    Miami, FL (CNS) -- The "So You Think You Can Dance Tour" has it's final
    show tonight in Tampa, FL and the thirteen top finalists from Season
    4 of the hit Fox show are not looking forward to their last dance.

    "We're really upset. We really don't want it to end," said Courtney
    Galiano, the season's top 4 finalist. "Especially these last few days,
    we've had so much fun together but we started to realize that it's all
    coming to an end," said Gev Manoukian, an Armenian/Russian hip-hop
    dancer and top 10 finalist. The dancers, who have been on the road
    since September, all shared this sentiment. "I think we've all grown
    so close to each other that we call each other a family now," said
    Latin ballroom dancer Chelsie Hightower. "This whole experience has
    been absolutely amazing and incredible. It's a very sad time because
    we're leaving everything, but it's also a very exciting time because
    now it's time to start new things and explore. I'm really excited
    to see where we all end up and what we all do." Galiano explained
    how coming off a show like "So You Think You Can Dance" is different
    from other reality shows. "I think this show allows dance to get the
    recognition that it deserves," she said. "We're all really sad to go
    back into the real world. It is definitely a springboard for us into
    bigger and better things which is really wonderful. But it's not like
    'American Idol' where you get signed right after that and there's a
    contract waiting for you. It's a lot more difficult. This business
    it's 9 times out of 10 about rejection." Past "So You Think You
    Can Dance" graduates have filmed parts in movies, worked with major
    artists like Miley Cyrus and have choreographed for major projects,
    including numbers on later seasons of "So You Think You Can Dance."

    Galiano said she really likes touring and would love to work with
    artists like Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Rihanna and Celine
    Dion. Hightower, with her ballroom dancing background, said ABC's
    "Dancing With The Stars" is a possibility for the future. She would
    join Lacey Schwimmer as the second "So You Think You Can Dance" alumni
    to join the popular ABC program. As exciting as the future is for these
    dancers who just headlined their own tour, Galiano says she'll miss
    "everything" about touring with the other finalists. "Everything from
    being with everyone, being in the different cities and traveling,
    and performing on the stage, to getting our butts woken up at 3 in
    the morning because we just reached our hotel where we're staying,"
    she said. "Everything."
