Got to Dance: Auditions Uncut International versions |
Got to Dance, originally titled Just Dance,[1] is a British dance competition that was broadcast on Sky One in the United Kingdom from 20 December 2009 to 28 December 2014. Auditions for the show were held in specially built "Dance Domes" and are open to all dance acts of any age, style or size but must be of an amateur level.
The show was hosted by Davina McCall, with Ashley Banjo and Kimberly Wyatt as judges. In series 1 to 3, Adam Garcia was a judge but was replaced by Aston Merrygold in series 4.[2] However, on 31 January 2014, Merrygold announced that he would be leaving the show.[3] Garcia returned as a judge for series 5 in 2014.[4] Since series 2, the prize money is £250,000 for the winning act. On 24 October 2014, it was announced that series 5 would be the last.[5]
Format
There were five stages to the competition:
- Stage 1: Producers' auditions (these auditions decide who will perform in front of the judges, but they are not broadcast or acknowledged on the show)
- Stage 2: Judges' auditions
- Stage 3: Callbacks (some acts may have to perform again at this stage for a place in the semi-finals)
- Stage 4: Live Semi-finals (each act performs in one semi-final, with only two advancing to the final, three in series 5)
- Stage 5: Live Final
Voting
Viewers in both Ireland and the United Kingdom could vote via Phone, Red Button (through Sky TV only) or via the official iPhone application, which was introduced in the second series. Viewers could vote for free using the Got to Dance website, which was introduced in the fourth series.

Series 2 (2011)
A second series of Got to Dance began with a special "Warm Up" show that was broadcast on 19 December 2010 then fully on 2 January 2011. The prize money for the second series was £250,000, the largest cash give-away on a television talent show (at the time).
The format of the second series of Got to Dance was slightly different to the first series. There were eight audition shows followed by four live semi-finals, and a live final at Olympia, London on 27 February 2011 in front of an audience of 6,000 people. The dance dome auditions for the series were held in Glasgow, Dublin & London.
The winning act, Chris and Wes, won the £250,000 prize money.
Callbacks
At the Callbacks, the judges could not decide between eight of the acts so they organised a dance-off to fill the last four semi-final places. The acts in each category had to "face-off" their opponent with one dance; the judges then decided the winner of the each "face-off" and that act went through to the live semi-finals.
The eight acts in the dance-off were:
- Alleviate (won) vs Sean and Stacey,
- Dance Dynamix (won) vs Frameous,
- Lauren Hair (won) vs Natalie,
- Addam McMillian vs Crazy Popper (paired as duo named Liquid Metallic)

Got to Dance bursary fund
The second series saw the introduction of the bursary fund.

It was expected to premiere on the Australian cable channel Fox8 later in 2012, with Andrew Günsberg as the host.[18] However, it was announced in June 2012 that the show was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict with another dance show Everybody Dance Now on Network Ten.[19]
