The Top 10 finalists on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" — including Utah own's Hailee Payne — will hit the road this fall, with a stop in Payne's home state.
The Season 12 tour arrives at the Maverik Center in West Valley City on Thursday, Dec. 10.
The tour starts Oct. 13 in Grand Prairie, Texas (in suburban Dallas-Fort Worth), and end the year in Boise, Idaho, on Dec. 29. Then, in January 2016, the dancers will traverse Canada.
The tour will feature Payne and four members of "Team Stage" — Gaby Diaz, Edson Juarez, Jim Nowakowski and Derek Piquette — alongside the top 5 members of "Team Street": Megan "Megz" Alfonso, Eddie "Neptune" Eskridge, Virgil Gadson, Jessica "JJ" Rabone and Jana "Jaja" Vankova.
As of Monday, Payne has survived into the final 8 contestants on the reality-competition show. Juarez and Rabone were eliminated last night.
Tickets for the Maverik Center stop go on sale Friday, Aug. 28, via TicketMaster.
