Winner:Ivan Paulovich
Network:RTL5

The first season of So You Think You Can Dance, a Dutch adaptation of the American show by the same name, premiered on RTL4 on September 4, 2008. Unlike following seasons of the show, the first was broadcast in the Netherlands only and features only Dutch contestants. The finale aired December 11, 2008 and concluded with latin dancer Ivan Paulovich as champion. Paulovich won a choice of free dance study opportunities in the U.S., €20,000, and a role in the musical Footloose.

Judges

The first season featured permanent judges Jaakko Toivonen, Euvgenia Parakhina, and Dan Karaty. Additional guest judges included Albert Verlinde, Penny de Jager, Kim-Lian van der Meij, Wendy van Dijk, and Eszteca Noya.

Auditions and bootcamp

Open auditions for the first season were held exclusively in Amsterdam. Those dancers which impressed a panel of judges were sent forward to a "bootcamp," a several-day-long series of dance workshops (held in London, England for the first season). After observing the dancers over the course of the workshops, the judges then selected a Top 18 group of finalists for the main competition phase of the show, referenced as "The live shows."

Live shows

From the top 18 to the top 10, the bottom three couples, based on each week's vote, were in danger of elimination from the competition and were required to "Dance for their lives" (perform a solo) to avoid being the one of the two dancers dismissed. From the top 10 to the finale, dancers received votes as individuals, and not couples, and eliminations were determined solely by home viewer votes.
