Dance Zombies Take Over 'So You Think You Can Dance'
In order to fill the spot left by the season finale of "American Idol" Fox aired its newest reality series "So You Think You Can Dance," and the judges were shocked to see zombies and exorcists dance.
The new show is modeled after the popular signing competition but instead of microphones they use their feet to move to the beat. Dancers still are judged on talent, creativity and originality, but they let their moves speak for themselves.
The first episode which aired yesterday showed the talent searches in New York and Dallas. The 2-hour premier had everything from traditional dance to zombie break-dancing.
