Since October 27, Fox Richmond has been holding a promotion for dancers to fill 240 pre-registered spots in their competition for a chance to head to New York and audition for the 2011 season of So You Think You Can Dance (otherwise knowns as “SYTYCD,” the most stumbly acronym ever).

If you happened to have missed out on the promotion, there’s still a chance that you can try out — but you better get your sweet bippy down to the Byrd Theatre (2908 W. Cary Street) STAT. According to the Fox Richmond website, “If 240 registrants are not pre-registered by 9 a.m. registration will be available for those who did not pre-register until all 240 positions are filled.”

Here what will happen at the audition:

Participants in the FOX Richmond SYTYCD Audition will be expected to perform 30-seconds of a choreographed dance. In addition, the participant must bring with them a CD with their music on it, cued up to 15-seconds prior to their 30-seconds of audition music. A panel of qualified judges will award a number between 1 and 10 for each performer and those numbers will be tallied to determine one (1) WINNER and two (2) FINALISTS, based on stage presence/showmanship/personality, technique(proper form, execution of movement, transitions), and difficulty of routine/choreography.

(Bolded text was added by us because, OMG how embarrassing would it be if you forgot that?)
