'So You Think You Can Dance': Meet the Top 20!

The new twist revealed Wednesday night is that one male and one female will be chosen as this season's champs. "SYTYC" is also switching its schedule to air one day a week, forcing the show to combine results and live performances in a single episode.

The first live performance show takes place July 11 when 20 dancers will be paired into 10 couples, and voted on by fans at home. The three couples in the bottom will dance for their lives and face elimination based on the judges’ vote.
