Two dancers were eliminated on So You Think You Can Dance tonight.

Only four weeks remain until the new favorite male and female dancers are crowned on the dance reality competition.

Tonight, after America’s vote was revealed, Witney Carson, Audrey Case, George Lawrence II and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp were the two guys and two girls who received the fewest votes.

After deliberating, Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Benjamin Millepied (“Black Swan”) – saved Witney Carson and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp from elimination and sent Audrey Case and George Lawrence II home.

The Top 10 finalists performed tonight for the first time with their All-Star partners. In addition, they performed an all-new group routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio. Also featured was a special performance by the L.A. Dance Project.

Next week, on Wednesday, Aug. 29 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the competition continues when the Top Eight finalists – Lindsay Arnold, Witney Carson, Eliana Girard, Cole Horibe, Tiffany Maher, Cyrus Spencer, Will Thomas and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp– will be paired with new All-Star partners. Additionally, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (“Modern Family”) will guest-judge.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 24 for the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE tour, which kicks off in San Diego, CA, on Tuesday, Oct. 23. More details can be found on www.fox.com/dance.
