SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, the 14-time Primetime Emmy Award- winning show, is set to captivate audiences again this fall -- live on tour -- with a stop at Wharton Center. The last time the tour was at Wharton Center (2013) it sold out almost immediately! This year's SEASON 12 TOUR plays the Cobb Great Hall on Sunday, November 22, 2015. Tickets are on sale now at Wharton Center's official ticketing outlets: online at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.

The Season 12 tour lineup includes the following Top 10 finalists: Team Stage's Gaby Diaz, Edson Juarez, Jim Nowakowski, Hailee Payne and Derek Piquette; and Team Street's Megan "Megz" Alfonso, Eddie "Neptune" Eskridge, Virgil Gadson, Jessica "JJ" Rabone and Jana "Jaja" Vankova. The tour kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, TX and crosses the United States and Canada with 70 sensational stops. Fall's hottest ticket will feature this season's most popular routines from Team Stage and Team Street, as well as original pieces created specifically for the nationwide tour.

Nigel Lythgoe, judge, executive producer and co-creator of the hit FOX series says, "I am thrilled with this season's new Stage vs. Street format and the brilliant, fresh talent we have discovered. These dancers have inspired the choreographers to create remarkable dance numbers each week, truly showcasing individual talent. I am excited for your favorite dancers to bring their inspiration and routines to even more cities on this year's nationwide tour."
