'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'America's Best Dance Crew' won't be left Spark-less

For those of you worried that "Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew" judge Shane Sparks wouldn't be appearing on FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance," rest easy. The fan favorite will be making time for both.

Avid viewers of the "SYTYCD" were afraid Sparks' judging duties over on MTV -- alongside Lil Mama and JC Chasez -- would prevent him from taking part in Season 4, but Sparks confirmed his involvement before the live broadcast of the "Dance Crew" final auditions on Saturday, June 7 in Los Angeles.

He will be choreographing a group number for the June 17th episode.

"I think I'm going to be doing "Elevator" [by Flo Rida featuring Timbaland]...I'm getting it together as we speak," says the hip-hop choreographer. "That's still my show. I'm definitely going to be there."

Sparks, whose dance classes are legendary, is best known for co-choreographing "You Got Served," judging and choreographing for "SYTYCD" since its first season and working with artists including Aaliyah, Omarion, Marques Houston, and the very street Lindsay Lohan ("2004 MTV Movie Awards").
