As announced during the MMVAs, the eagerly-awaited second season of "So You Think You Can Dance Canada" jump starts CTV's fall schedule with a four-hour two-night premiere on Tuesday, August 11 at 8 p.m. ET and Wednesday, August 12 at 8 p.m. ET. Encore episodes begin airing Sunday, August 16 on MuchMusic (visit CTV.ca and muchmusic.com to confirm local broadcast times).
Premiering just one week after the season finale of this summer's most-watched television series "So You Think You Can Dance," Canadian dancers will captivate the country as they take centre stage this fall. "So You Think You Can Dance Canada" was the #1 new TV show in the country in 2008/2009, with an average of 1.4 million viewers weekly.*
Airing Tuesdays and Wednesdays on CTV, the series kicks off with the hard-hitting Toronto auditions, where hopefuls showed up for "So You Think You Can Dance Canada's" permanent judges, Jean Marc Genereux and Tré Armstrong plus returning guest judge Luther Brown, from the set of "So You Think You Can Dance" Mary Murphy, and Blake McGrath, who puts the competitors through the paces during his much anticipated and feared boot camp. The premiere episode is followed on Wednesday with highlights from auditions in Vancouver and Saint John.
Once again featuring Canada's most talented dancers, trained and untrained, as they compete for Canada's votes and strive to be named Canada's next Favourite Dancer, the Season 2 audition episode broadcast schedule unfolds as follows (all times ET; times and dates subject to change; visit ctv.ca to confirm local broadcast times):
