So You Think You Can Dance?





So you think you can jump Canada? So you think you can shake Canada? So you think you can DANCE CANADA? That right folks the infectious reality show SYTYCD is making its long anticipated debut on the Canadian stage this fall. Although it will be SYTYCD Canada’s first season, we Canadians know the drill. So You Think You Can Dance Canada will showcase dancers as they compete to impress an expert panel of judges during a cross-country audition process. Selected competitors will be invited to call-backs where they will work with some of Canada's top choreographers.
The panel will then choose the Top 20 dancers to move on in the competition. Then, it's up to Canada to decide who stays and who goes as the public votes for their favorites following weekly performance episodes in which the competitors are assigned different partners and dance styles to perform. And I know what you’re thinking Canada! What about all the amazing choreographers and crazy judges we’ve come to love? Will it be the same with out them? Don’t get your pointe shoes in a knot just yet! Jean Marc Generous, who is best known as a choreographer for the U.S. SYTYCD will be a permanent judge this season. Toronto’s very own Blake McGrath will be appearing as both a choreographer and an alternate third judge. Other familiar faces include broadway and hip hop legend Dan Karaty and of course the “Queen of Scream”, Ms. Mary Murphy. Also look out for some fresh but legendary faces such as world renowned ballet dancer Rex Harrington and the new Jonas Brothers choreographer, Paul Becker. And with host Leah Miller what’s not to like! So from hip hop to Broadway, salsa to contemporary, Canadian dancers will definitely rock the country this season. So watch out U.S., it’s Canada’s turn!
