Another change is the addition of a studio audience instead of being just the rest of auditioners and their supporters. In addition to the new judges, the televised auditions have been revamped so instead of remote tryouts, the contestants come to the new SYTYCD Hollywood studio, outfitted with 120 cameras surrounding the stage, allowing the movement to be "frozen" in time, like bullet time. From these, approximately 130 dancers were chosen by the producers to audition in Hollywood in March before the panel of judges. Those auditions, for dancers ages eighteen to thirty, took place with producers in: New York on FebruDallas on February 12 and Los Angeles on February 23. Madison Jordan, an eventual Top Six contestants, shared that she submitted her online video in January and was contacted a month later to in-person auditions. A forty-stop tour featuring the Top Ten contestants and two All-stars started soon after the finale and ran until December 2019. On September 16, 2019, Bailey Muñoz was crowned "America's Favorite Dancer" and became the first b-boy to win the title in the show's history. The judges decide which woman and man will be cut.

The following week, at the end of the show, the two women and two men with the lowest vote totals will be up for elimination. In episode ten, and for the rest of the season, the live Studio Performance Shows showcase the finalists in solos, duets, and group numbers, as they vie to connect with viewers who vote for their favorites. From those auditions, a pool of eighty-three contestants, who each earned a Golden Ticket advancing them to The Academy where they face, in the next episodes, six Academy Rounds that winnow down to the Top Ten-five women and five men-for the live shows.
