Those in the know call it SYTYCD, but you can call it So You Think You Can Dance, airing on Wednesdays (mostly) this summer on FOX.

And if you haven’t heard already, you should be cheering for Katee Shean. The 20-year-old contestant hails from Willow Glen’s Palm Haven neighborhood:

Palm Haven’s own Katee Shean on FOX TV!

Katee Taira Shean was born and raised in San Jose, CA. She is a graduate of Pioneer High School and has completed her sophomore year at Chapman University in Orange, CA. She started dancing at the age of 4. She auditioned for the “So You Think You Can Dance” television show in Los Angeles. Additional auditions with thousands of other hopeful candidates were held in major cities throughout the country. She was one of 200 dancers selected to advance to the next level of competition held in Las Vegas. After a week of grueling competition, 20 dancers remained.

Of course, it’s not the first time Katee’s been competing for prize money … she won a $10,000 scholarship two years ago when she competed in a famous annual Beach Blanket Babylon scholarship contest.

Katee also teaches dance in Southern California while attending college. If you’ve missed the news so far, the magic of the internet will allow you to catch-up by viewing video of Katee’s various dance routines.

Katee’s dad has been doing his part, distributing fliers (seen here posted inside Willow Street) encouraging everyone to vote! And in case you were planning on voting early and often … in order to vote for Katee, you have be watching the show’s broadcasts, during which you get to call a specific toll-free number to cast your vote.
