When you think of Jason Priestley, the first word that comes to mind isn’t “dancer.” The Vancouver-born actor studied dance in theatre school back in the mid-1980s “and that’s probably as far as that goes,” he says. But he had to put that training to use earlier this year for an episode of his Global TV series Private Eyes. In “Dance Dance Retribution,” which airs Wednesday at 9 p.m., Priestley’s character Matt Shade finds himself competing on a Dancing With the Stars-style reality show. “Matt Shade, no, not a dancer at all,” Priestley said over the phone. “Having the joy of getting to dance with her was a lot of fun for me.” The dance scenes were filmed in the winter at Toronto’s Masonic Temple.
