Miller was also recently named one of Flare’s 30 most inspiring, newsworthy women to watch.

As host of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA, Miller leads viewers through the dancer’s journey as she gets up close and personal with the competitors during the audition process and stands by their sides as they face the judges during the live shows.

Blake McGrath - Judge

Originally from Mississauga, Ontario, Blake McGrath returns as judge and choreographer for Season 3. Currently residing in Los Angeles, McGrath continues to take the entertainment industry by storm.

At the age of 26, McGrath has already shared the stage with Madonna, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and more. Best known for his memorable appearances on the first season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE in the United States where he was a finalist, McGrath has also appeared on Jennifer Lopez’s TV series Dance Life.

Luther Brown is returning for the third season as judge and choreographer. Brown made his mark during the first season with his hard-hitting hip-hop choreography and no holds barred comments from behind the judge’s desk, and continued to create memorable routines throughout Season 2.

His creative, trendsetting and innovative vision has transformed the formerly unknown Toronto urban dance community into a thriving industry. As the founder and owner of Do Dat Entertainment, he created a movement that linked Toronto to the ever-growing entertainment segment of the United States.

As one of the most sought-out choreographers in North America today, his work has been featured in over 100 music videos for artists including Diddy, Janet Jackson, Brandy, Shawn Desman, FeFe Dobson, Jully Black, Danny Fernandes, and more.

Tre Armstrong

Returning as a SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA judge for a third season, Tré Armstrong is looking forward to finding Canada’s next favourite dancer. Armstrong’s dance school technical training in ballet and jazz alongside her unique flare for urban street dance shaped her into the multi-talented dancer, actress and choreographer she is today.

She has appeared on TOP O THE POPS, CANADIAN IDOL, BET’s 106 & PARK and The MTV Video Music Awards. Celebrities Armstrong has worked with (but not limited to) include: Rihanna, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jay-Z, Hilary Duff, Missy Elliot and Jason Derulo.

Jean Marc Genereux - Judge

Returning as a SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA judge for a third season, Quebec’s Jean Marc Genereux began dancing at age 10 with his partner, and now wife, France Mousseau, and within six years the pair had won every Regional and State Championship.

In the early 1980’s they began dancing the International style of ballroom dance and won multiple competitions and all the Major Championships in North America, participating in 10 World Championships as the first representatives for Canada. Genereux and Mousseau turned professional in 1987 and have danced in every major city around the world from Asia and Australia to Europe and America. In 12 years they won over 200 competitions.
