This weekend on Utah TV: Utahns get another "Chance to Dance" on television

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

The new show A Chance to Dance (Friday, 8 and 9 p.m., Ovation) comes to Utah trolling for talent - which is no surprise, given that it's produced by Nigel Lythgoe ("So You Think You Can Dance").

The goal is to put together a dance troupe on short notice. While it isn't exactly a competition, dancers from three auditions gather and about half of them are cut before the live show.
