BILLY ELLIOT | DANCER, THE
starstarstarstar
This hard-knocks coming-of-age story about a miner's son (Jamie Bell) who finds his true calling in ballet could easily have become mired in treacly cliches.

Think You Can Dance: Burning Questions!

What makes So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe so mean? Why can't a break-dancer catch a break? TV Guide presents a step-by-step guide to American Idol's sister show. Fox's So You Think You Can Dance (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET and Thursdays at 9 pm/ET) started the day after American Idol ended. Why the rush?
