Like its American predecessor and other shows within the So You Think You Can Dance franchise, prospective competitors are first assessed at open auditions.

The auditions succeeded in drawing in dancers from styles as varied as ballroom, hip-hop, streetdance, contemporary, jazz, and ballet, amongst others.

Dancers who qualified to move beyond this point in the competition earned a ticket to "Feberdagene" ("The Fever Days"), Dansefeber's version of the "Boot Camp" portion of the season.

This first season featured 16 picked from the open audition/Fever Days participants to be perform as finalists in live show.

The show was not renewed for a third season, however, but rather replaced by multi-national competition So You Think You Can Dance Scandinavia, which included contestants from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
