FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance is best known for making unknown dancers’ dreams come true, and now the hit show can also stake claim to breaking music acts on the rise.

Millions of fans had grown to love the melodic pop ditty Shine by Brooklyn-based indie rockers Black Gold -- which was cued as the swan song for each week’s eliminated dancer -- and on August 12, they were treated to a live performance of the song during the show’s season finale.

EXCLUSIVE: Miley Cyrus Dirty Dancing Shocking Home Video On The Market

Disney star Miley Cyrus created waves last year when provocative photos were posted of her giving a lap dance to The Last Song producer Adam Shankman, but RadarOnline.com has learned that the photos were just the beginning -- video exists that is much more suggestive!

PHOTOS: Miley And Boyfriend Liam Hemsworth Down Under

“The video was taken about seven months ago at a wrap party for The Last Song,” the source exclusively told RadarOnline.com. “The worst part is that there were little kids at the party and the dancing between Miley and Adam was so dirty that some of the parents actually left the party and took their kids home.”

The video, which RadarOnline.com has seen, shows Shankman on the dance floor with a drink in hand grinding up against Cyrus’ backside while she grinds back. At one point Cyrus turns around and seductively opens the top layer of her shirt, teasing Shankman with her flirty dance moves.

Although Shankman is an openly gay man, sources tell RadarOnline.com that the dancing was “very inappropriate” and they fear that Cyrus, 17, is “heading down the same path as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.”

In a second clip to the video, Cyrus is seen giving Shankman a lap dance while children under the age of 10 sit less than five feet away watching the Hannah Montana star, and neither her mother Tish nor father Billy Ray were present at the party sources tell RadarOnline.com.

“Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room!” Shankman said last year, defending the photos he posted of Miley giving him a lap dance on Twitter. “Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She’s my little angel sister.”

AUDIO: Miley Cyrus Says She And Liam Hemsworth Have A "Deep Connection"

Miley Cyrus rang into the Johnjay and Rich show Thursday morning on KIIS FM in Phoenix, Arizona to promote her upcoming movie, The Last Song and talk about her co-star and boyfriend, Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth, and RadarOnline.com has all the dish.

PHOTOS: Miley And Liam In Australia

When asked if she was finally going public with her relationship, Miley pointed out that it’s hardly been a secret! And as she put it, “Everyone knew we were dating. I mean, who flies to Australia just to visit with a ‘friend’?”

Miley denied rumors that Liam is living with her, but did gush that the two of them have a “deep connection” that is “deeper” than most people.

Miley said that what she loves most about Liam is that he has his own career and set goals and she doesn’t feel he is using her to get fame. “I feel like I’ve been with people before, both in the public eye and out of the public eye, that may need something from me,” Miley candidly shared. “He’s not like that. He was already successful, he was already cast in the movie, he didn’t need me for that. He doesn’t need me to make him famous. He’s got his career and his goals and that’s awesome.”

Touching on her Oscars flub, Miley said that she wasn’t that nervous before going on stage but co-presenter Amanda Seyfried, “got me freaked out” and she said that also just before stepping on stage Oscar producer, Adam Shankman, unnerved her by telling her, “Add personality to it!”

Miley said that she’s “super stoked” about The Last Song and that she hopes “for the first time people will take me seriously” but if they don’t she’s “ready for the ups and downs, I’m so excited, no-one can take that away from me.”

And for all the haters out there? Miley says, “I may not be the best singer in the world, but I don’t lip synch, I’m honest. I’m honest in acting too – I’m going to chose roles I like. I’m doing what I like, people that are dogging me probably aren’t which is why they’re down on me., I want to tell them ‘go get a hobby!’”

And The New Judge On SYTYCD Is ...

DNP Random Things

Adam Shankman has produced, directed and choreographed his way to being one of the top behind-the-scenes movers and shakers in show biz; now he gets to add another title to his resume: TV dance judge.

Shankman, the director of hits such as 17 Again, Hairspray and Bedtime Stories, will join Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe on the panel of Fox's hit show, So You Think You Can Dance.

Shankman said the show "is one of the most important things to happen in the last decade for the art form.

"Choreography is how I found my way into this business, and I’m proud to be a part of the show," Shankman said. "As a filmmaker, it’s an honor to be able to recognize choreographers and dancers, and to be able to bring all of this amazing work into America's homes. These kids challenge themselves every week, and it’s great for people to see how terrific these dancers are.”

Equally as ecstatic about Shankman joining the show is executive producer (and fellow judge) Nygel Lythgoe, who said Shankman "is a consummate professional with a passion for dance and a discerning eye, which makes him perfect for us. Plus, it must be remembered, it takes a slightly crazy person to work with me and Mary."

So You Think You Can Dance airs on Fox Tuesdays at 9 p.m. and Wednesdays 8 p.m.
