Last night, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE came to a dramatic conclusion when Lex Ishimoto was named the winner during the live two-hour season finale on FOX. Ishimoto, 19, from Irvine, CA, received the most votes and danced off with the cash prize of $250,000, the cover of Dance Spirit magazine and the title of America's Favorite Dancer. Ishimoto also will join the rest of the Top 10 and All-Stars Jasmine Harper and Marko Germar for the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 14 Tour, which kicks off Thursday, Oct. 5 at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IL.

Fellow finalists Koine Iwasaki, Kiki Nyemchek and Taylor Sieve were eliminated as host Cat Deeley revealed the voting results.
