So You Think You Can Dance Canada (Season 1-4) Complete

"So You Think You Can Dance Canada" was a dance reality show and competition that aired on the CTV television network for four seasons. It was hosted by MuchMusic VJ and ETalk correspondent Leah Miller. The series was based on the original American TV series "So You Think You Can Dance".

Auditions for the first season began 7 April 2008 in Vancouver, British Columbia and ended in Toronto, Ontario on 8 June 2008. The show premiered on 11 September 2008, beginning with the Toronto auditions.

Season two auditions started 4 April 2009 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and were followed by more in Edmonton, Saint John, Toronto and finally in Montreal, Quebec on 26 May 2009. In the beginning of August 2009, at York University in Toronto, Ontario, 190 dancers were invited to participate in the callback auditions. During this final week of auditions, the number was first cut to 46 dancers (23 male, 23 female), and then to 20, by Jean-Marc Généreux, Tre Armstrong, Blake McGrath, and Luther Brown. The first post-auditions show premiered on 11 August 2009. Repeats of the performance and results shows always aired a week later on MuchMusic. Changes in the second season included the winner receiving $100,000 and the title of "Canada's Favourite Dancer". Also, both the winner and runner-up received a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport automobile.

The first show in season three aired on 15 August 2010. The first 6 broadcasts covered the auditions, which brought the field down to 22 dancers. There were a total of 24 broadcasts in season three. In addition to the winner receiving $100,000 and the title of "Canada's Favourite Dancer", both the winner and runner-up received a Mazda 2 automobile.

There were 23 episodes broadcast in season four, with the first on 20 June 2011, and the final one on 11 September 2011. Two days after the fourth season finale, CTV announced that it was not renewing "So You Think You Can Dance Canada". In its announcement, the network noted that season four was the lowest rated one to date, having lost 31% of its viewership since its initial season. However, it is difficult to compare ratings across seasons, as the first three seasons of the show aired in the fall, while the fourth aired in the summer - which traditionally has lower viewership across the board. Season four still garnered over one million viewers and was the network's number two Canadian entertainment series, and number one in the 18-34 demographic. Enjoy!
