Next week judges and dancers head to the infamously grueling call backs, which will take place in Los Angeles.

All the dancers who have made it through are excited to show their stuff, especially one young man who is no stranger to the show's stage.

He had chosen to do tap numbers for his earlier auditions, but opted instead for hip-hop this year given the success of the style on the show. The performer studied hard over the last few years and even tried to learn Ballroom, knowing the skill to be of particular importance to there judges.

The dancer charmed the judges and audience alike with his uniquely endearing personality. He received a lot of laughs in the beginning, but when it got down to the dancing, he proved that he had some incredible skill.

The eleventh season of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance? continues with the next round of cuts Wednesday, June 25.
