Industry endorses Dance with an extra prize
So You Think You Can Dance gets an industry endorsement and the chance to boost its prize package.

So You Think You Can Dance Australia has added to its 2010 prize package with the choice of three professional dance contracts being available to the winner.
The first to be revealed is the chance to join the Australian Dance Theatre’s 2010 season of “Ignition,” with a season at the Adelaide Festival Centre.
As well as performing in the showcase by Artistic Director, Garry Stewart, the winner lands the standard $200,000 cash prize.
Two more contracts are yet to be revealed.
The additional prize is no doubt a ‘win / win.’ The show was famously criticised in its first season by choreographer Meryl Tankard, who said “It’s a reality show, it’s not a dance show.” Having industry endorsement is no doubt a boon to TEN as well as commercial exposure for an arts company.
Last night the show eliminated Will and Ilona from the show (breaking up television’s ‘other’ Will & Grace).
On Wednesday night the show took 955,000 viewers.

Meryl had her own show to promote at the time.
I dont watch the show but turned over the other night to see Taylor Swift singing with the word ‘Live’ in the top right hand corner. Pretty interesting when it was taped over a week ago and Taylor herself was in Japan. Is the whole show a week ahead?
