On next week's episode, returning guest judges Jenna Dewan Tatum, Debbie Allen, Tara Lipinski and Adam Shankman will join judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy at the judging desk and the Top 20 finalists return to the So You Think You Can Dance stage to perform some of the past season's favorite pieces. Also, Hip Hop dancers Les Twins; Michael Dameski, recent winner of the Australian version of "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" and the fourth and final featured dance crew, Wanted Ashiqz, will perform live.

Since 1995, Enrique Iglesias has solidified himself as one of the most respected and revered stars worldwide. He remains one of the best-selling Spanish artists in history with sales exceeding 100 million worldwide. To his credit, he's turned out five Top Five singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with two reaching the top spot and 12 No. Ones on the Dance Club Songs chart. Setting another record, he's had 13 No. Ones on the Dance chart-the most for any male performer ever. Moreover, he has an impressive total of 150 No. Ones across all Billboard charts. Meanwhile, he also is the record holder for most Spanish language singles to hit No. One on the Hot Latin Songs chart, 24 in total. He's got 25 number ones on the Latin Airplay chart and 19 No. Ones on the Latin Pop Airplay chart. Still, there are even bigger things on the Horizon for him.
