Fox Wants More "Dance"

If you listen closely, you can hear Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe counting their cash.

Fox has announced yet another season of "So You Think You Can Dance." This will be the fifth time the network will ask amateur dancers to dance into living rooms twice a week. The show has actually done pretty well, ranking in the top five for the 18-49 demographic, says Broadcasting & Cable. The show also recently got an Emmy nod.

"We're delighted to have 'Dance' back for a fifth season next year," said Mike Darnell, a Fox exec. "Fox is very lucky to have television's preeminent performance competitions in 'American Idol' and 'So You Think You Can Dance', and it's no coincidence that creator and executive producer Simon Fuller and executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe have been a part of both these successes."

The two-night season four finale of "So You Think You Can Dance' starts Wednesday, August 6 at 8:00 p.m. (EST) on Fox. -- Rachel Cericola
