The winners of the first six seasons have been Ivan Paulovich, Els Smekens, Floris Bosveld, Nina Plantefève-Castryck, Frederic De Smet and Danny Boom.

If the dancer impressed but the judges have reservations, he or she may be asked to stay until the end of auditions to try to prove themselves by picking up a short piece of expert choreography.

Following the open auditions, dancers are put through a "Bootcamp", a week-long live-in series of workshops, usually held in a foreign locale, where they are drilled and tested in a variety of dance styles.

At the end of this process, and after successive waves of cuts, a Top 18 dancers are selected to move on and participate in the "live shows", which are the main segment of the competition and the point at which call-in voting begins.

The permanent members of the judge's panel consisted of Dan Karaty, Jaako Toivonen and Euvgenia Parakhina.

The season also began with a change of hosts, with Dennis Weening and An Lemmens taking over presentation from singer Elize.

Smekens and her partner Angelo Pardo, had been judge and fan favorites from early in the competition and took the top two winning positions.

Also returning was Natascha de Jong, a dancer who was selected for the top 20 in season one but was unable to participate for personal reasons.

The season was the largest ratings success yet for the show, with average viewership peaking above a million viewers per episode for the first time.

On the 27 November 2011 finale, ballet dancer Nina Plantefève-Castryck was announced the winner of the fourth season and was awarded a choice of dance school opportunities, a cash prize of €25,000, and a role in a music video of David Guetta.
