Summer’s hottest Canadian dance series is back! Hosted by Leah Miller, the Gemini Award-winning SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA returns and is cranking up the heat for Season 3, beginning with the Toronto auditions. Weighing in on whether or not Canada’s dancers have what it takes are judges Jean Marc Genereux (ballroom champion and guest judge/choreographer on the U.S. version of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE), Tré Armstrong (How She Move), Luther Brown (urban choreographer/Sean Combs) and guest judge Mary Murphy from the U.S. version of the hit series. Judge and choreographer Blake McGrath also returns to put the dancers through the paces during the feared Blake’s Boot Camp.
