Quick facts Hosted by, Judges ...

Contemporary contestant Ricky Ubeda won the competition, and his prizes include $250,000, the chance to appear on the cover of Dance Spirit magazine, the offer of a role in the 2014 Broadway revival of the musical On the Town as choreographed by one of this season's guest choreographers, Joshua Bergasse, and the title of America's Favorite Dancer. The runner-up was tap contestant Valerie Rockey. This season saw the show eliminate interactive viewer participation by telephone, with producers preferring to divert weekly voting to the show's website and the network's new proprietary smartphone app, a process that reduced the overall number of votes each participating viewer could cast each week. Ubeda and fellow grand finalist Valerie Rockey, who were paired as a couple from the first performance episode, became the sixteenth contestants in the show's run never to face elimination from being among the bottom six or bottom four contestants, became the thirteenth contestants to be in the grand finale, and became the fifth couple in the show's run never to face elimination from being among the bottom six or bottom four contestants in the grand finale and became the original couple who were the final two.

–Moore and fellow grand finalist Mark Germor, who were paired as a couple from the first performance episode, became the fourteenth contestants in the show's run never to face elimination from being among the bottom six or bottom four contestants, became the ? contestants to be in the grand finale, and became the fourth pair in the show's run never to face elimination from being among the bottom six or bottom four contestants in the grand finale.

Callbacks

Perspective

In a change from the procedure of the previous nine seasons, in which post-open-audition callbacks were held in Las Vegas and referenced collectively as "Vegas Week", season 11's callbacks were held in Los Angeles, with no special nomenclature. A total of 157 contestants began the week by performing a solo; those contestants not cut at this point went on to learn and perform various styles of choreography with cuts being made after every round. At the end of the final round of the week, 44 contestants remained, from which the judges selected a Top 20 to proceed into the performance show stage of the competition.
