NEW YORK – July 6, 2011 – A so-new episode of “The Glee Project” is back this Sunday, July 10 at 9PM ET/PT as the nine remaining contenders tackle the theme of “Danceability.” Newly announced ‘Glee’ regular Harry Shum Jr. (“Mike Chang”) mentors the contenders on their dance moves. One contender gets overly confident during MC Hammer’s high-octane “Can’t Touch This” group number. Following in this Sunday’s old-school theme, ‘The Glee Project’ fans will be able to participate in a watch-and-win sweepstakes. During Sunday’s episode, fans will be prompted to find a secret word and enter the sweeps at Oxygen.com (http://www.thegleeproject.oxygen.com). One lucky winner will win a phone call from their favorite contender. ‘The Glee Project’ Contender Call sweepstakes will only be available from 9pm EST to 1am EST.

Mostly known for his dance moves, Harry Shum Jr. has shot to “Glee” fame as the charming – and flexible – Mike Chang, Tina’s boyfriend. Shum was just upped to ‘Glee’ series regular along with Darren Criss, another guest mentor alum. Prior to joining the cast of “Glee,” Shum had roles in dance movie blockbusters like “You Got Served,” “Step Up 2: The Streets” and “Step Up 3D.”

From Ryan Murphy, the creator and Emmy® award-winning executive producer of “Glee,” and executive producer of “Glee” Dante Di Loreto, “The Glee Project” is a 10-episode competition series seeking to find the next star of “Glee” and will award one winner with the ultimate prize of a seven-episode role in season three of the hit FOX show. The series began with 12 extraordinarily talented individuals that were picked from thousands of entries, and an exhaustive nationwide and online talent search. The series uncovers a unique group of artists from both professional and amateur backgrounds, proving every underdog has a fighting chance at stardom. Each week one contender is sent home through intensive rounds of singing, dancing and acting based on assignments. During the final ‘Last Chance Round,’ the bottom three must perform for Ryan Murphy, casting director Robert Ulrich, and choreographer Zach Woodlee as they carefully assess which of them has what it takes to be one of the next new faces of the award-winning show.
