"So You Think You Can Dance" celebrated the end of season 15 and a new winner on Monday night, when Hannahlei Cabanilla was crowned champion by host Cat Deeley.

In the finale episode, it came down to fan favorites Cabanilla and Jensen Arnold, the younger sister of "Dancing With The Stars" pro Lindsay Arnold. The result came down to one of the closest votes in the show's history.

As the confetti rained down on Cabanilla, she was beside herself as Arnold hugged her, and started to cry when Deeley asked her how she was feeling.

"I keep saying this all season but it feels like a dream being here, and making it all the way to the end, being the winner, it's a dream come true," she said. "I can't even wrap my brain around it because I've been dreaming of this moment and it just happened and I don't know how I feel!"
