Originating from the US, the Waacking phenomenon will be sweeping our nation due to its cool new funk style. Inspired by Madonna’s ‘Vogueing’, this underground street dance movement is much faster and packs even more attitude, style and passion. 
Cheerleading: Give me a M, O, V, E I, T !! Cheerleading? Bring It On! With Glee hitting our screens to mass popularity and recent visits from the amazing NFL and NBA dance troupes, American cheering will be infiltrating dance studios across the country.
Creative Director, George Harper commented “The top trends this year really reflect the fact that people want to have fun and inject their workout with a new twist. If it is ballet, add a new soundtrack. Aerobics? Add an 80’s dance twist. Also people love dressing up so the vintage styles like Charleston and Lindy Hop really allow you to work a look while you workout. Cheerleading is my biggest tip – this is already a massive scene in the UK that few people know about. It will be THE craze in 2011 and it’s not just for girls – boys are getting in on the action too!”
Check out MOVE IT to see some of these new dance crazes in action – you can even test out your own skills at their taster session classes. With live performances, dance classes, top exhibitors, freestyle stages, competitions, masterclasses, auditions and interviews there’s something for everyone at this year’s show. Whether it’s ballroom, ballet, hip hop or cha cha – MOVE IT offers you the chance to create your ideal day of dance. Perfect for beginners or professionals, students, fitness enthusiasts or just simply for an awe inspiring day out, MOVE IT is the only show for all things dance!

Heyday Dance: Rewind the clock - 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s – the choice is yours. End of war celebrations were the heydays, now this retro dance style is destined to be the top trend for next year. Heavily Influenced by vintage fashion, think old skool dance halls, flappers, tea dances and Fred Astaire, it’s a classic with a twist for 2011.
Iconic 1980s: The Flashdance era is back! Big hair, loud clothes, leg warmers and dramatic movements form the basis of this iconic 80’s dance movement.
Cheerleading: Give me a M, O, V, E I, T !! Cheerleading? Bring It On! With Glee hitting our screens to mass popularity and recent visits from the amazing NFL and NBA dance troupes, American cheering will be infiltrating dance studios across the country.

