MTV's Wade Robson Project

Choreographer Wade Robson, who has masterminded moves for the likes of NSYNC, Britney Spears and many other top performers set his sights set on finding the best amateur dancer in America and did just that.

The summer of 2003, auditions were held in LA, NY, Chicago and Atlanta to find some of the best talent around.  After the masses of hopefuls that auditioned, only 80 were given that once in a lifetime opportunity to head to LA and take their shot at $100,000, $10,00 wardrobe and the chance to be in a music video.

Some of the featured guest judges include artists JC Chasez, Jessica Simpson, Justin Guarini, Mya, Nick Carter, Dream and Murphy Lee.  Also serving as guest judges were choreographers Dave Scott, Rich & Tone, Robin Antin, Eddie Garcia, Jamal and Rosero, Shawnette Heard, Fatima Robinson, Cris Judd and Travis Payne.

Dancers first showed off their own freestyle, then after two eliminations had to master Wade's complex choreography to advance to the next level.  When all was said and done, four finalists remained for the LIVE finale.  Viewers were then able to vote for their favorite and the end resulted with Tyler Banks being declared the winner.
