Who is this project for?: The Professional Dancers Showcase (PDS) is for well trained, confident dancers. You must be talented, able to pick up and recall choreography, light up the performance space, be independent, self-sufficient, driven, organized and ready to give 100%. You must be available to rehearse, perform and train and you need to be able to support yourself financially, get the time off study/work, and organize your passport and visa. The application process is simple. The decision of the selection panel is final.
- Take part in a session with dance agents from BLOC, Clear Talent Group (CTG) and MSA. All three agencies have international clients and love dancers from Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia and have confirmed in face to face meetings in September 2024 that they are looking for new clients and signing when they see someone incredible. We encourage you to take a look at their rosters.
- Perform with OVERNIGHT – Australia’s hottest boyband in the Hollywood Christmas Parade on Hollywood Boulevard in front of over a 1 000 000 people live along the parade route and a television audience of over 100 000 000 people on 1st December. Perform at Santa’s arrival in front of thousands of people on December 7th, 2024.
- Be part of the cast of a commissioned US pilot about dancers and choreographers at Eighty Eight Studios in LA. Film crew will be shooting throughout the project in LA. Dancers will be interviewed and filmed while rehearsing and performing. (You can opt out if you do not want to take part in the shoot. It doesn’t capture ‘drama’ it’s a documentary not reality television about the art of dance in LA).
- Receive an IMDb credit as a dancer in a TV pilot.
- Take part in LIMITLESS – an exclusive seven days of intensive masterclasses (9.00am – 5.00pm) at Eighty Eight Studios in LA – the hottest dance studio for industry professionals – coordinated by Nick Gilligan (Credits include Whitney Houston, RUN DMC, Dua Lipa, Miguel, PINK, Will.i.am, Rita Ora, Gwen Stefani, Ellie Goulding, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Grammy Awards and MTV) and Caoife Coleman (Greatest Showman, Dua Lipa, Nicole Sherzy, Jonas Bro’s, Sean Paul, Rita Ora, One Direction & MANY more). Masterclasses will be taught by some of LA’s hottest choreographers. In 2023 teachers included Alekz Samone, Ari Galindo, Cameron Giles, Cameron Lee, Cristian House, Regendary, Phi Voba, Josh Price, Darrius Leflore, DJ Smart and more.
- Take part in a professional dance showcase – where you will perform in at least five routines for LA’s top agents, managers and casting directors. Dancers will be invited to the exclusive afterparty. (Under 21’s will be catered for).
What is the age range?
The producers are looking for two specific groups.
1) Adult dancers aged 18 plus who have trained in a full time course, are midway, or are about to enter one and are ready to compete on an international level. (Please see separate section on page five)
2) Emerging dancers aged 15 – 17 years (those still training with their dance studio and are of extraordinary ability). It is ideal that a parent guardian travel with them, although a letter of emancipation for the project dates can be organized.

If over 18 you will need to provide your Working with Children Check number prior to applying. (Your application number – the one you are granted online is sufficient for the application).
