The search for our nation’s next favourite dancer is on. The prize for our eventual winner is $200 000 plus overseas dance opportunities and more.

If you’re Australian, aged 18 to 35 as of 1st February 2009 and love dancing - we can’t wait to meet you - whatever your moves.

This year we are also on the hunt for UNIQUE styles of dance that are hard to learn and take years to perfect. We are committed to showcasing these specialist genres on our studio shows. So we’re calling all tappers, poppers, breakers, acrobats, contortionists, ballet dancers, traditional dancers, in fact whatever your style - amateur or pro - come and show us your stuff…seriously.

All dancers are welcome at all auditions on all days in all cities. We respect commitment, tenacity and a fighting spirit. So good luck and we’ll see you in:
