Dallas Morning News about the Winner Joshua Allen
This is just a part from the story about him.

Mr. Allen landed dancing gigs at Six Flags and Mary Kay conventions, and also began competing in hip-hop battles around town with eliminated Dance contestant Comfort Fedoke.

"We used to date," he says, adding that they're still close friends. "And every time there was anything big as far as dancing goes, we were destined to be there: the Apollo, America's Got Talent. We'd never make any of those things."

Mr. Allen says he took the rejection hard.

"Of course I'd get down. I found myself in my room just crying, because I felt like I wouldn't get anywhere."

He's crying no more; having won gushing praise from the judges, fans and fellow contestants all season, Mr. Allen is letting his moment in the national spotlight sink in. These days when he's out in public, he notices people who seem too nervous to approach him.

"I'm like, 'Come on over and take a picture and give me a hug. It's just me.'"

So You Think You Can Dance is an American dance reality show and competition that is broadcast on the Fox Network in the U.S. and Japan, on CTV and MuchMusic in Canada, on Living in United Kingdom and Ireland, on Network Ten in Australia, on AXN in India, on MBC 4 in the Middle East, on TVN in Poland, and on KTN in Kenya.[1]

The series premiered on July 20, 2005 and has a similar premise to the American Idol series of singing competitions, with nationwide auditions leading to the discovery of the next big star. The show was created by Idol's Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and is produced by 19 Entertainment and Dick Clark Productions. A mixture of contestants are chosen for the show, ranging from unknown street dancers to winners of national championships. All contestants have to work their way through a rigorous audition process, and, over the course of the show, are assigned different dance styles and partners each week to test their versatility.

It was the #1 rated show in summer 2006 for adults aged 18-49, and in July 2007, while still in production of its third season, it was renewed for its fourth season.[2] The first season was hosted by Lauren Sánchez; the show is currently hosted by former British children's television personality, Cat Deeley. In August 2006, it was also announced that there are now spinoff versions of the show in New Zealand, Turkey, Israel, Canada, Germany, Greece, Poland, Malaysia, Norway, and Australia, with several other countries in the works.

So You Think You Can Dance holds auditions in major cities across the U.S., looking for the top dancers in each city. All types of dance backgrounds are encouraged to audition. Salsa, ballroom, hip hop, street dancing, contemporary, jazz, ballet and many other types of dancers can be seen auditioning for a chance to win the grand prize—which, in the past, has included a new Hybrid SUV, $100,000 in cash, and a dancing role in Celine Dion's Las Vegas show—of US$250,000 and the title of "America's favorite dancer."
