Cherchez La Moose: So You Think You Can Dance Canada features dancers with as much talent and X factor as any other version in the world. What I find to be lacking in the Canadian series is innovative and memorable choreography. Stacey Tookey is on a mission to change that. She choreographed several of the best routines in Season 1, was scouted for the US version, and is becoming a fan favourite down in the States as well. The routine that I uploaded is from Season 2 of our series, which features the talented Kim Gingras and Emanuel Sandhu from Montreal and Vancouver, respectively. The routine is art in motion - everything from the costumes, dancing, lighting, and music are all perfectly matched and cohesive. The moments where Gingras and Sandhu freeze and a sepia tone lights the stage (meant to represent a dated photograph, I'm assuming) are more profound than anything I've seen to date on our series.
