Katie Holmes will perform a Judy Garland tribute on the 100th episode of the popular So You Think You Can Dance television show, announced the show's co-creator and judge Nigel Lythgoe.
In the midst of the show's competition on Wednesday night, Lythgoe announced that the non-profit Dizzy Feet Foundation, launched to raise and improve the level of dance, will provide scholarships and assistance to "underserved youth."
Lythgoe said that Dizzy Feet founding member Katie Holmes will perform a special Garland number, "Get Happy" on the show's 100th episode to "introduce the foundation to the public."
"I think it's important for children to experience music and dance," said Holmes. "Every child should have the opportunity to discover what it is they like and have access to the very best in that pursuit."
Lythgoe said that the Dizzy Feet Foundation's "mission is to provide scholarships an grants to talented dancers, choreographers and/or teachers working at or through accredited dance studios; to establish national standards for dance education and an accreditation program for dance; and to develop, provide an support dance education programs for underserved children by working through and with community organizations.