Dancing on Ice, Week Eight: Team Challenge!
So we have an individual performance and then a group skate in two teams to turn the leaderboard on its head, with the winners points doubled! They all look totally unimpressed when T&D tell them. Sam and Laura are made Captain's and get to choose their team mates. Laura takes Jeff and Denise; Sam happy with Chloe and Johnson.
Mattise solo first to Alone. It's serene, great timing in the big lift, one little catch of her toe but otherwise a lovely performance, well done Denise! The nice lift I particularly liked is known as the Frog in the Wheelbarrow! Score: 15 Robin said she looked comfortable, the edges flowed and she had a great upper body in the lift; Emma said it was controlled and calm; Jason said there was marked improvement but that it was like two people playing Twister - at which point Tim Healy appeared at his side and told him: "She's 52 and got 4 jobs!" Everyone is chanting "Hit him, hit him!"
Jeffabelle and Hit The Road Jack, I was holding my breath but he nailed the lift, great interpretation of the song, really acted it out, his usual confident and smooth skating considering the earlier fall. Score: 22.5 Emma saw another side of him, strong, passionate and rhythmic; Jason liked that it played to his strengths but felt he needed more groove in his moves, solid lifts and spins; Robin commented on the difficult material in an all round, really good performance; Karen said that all the weeks came together.
Samiane going for a big lift and skating to You Raise Me Up? Did we want cheese with our lift? Oh, hang on, no - my ears - it's Crazy Love and a gorgeous routine, very tender, Sam working very hard - the Milk Tray lift I like - was there some snogging? I thought they weren't, it was all a ... ah, well, whatever. Score: 25.5 Jayne expresses surprise that they left something out and Jason picks up on it and tries to do a Sharron Davies with Sam - Karen puts him right, the choreography evolves throughout the week. He did say it had lovely tender moments yet Sam retained his masculinity. I say Jayne and Chris really need to stop believing their lap dogs. Controversial? They need to stop taking it so personally when their choreography is changed - what's the point of Samianne coming out and screwing up their entire routine with an attempt to do something they can't? Robin said the quality is brilliant, the bells and whistles aren't needed. Emma jumped on the 'how dare he change something' bandwagon and said she wasn't feeling it tonight. Karen saw the connection, as did I - and so did Jason!
Michloe skate to Empire State of Mind, stunning move to begin, nice steps, little stuttery, striking handstand, lovely end lift, her most complete performance to date. Score: 26.5 Robin reckons that was the most choreographically difficult routine for any female in the any series and it came together brilliantly; Jason agreed with me re the opening sequence and said she's on her best form; Emma said she's nearing perfection, extraordinary.
Johnseyne to You Are So Beautiful, and it is, very emotional, especially when he got the lift, I welled up and so did the audience - reminded me of that moment in ET, when his bicycle took off and bore them away to safety - the whole audience in the cinema leapt to its feet, cheering. He can only now feel his left leg? He's been in it all this time unable to feel his leg? Amazing! Score: 17.5 Robin never expected to see an overhead lift, called it a terrific performance, relaxed and comfortable; Emma can see his pushing every week and he's confident; Jason called it quite beautiful, applauded the lift and said it was very smooth.
Colaurin out last to I'm So Excited and wow, what a powerhouse routine, fantastic skating and lifts, full of personality and tricks. Score: 28.5 Highest of the series so far! Jason called it unbelievable, speed, attack with no compromise on performance or technique; Robin praised the detail we wouldn't register, transitions, hand holds, twists; Emma said we need her, brilliant.
The leaderboard so far then: Colaurin 28.5; Michloe 26.5; Samianne 25.5; Jeffabelle 22.5; Johnseyne 17.5; Mattise 15. But here come the team skates, Team Sam first, to Don't Feel Like Dancing (which doesn't have a good record in reality shows; I'm just sayin') nice synchro lifts, nice train, good balance of moves for each, some timing issues. The standing stuff is a bit naff.
Team Laura to Rocking All Over The World and Oh, Yes! They're my winners, more energy, more personality, more togetherness, much more punchy and involving. Throughly enjoyed that.
Over to the judges: Jason thought the beginning and end of Sam's a bit naff - no argument from me, but the middle was fantastic, the energy of Laura's takes his vote though; Robin went for the technically delivered skate - Team Sam. Oh, God, they've left it up to Emma - her comments are drowned out by the crowd - it's Team Laura and it's all change on the leaderboard, which now shows: Colaurin 57; Jeffabelle 45; Mattise 30; Michloe 26.5; Sam 25.5; Johnseyne 17.5. Over to the voters!
Results are in and safe - Colaurin, yay! Jeffabelle; Michloe; Samianne - the audience has finally bowed the will of the experts. It's Mattise versus Johnseyne and Denise is a little nervous, doesn't nail the lift. Johnson delivers another emotional, steady performance and it's a clean sweep for him.
Props week next week!

Let's Dance for Comic Relief ... 3
On the panel tonight ... John Bishop, Jo Brand and Felix Dexter.
Comedian Marcus Brigstocke is ... the Grasscutter in the Wind Beneath - it's Kung Fu Fighting and he's surprisingly good and a visual spectacle! John reckons he's given the sale of silk pyjamas a massive boost; Jo points out it was elegant, exciting and exhausting - no argument there from Marcus; Felix liked the contrast of the aggressive nature of kung fu made feminine!
Joe Swash and Caroline Flack and the Black Eyed Peas dance My Humps - Caroline's excellent, we knew that from Dancing on Wheels, Joe outshone but great performance. John's loving the polo neck and said they're a cross between Torvill and Dean and Big Fat Gypsy Weddings; Jo said: "It was just like proper dancing ... Caroline." Felix loved Joe's doorag and applauded the use of the table without innuendo!
Ade Edmondson is The Dying Swan, really captured the feel and the passion of the moment I felt, wonderful movement around the stage and a poignant death, right up until Rik Mayall started bashing him round the head with a fying pan while looking like Sir Les Patterson's scruffy younger brother. John said he made Natalie Portman look like Ann Widdecombe; Jo was nearly turned into a real woman and Felix said he had ballet in his locker.
Lee Nelson and Omelette do Club Tropicana and well, I'm just ruined now for any other man ... or possibly scarred for life. John is staggered and thinks it's a before and after picture in Slimming World; Jo tells Omelette he's fit and Lee is scrawny, and Felix has never seen such a fine cleavage on a man.
Iain Lee is Getting Jiggy With It, he really is and a smooth transition from the shell suit to the Pharaoh, with some nifty moves. John approved of the show of solidarity with the struggle for democracy in Egypt; Jo reckons he was pleased to get the duvet off and Felix felt he took the stereotypical perception that white men have no rhythm and kicked it out the park!
The 80s Supergroup - Toyah Wilcox; Clare Grogan, Chesney Hawkes and Limahl take on Greased Lightning. I was dancing around the room, I just couldn't help myself ...woooooooaaaaaahhh Greased Lightning *outstretched arms* John was a 16 year old transported to the best party; Jo would've like to see the boys laying over the bonnet and Felix said the energy was fantastic for a combined age of 200!
Results in and out go: Iain; Lee and Omelette; Marcus!
Straight through: Ade!
Judges decision - John goes for Clare, sorry, the 80s group; Jo goes for Joe & Caroline and Felix goes for Clare, sorry, the 80s group. Final next week!

