So You Think You Can Dance (Belgium and the Netherlands, TV series) season 2

Unlike the first season, the second season featured a less permanent make-up for the Judge panel with Dan Karaty, Jan Kooijman and Nicky VerNew with one being occasionally replaced for a week by a guest judge.

Initial open auditions were held over two days in Antwerp, with highlights broadcast as the first four episodes of the season. Of the initial auditioners, 120 were selected to progress to a group choreography round in Amsterdam. From this pool, 30 dancers were selected to participate in an intensive series of workshops known as "Bootcamp." The bootcamp for the second season was held in Los Angeles and featured choreographers Travis Payne, Timor Steffens and Kherington Payne, a former contestant on the original American series. From these competitors the judges ultimately chose the Top 18 dancers who would perform in the main competitions, or "Live Shows."

From the Top 18 to the Top 10, the bottom three couples, based on each week's vote, would be in danger of elimination from the competition and would be required to "Dance for their lives" (perform a solo) to avoid being the one of the two dancers dismissed. From the Top Ten to the finale, dancers received votes as individuals and not couples and eliminations were determined solely by home viewer votes.

^1 Suurmeijer replaced original Top 18 finalist Ine Vanbesien after she had to voluntarily withdrawal from the competition. Suurmeijer herself had almost made the Top 18 originally, but had to withdrawal from Bootcamp early due to an injury which was healed by the live shows, allowing her to step in for Vanbesien. Suurmeijer then suffered another injury during rehearsals for the third week of the live shows, leading to her withdrawal as well, allowing contestant Saartje Van de Casteele (eliminated in week 2) to return.
