Returning judge Nigel Lythgoe, who's also the show's executive producer, said the 12th season will include a twist: Stage dancers will compete against street dancers.

Cat Deeley will be back as host, Fox said. Auditions for the new season begin Saturday in New York.

Singer-dancer Abdul, who handled choreography for artists including Prince, George Michael and Heart, was a judge on Australia's version of "So You Think You Can Dance."
