ATLANTA - Oglethorpe University senior Sean Freeman knows he can dance. As a semi-finalist on the second season of Fox’s hit reality show “So You Think You Can Dance?” the rest of America is about to find out.

Freeman was given the opportunity to privately audition for the show in April at Dance 101 in Atlanta, where he takes lessons. From there he was given a “golden ticket” for the auditions held in Charleston, South Carolina. This ticket allowed Freeman to skip the first day of auditions in Charleston and go straight to call backs where he did freestyle dance and learned choreographed solo and partner dances. The audition process was long but Freeman left Charleston with a plane ticket to the semi-finals in Las Vegas.

Freeman is one of 120 semi-finalists who flew to Las Vegas to audition on the Aladdin Theatre stage, learned choreography by the best in the business and will have their fancy foot worked aired on primetime television. “I would’ve never thought that I would have made it to the top 50 out of 8,000 dancers across the United States seeing that I’ve been dancing for only five years when most of the other dancers have been doing it their whole life,” said Freeman.

Freeman, from Little Rock, Arkansas, has been the captain of the Oglethorpe University dance team Khayos for three years and starred in Oglethorpe’s production of Beloved this spring. He is a communications and business administration major with a political science minor and is a member of the Rich Foundation Urban Leadership Program. “This experience has taught me nothing is out of my reach. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after graduation; now I know I want to be in the entertainment industry.”

“So You Think You Can Dance?” airs Wednesdays and Thursdays, at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.
