The live performance show (Gala) portion of the competition began on May 30, with a Top 20 dancers. As with other shows in the So You Think You Can Dance franchise, dancers were paired into couples for duet routines (in styles drawn at random) with home viewers casting votes by phone for their favorite couples and the six dancers from the three couples receiving the lowest number of votes subject to being the two dancers sent home that week by the judge decision. These six dancers are each afforded one more thirty second solo to help effect this decision.
6th Week (Top 10) – July 4th, 2010
At this point in the competition new partners began to be assigned weekly, and voting was made by individual dancers rather than for couples. The judge's also lost their authority to choose who would be eliminated from the bottom dancers each week, with eliminations decided solely on viewer votes. Dance styles continued to be randomly assigned and all remaining dancers performed a solo each week, regardless of whether they were in the bottom dancers.
9th Week (Top 4/Grand Finale) - July 25, 2010
The Top Four Grand Finale featured the dancers coupled in every combination for duets as well as solo performances. Marco Ferreira was ultimately announced winner of the competition and “Portugal's Favorite Dancer.”
