'So You Think You Can Dance' teams up with video sharing app Vyclone

So You Think You Can Dance Season 11 is teaming up with the Vyclone app which allows viewers to upload videos of themselves dancing with their favorite SYTYCD contestants.

Think of it as the Twitter and Instagram "selfie" cut out promos Ryan Seacrest did during the last American Idol season except this time with videos.

Should be fun! I'm so excited!