Let's Dance for Comic Relief ... 2
Tonight's resident dance experts *cough* Lee Mack; Mr. Cuteness personified, Jack Whitehall - what is it about him? And Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis, I'm not quite sure which is the real one or if they're both fake ...
Penny Smith goes Toxic and sexy but shoulda given it a bit more welly, as Len would say, and she may well have won this - just for the Britney body double VT alone! At least she got to dance with Lemar, who you'd think would be concentrating on his music career, but hey, they all like to do their bit for charity. Lee is happy to go to the bar now; Jack liked the bit with the frilly pants and Keith can't tell us what he was thinking.
Lulu - how fantastic does she still look? Even so, she's re-inventing herself, according to the VT ... with dentures, a stanna stair lift and crochet blanket! Then Cranks That Soldier for a spot of Hip Hop and is fantastic, lovin' that! Lee is happy to go to the bar now; Jack called her fierce and told her she brought the crank, whatever that is; Keith becomes Johnny Mathis and croons All I Need To Know.
Noel Fielding as Kate Bush, doing Wuthering Heights and we're getting into the world of the strange now, oddly captivating, couldn't tear my eyes away! Lee said that if Angelina Jolie and Ricky Hatton ever had a love child ... Jack found him beguiling, beautiful, elegant and he's now worrying about personal issues - if he's ever with a woman and closes his eyes, he'll see Noel as Kate; Keith was reminded of Blossom and said he had wonderful arm lines!
Andi Osho is healing a family rift - whoever wrote these intro VTs is/are (a) genius(es) because they're brilliant. Jacksonitis? Bad is the song and Andi is brilliant - wish I wasn't watching an incredibly bad picture on I-Player - best natural dancer, that was too good! Lee was disappointed she didn't set fire to her head but said she was brilliant; Jack, missing the King, is now at peace cos she nailed it; Keith said "Ow! He's come back alive!"
James Thompson and Charlie Baker, neither of whom I know, give us Fight Club, sorry, no, Tap Club: The first rule is - don't forget your tap shoes, otherwise it'll just be Shoe Club, lol. Putting on the Ritz, and they do! Simple, classy, musical and elegant. Put a smile on my face, it's like a proper musical. Lee, having ascertained it wasn't sound effects, now loves tap dancing; Jack said Charlie looked like a 16 year old boy who'd found porn in the woods (Steve apologised a few minutes later!) Keith said it were just like proper tap dancing!
Jared Christmas with Hung Up by Madonna, which would have been the next Rufus if he was as good a dancer, he thinks he got away with it; he did, for the most part! Lee said he was a combo of his three favourite women - Madonna, Deirdre Barlow and Dawn French; Jack told him Keith's hairdresser did a fantastic job and Keith reckons Madonna is going to hate him - it was disgustingly brilliant.
McFly and Cee Lo Green are in but so are the results and out go: Penny; Jared and Andi. Straight through are James and Charlie, the panel have to choose: Lulu or Noel? Lee opts for Noel; Jack evens it up with Lulu and admits he's leaving it up to Keith, who is genuinely troubled: "Can't we go to deadlock?" No - you've got 15 seconds - he chooses Noel!
Four through, one more semi to go!

Snippets: Strictly Come Dancing on Ice; Matthew Bourne
Dancing on Ice are fiddling about again - apparently, the remaining six couples will be split into two groups this week and the couples in the winning group will have their points doubled. Interesting - they could put the best skaters in one group to bump up their scores - or maybe they'll split their favoured two to ensure the judges don't have to choose between them? Either way, it's a lot of faffing about for what is a light entertainment show ...
Strictly's Flavia and Vincent enjoy a Black Swan moment!
An interview and info about a new Matthew Bourne production with a difference.
