Fox this morning officially confirmed that So You Think You Can Dance will return for a 13th season with an installment featuring young dancers. The long-rumored “SYTYCD Junior” will be officially titled SYTYCD: The Next Generation. It will showcase dancers between the ages of 8-13 in various dance styles, such as contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation or breaking, who will be paired up with All-Stars. Season 13 is set to premiere Monday, May 3. Cat Deeley is returning as host as are Nigel Lythgoe, Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo as judges.

Auditions begin next month in three cities, including Los Angeles (Saturday, Feb. 27), Chicago (Friday, March 11) and New York (Friday, March 18). The kids who go through will move to The Academy round where the Top 10 dancers will be selected and partnered permanently with a SYTYCD All-Star. The competition will move on to the SYTYCD studio, where the top youngsters will compete each week in a variety of styles, working with choreographers and performing alongside their All-Star partners. One young contestant will go home each week until a winner is named on the season finale.

Gosh, this is the new craze of reality TV. There are kid reality shows popping up everywhere nowadays. "Kids Baking Challenge" on Food Network. "Masterchef Junior" on Fox, and now this show. Who's pushing little kids to end up in front of 20 million viewers? Parents? Teachers? Hosts themselves?
The problem with this is when a kid starts stressing out, they will usually yell or start crying. Then social media will go crazy with "oh, look at that crying kid on (insert kid's reality show here) - ha ha ha!"
Wouldn't be surprised to see a teen or children's edition of Big Brother one of these summers. CBS DID have "Kid Nation" in 2007, and "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" in 2005 with families racing across North America.

IMHO, reality shows should be kept to adult contestants only.

There was also American Juniors on Fox in 2003. Basically a kids' version of American Idol. What was even more awkward was that show was followed by Paradise Hotel of all programs at 9PM during the summer of that year. You can only imagine how quickly families watching American Juniors had to change the channel after the show was over so the kids didn't see any of the sexy hijinks on Paradise Hotel!
