Hi, So You Think You Can Dance Canada producers, my name is jordyn and I am 12 years old, before So You Think You Can Dance Canada came, I always said when I am 18 I would move to the closest audition place to home here in New Brunswick, just so I could audition. I have been dancing since I was 2 and I am so super happy that we finally have a canadian version, I have one question though… My birthday is in January and when I turn 18 would I be eligible to audition even though the legal age is 19? I seriously am so hyper already and I am only 12! I dance all different types of dance, Ballet I am already on pointe and I am skipping a level(from grade 4 to grade 6 out of 8) (R.A.D), Jazz (level 6 out of 8), Contemporary (level 3 out of 4), Highland (level 4 out of 5) and I used to dance Hip-Hop but my dance teacher had to go to University so they stopped teaching it, and in September they are starting a senior Hip-Hop. By the way, my dance teacher Corissa Holland auditioned this year! Thank-you for your time hope to see you in 2014!

What are the lyrics to the commercial? Is sounds like ‘wine a pie, wine a pie, yayah’ and it’s stuck in my head!

For those wondering (Ian Brown and Nasi) the song on the commercial is Kat de Luna ft. Elephant Man, singing “Whine Up”
“… ooo-oh, yeah!”
