Our colleague Andrew Blankstein is reporting that salsa instructor Alex Da Silva, who choreographed dance routines for the popular Fox series ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ has been charged with sexually assaulting four women. He was arrested by Los Angeles police this morning at his North Hollywood home.

Blankstein reports that the alleged assaults took place between August 2002 and March 2009. The victims were either dancers or aspiring dancers who met Da Silva at his dance classes. Da Silva is being held on $6.2 million bail.
