You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''So You Think You Can Dance Canada''''' is a [[dance competition]] and [[reality show]] that aired on [[CTV Television Network|CTV]].

Based on the original American TV show ''[[So You Think You Can Dance (U.S. TV series)|So You Think You Can Dance]]'', the Canadian series showcased the best in Canadian dancing talent.  Each season, the show held auditions in major cities across the country, looking for the top dancers in Canada. Competitors of all genres and styles tried to impress the judges in the hopes of making the Top 20, which gave them the opportunity to perform on national television.

During each week's performance show, couples competed for the votes of the viewing public; the three couples receiving the fewest votes are forced to "dance for their lives" during the results show in an attempt to prove to the judges that they deserve to stay. Following this, the judges eliminated one man and one woman from the competition — for the first five weeks, the judges themselves chose who stays and who goes, but starting in Top 10 week, the voters alone decided which dancers continued on in the competition.  Ultimately, one dancer prevailed.  During the season finale, this person was crowned "Canada's Favourite Dancer", and received a prize of CDN $100,000 and a new car. In Seasons 2 and 3, the runner-up also received a new car.

The show was hosted by former ''[[ETalk]]'' correspondent and ''[[MuchMusic]]'' [[VJ (media personality)|VJ]] [[Leah Miller]].  The judging panel featured two permanent judges, [[Jean-Marc Généreux]] and [[Tré Armstrong]], and usually two rotating guest judge spots.  Over the years, guest judges have included [[Karen Kain]] and [[Rex Harrington]] from the [[National Ballet of Canada]], ''[[High School Musical]]'' director [[Kenny Ortega]], well-known Broadway choreographer [[Sergio Trujillo]], and [[Mary Murphy (choreographer)|Mary Murphy]] and [[Dan Karaty]], who are both veteran judges on the US version of the show.

During its run, the show featured many well-known Canadian choreographers, including [[Luther Brown]], [[Blake McGrath]], [[Stacey Tookey]], [[Sean Cheesman]], Melissa Williams, [[Sabrina Matthews]] and [[Paul Becker]].  In addition, many choreographers from the US version of the show have also done work for ''So You Think You Can Dance Canada'' including [[Mia Michaels]], [[Mandy Moore (choreographer)|Mandy Moore]], [[Tony Meredith]] and [[Melanie LaPatin]], [[Benji Schwimmer]], [[Lil' C]] and [[Tyce Diorio]]. As in the American edition, the show's choreographers may also sometimes act as guest judges.

The show has also been noted for being one of the first ''SYTYCD'' shows in the world to introduce some international dance styles, including [[Jazz dance|African jazz]], Jamaican [[dancehall]] and India's [[Bollywood]] into the competition.<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/article/851515--a-dance-show-as-diverse-as-canada "A dance show as diverse as Canada"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', August 23, 2010.</ref>

On September 13, 2011, two days after the fourth-season finale, CTV announced that it was not renewing ''So You Think You Can Dance Canada''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/ctv-will-not-order-new-season-of-so-you-think-you-can-dance-canada-129746908.html|title=CTV axes 'Hiccups,' 'Dan for Mayor,' 'So You Think You Can Dance Canada'|publisher=The Canadian Press|date=September 13, 2011 |accessdate=September 13, 2011))</ref> In its announcement, the network noted that Season 4 was the lowest rated season 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 installments aired in the fall, while the fourth aired in the summer - which traditionally has lower viewership across the board.

Season 4 still garnered over one million viewers and was the networks number 2 Canadian entertainment series and number 1 in the 18-34 demographic.<ref>((cite web |url=http://tvfeedsmyfamily.blogspot.ca/2011/09/sandra-faire-fires-back-on-dance-canada.html |title=Producer fires back on Dance Canada departure |accessdate=January 14, 2013))</ref>
