- Dansefeber
-
Dansefeber is the Norwegian version of So You Think You Can Dance. It was broadcast on TVNorge (Norway) and was hosted by Kjetil Tefke (2006) and Henriette Lien (2006-2007). Adil Khan was the winner in 2006 and Hanna Mjåvatn the winner in 2007.
Dansefeber held auditions in major cities across Norway, looking for the top dancers in each city. All types of dance backgrounds are encouraged to audition. Salsa, ballroom, hip-hop, streetdance, contemporary, jazz, ballet and many other types of dancers can be seen auditioning for a chance to win the grand prize.

Show Format
Dancers audition for a ticket to "Feberdagene" (The Fever Days).
After the first season, the format changed from dancers switching partners every week to one where the top 20 keep the same partner until the show has reached twelve finalists. Between the top 20 and the top twelve, viewers vote based on the couple, rather than the individual. Once the show has reached twelve dancers, the dancers randomly pick their partner's name from a hat as well as their style(s) of dance.
When the season finale comes around, everyone dances with everyone. Both guys dance with each other, both girls dance with each other, and both girls dance with both guys.
