The 2011 season of So You Think You Can Dance is still in full swing, so I was a little surprised to already see TV ads for the Canadian version. Apparently, season 4 of SYTYCDC (So You Think You Can Dance Canada) starts on June 20th, so it looks like there will be a huge overlap with the two. Not that I’m complaining — I love both shows, even if I’m not a fan of Leah Miller.
SYTYCDC’s TV spot is pretty spot on. It’s weird, but not too out there. I see lots of skin, tatoos, and mohawks. I love the music used as well. (According to Shazam, the song is “Gotta Be Home” by Boney M.)
The amazing Mia Michaels choreographed the spot. Regarding the concept, this quote probably explains it all:
“The commercial is a reflection of the show, mimicking the struggle, the fight and the warrior that each competitor has inside of them,” says Amanda Cleghorn, who is featured in the promo, along with fellow Season 3 dancers Nathalie Heath, Jeff Mortensen and Jonathan Arsenault.
