We here at The Mag have been following Canadian media for some time now (being that we, ourselves, are part of the Canadian media), and we all agree: ELECTRIC CIRCUS was the best thing that happened to Canadian programming.
Running through 1988- 2003, the show was like the SOLID GOLD of the 90’s. It was basically just local, professional dancers dancing at the Much headquarters downtown, but it also had performers on like Britney Spears, Pink, Aqua, O-Town, Bow Wow, Bubba Sparxxx, Eiffel 65, and many more.
But now, MuchMusic and 5 Gum are bringing ELECTRIC CIRCUS back for New Years Eve! ELECTRIC CIRCUS: NYE DANCE PARTY will be airing live from the MuchMusic HQ downtown Toronto on Saturday Dec. 31 from 10 p.m. ET to 12:15 a.m. ET. The evening will be hosted by RapCity’s Tyrone “T-RexXx” Edwards and EW.MUSIC.LIVE.’s Liz Trinnear. Plus, the evening will have two $5,000 cash-prize giveaways, a dance crew competition, videos, mashup’s, and more.
So, if you can’t make it to downtown Toronto for NYE, just watch the not-so-90’s version of the revived ELECTRIC CIRCUS on MuchMusic! In honor of the revival, we bring you our favourite EC moment that we could find on YouTube:
