Show like So You Think You Can Dance certainly have done a lot to raise the popularity of dance. In fact, we haven't experienced that same popularity since the golden age of variety television on CBC in the 1950s.
There are a number of filmmakers, such as Moze Mossanen and Rhombus Media, doing a lot of dance productions, but they're now having a terrible time getting productions made and aired because of cutbacks at the CBC.
