The dance talent show kicks off with the auditions, where the audience holds the power.

​New dance captain Todrick Hall joins Cheryl Tweedy, Matthew Morrison and Oti Mabuse.

The dance talent show returns, with dancers of any age and dance style competing to win £50,000 and a chance to perform on BBC Strictly Come Dancing.

Hoping to discover the greatest dancer are the superstar dance captains: multi-platinum-selling singer Cheryl Tweedy, Broadway and Glee star Matthew Morrison and Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse.  They are now joined by a brand new dance captain - pop star, dancer and choreographer to stars such as Beyonce Knowles and Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall.

The series is hosted by singer, and former BBC Strictly Come Dancing glitterball champion Alesha Dixon, and Jordan Banjo, member of award-winning dance troupe Diversity.

​Love Island participant and professional dancer Curtis Pritchard joins the show as the new 'receptionist', looking after all the acts backstage as they nervously await the biggest audition of their lives.

​At the auditions the audience holds the power, and only they will decide if the mirror opens for the acts or not.  The dancers need to impress 75% of the audience in attendance for the mirror to open and progress further in the competition.  And there is a brand new twist at the end of each episode, where one dance captain will get to pick one act and take them straight through to the live shows.

Get ready to see talent from across the world of dance, from ballet to jazz, street to ballroom, contemporary to krump, as they give the performances of their lives in the hope of opening the mirror.

Expect dramatic auditions, outstanding talent and jaw-dropping surprises.
