Canada will get to see the funky dance duo from Vancouver Island at least once more as they compete for $1 million.

Jacksun Fryer and Carlow Rush of Funkanometry were announced as one of 14 acts to make it to the next round of the talent competition series CanadaBԪַs Got Talent.

This is the first year the prize has ever been so high, noted a release from Rogers Communications, describing the amount as BԪַthe biggest cash prize in Canadian television history.BԪַ

The hip hop and popping dance duo were previously on the 2022 season of AmericaBԪַs Got Talent, and were eliminated in the semifinals.

While Fryer and Rush are the only Islanders to make the final cut, they will be joined by fellow British Columbian Eshan Sobti, a vocalist from Mission, next Tuesday, May 7, at 8 p.m. on CityTV.

The duo received four yeses from the seriesBԪַ judges Howie Mandel, Lilly Singh, Trish Stratus and Kardinal Offishall following their first appearance on the show April 2. FunkanometryBԪַs choreographed and mostly synchronous routine started off to Lynyrd SkynyrdBԪַs Sweet Home Alabama, but comically changed to QueenBԪַs DonBԪַt Stop Me Now.

BԪַYou are taking things from the old school, youBԪַre taking things from the new school and youBԪַre combining it,BԪַ said Offishall during the April 2 broadcast. BԪַYou guys are incredible and I loved it.BԪַ

Next weekBԪַs episode can be caught on the CityTV channel, streamed on the app CityTV Plus, or on the website .

If the duo makes it through to the finals at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagra Falls, Ont., airing May 14, theyBԪַll need fans to send in their votes to help them win the $1 million grand prize.
