This is perfect.

We saw her bust a move away back in the High School Musical days and she killed it in Grease Live last year and now Vanessa Hudgens has another exciting dance-related project on the cards.

The actress is set to join the judging panel on hit US show So You Think You Can Dance.

“I am so excited for Vanessa to join Mary [Murphy] and me on the judging panel for the 14th season of So You Think You Can Dance,” fellow judge Nigel Lythgoe told Page Six.

“There was instant chemistry in the audition rounds, and I know the ‘SYTYCD’ fans will love her as much as we do. Vanessa is an accomplished artist and brings her own brand of enthusiasm and energy to our panel.”

The actress brings a strong background in musical theatre to the new role – she’s been on stage since she was a child, appearing in productions of CarouselThe Wizard of OzThe King and IThe Music Man, and Cinderella.
