THE long-awaited moment has finally arrived: `So You Think You Can Dance` is coming to Canada! This will be Canada's time to shine--to showcase to the rest of the world what great talent we produce. So You Think You Can Dance, which first aired 3 years ago for us Canucks, was of course based in the United States. Every week of the season we tuned in to watch the dancers learn and master--or not--different types of dance techniques, and show their versatility and adaptability by changing up their dance partners. Collaborating with some of the finest choreographers of the industry, scintillating dance routines had viewers enthralled, and tossing in the occasional singer celebrity performance didn't ever hurt ratings either.
I am excited to see how Canada will be perceived. Other competitive Canadian shows that spun off from its American sibling, such as Canadian Idol and Canada's Next Top Model, never really impressed until their second cycles, and luckily we got those chances! Hopefully SYTYCDC will break this nasty cycle and reign supreme! I do have to say that I am a tad bit biased to this up-and-coming Canadian televised competition--having some dance background myself, I have a lot of respect for this art form. All the best, Canada--show us your moves!
So You Think You Can Dance Canada will be aired on CTV. Details soon to be announced.
