TORONTO - A Canadian version of the televised dance competition "So You Think You Can Dance" embarks on a five-city audition tour this spring.

Dance hopefuls can break out their best moves in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax, with a fifth city yet to be announced.

Audition information, including dates, locations and eligibility requirements, have also not been revealed yet.

"So You Think You Can Dance Canada" premieres this fall on CTV.

Other countries with their own version of the series include the United States, Australia, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa and Israel.

On the show, a panel of judges offers criticism and praise as competitors pair up to tackle a range of dance styles from hip-hop, krump and pop-and-lock to salsa, quickstep, ballroom and jive.

Viewers decide who stays and who goes with a weekly vote.
