Interview: Nigel Lythgoe

Here's an interview with executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe and his new show, Superstars of Dance. It will premiere on Sunday, January 4th from 9:00-11:00 Eastern time:

This show is dramatically different from the other dance shows in that you have masters, I understand, that - of their specific dance competing from different countries. Could you elaborate about that?

Nigel Lythgoe: Well I think with the shows that we know like Dancing With the Stars, that’s a bunch of celebrities who would like to dance. My own show, So You Think You Can Dance is a bunch of kids who would like to be dancers.

And this is professionals that have been doing it, have made their living through it. A lot of them are world champions in their specific genre, and it’s a lot of different cultures coming together.

I think that’s what’s the most exciting part of it for me.
