The first and only winner of So You Think You Can Dance Scandinavia was Mona Berntsen, a dancer who had fared well in Dansefeber in 2007, progressing to that show's top 12 before an injury forced her to withdraw.

Berntsen was told that she could audition for next season of Dansefeber, and when that show was combined to make So You Think You Can Dance Scandinavia, she was extended an invitation to participate.

After partners are assigned, couples pick a dance style out of a hat, have a rehearsal with a choreographer, and perform their routine.

Once the field of dancers is narrowed down to the top 12, permanent partnerships dissolve and contestants draw their new partners and two dance styles from a hat each week.

Judges: Mary Murphy, Fredrik "Benke" Rydman, Merete Lingjærde and Niclas Bendixen
