Season chronology |
The second season of So You Think You Can Dance in the Benelux aired in fall of 2009. It followed an initial production in the Netherlands in 2008, with the second season now expanding in scope to include Belgium. Dutch channel RTL4 continued to broadcast the show in the Netherlands, while Belgian station VTM was the Flemish broadcaster. With the departure of the first season's host, singer EliZe, the presentation duties for the show fell to new co-hosts An Lemmens and Dennis Weening, who have remained with the production for its subsequent three seasons. The second season premiered on September 1, 2009 and concluded eight weeks later on November 29, with Belgian Els Smekens announced winner in a live finale. Smekens won a choice of dance school opportunities in the U.S., a cash prize of €20,000, and a dance solo in the musical Hairspray.
Unlike the first season, the second season featured a less permanent make-up for the Judge panel with Dan Karaty, Jan Kooijman and Nicky VerNew with one being occasionally replaced for a week by a guest judge.
Initial open auditions were held over two days in Antwerp, with highlights broadcast as the first four episodes of the season. Of the initial auditioners, 120 were selected to progress to a group choreography round in Amsterdam. From this pool, 30 dancers were selected to participate in an intensive series of workshops known as "Bootcamp." The bootcamp for the second season was held in Los Angeles and featured choreographers Travis Payne, Timor Steffens and Kherington Payne, a former contestant on the original American series. From these competitors the judges ultimately chose the Top 18 dancers who would perform in the main competitions, or "Live Shows."
From the Top 18 to the Top 10, the bottom three couples, based on each week's vote, would be in danger of elimination from the competition and would be required to "Dance for their lives" (perform a solo) to avoid being the one of the two dancers dismissed. From the Top Ten to the finale, dancers received votes as individuals and not couples and eliminations were determined solely by home viewer votes.
