The Greatest Dancer

- Season 1

(2019)

Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo host the opening edition of the dance contest. The three dance captains are on hand to help the competitors, but it is the studio audience who decide who makes it through to the next round.

"Dad Dancing" will be taken to new heights by one of the acts as the auditions for the dance contest continue. Three superstar dance captains will be watching the dancers every move, but it is the audience who will vote to open the mirror.

Among the contestants this week are best friends Harry and Eleiyah, an 80-year-old ballet dancer and a little girl whose father is losing his sight who wins the hearts of everyone.

It is the last of the auditions - followed by the call-backs, where each of the dance captains must choose three acts to captain through the live challenge shows.

After 4 weeks of auditions the show goes live as the final 9 acts take to the stage for the challenge shows. Each week each dancer is set a challenge that must be tackled with their dance captain and viewers vote who stays on the show.

The competition continues as the remaining eight acts take to the stage for another live challenge show. Each of the dancers is set a challenge that must be tackled with the guidance of their dance captain.

The remaining 8 acts take to the stage in another live challenge show. The dancers are set their last challenge which they must tackle with their dance captains to create an unforgettable performance to seal a place in the final.

The four finalists take to the stage one last time. The dance captains mentor their remaining acts but it is the viewers at home who will decide who wins the fifty thousand pound prize and an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing (2004).
