So You Think You Can Dance winner Joshua Allen has died aged 36.

The dance star’s family confirmed he died on Wednesday, but did not share his cause of death.

Allen won the fourth series of the US dance competition show in 2008, clinching the $250,000 prize money for the flagship Fox series.

His runner-up on the show was the late Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who died in December 2023, aged 40.

Allen’s family have told TMZ that they are asking fans for ‘privacy and prayers’ in the wake of his death.

His friend and fellow choreographer Emmanuel Hurd said he was shocked by the loss to the dance community, describing Allen as ‘a very honest, real person’. ‘He didn’t always do things the way that everybody thought he should, but that’s why he was a winner,’ Hurd told the publication.
