If you thought you were done voting after American Idol ended--you were wrong!

FOX's other hit reality show, So You Think You Can Dance premiered Thursday night. And if you're not familiar with the show- it's like the dancing version of American Idol as contestants compete to be named "America's Favorite Dancer".

Much like Idol, SYTYCD, as it's called by its major fans, launches its contestants into stardom.

Two past contestants, Lacey Schwimmer and Chelsie Hightower have since gotten jobs as pro dancers on Dancing With the Stars.

And to kick off the new season, The Rhode Show found two star dancers from Rhode Island.

Travis and Tyler Atwood began dancing a year ago, and are now on a competitive hip hop team at The Talent Factory in North Kingstown.

The twin boys have worked with several of the past season champions. And this summer they're headed to New York on a dance scholarship.

Auditions for the next season's So You Think You Can Dance are being held on May 28th in Boston.
