Summary
"The series will be presented by Blue Peter presenter Lindsey Russell and the dancers will audition in front of three industry experts - Kimberly Wyatt, dancer, former Pussycat Doll and newly crowned Celebrity Masterchef champion. John Partridge brings a performance pedigree to the judging panel that ranges from the West End to EastEnders and includes primetime Saturday night television such as BBC One’s Over the Rainbow and Tumble...
"...This is the ultimate talent show for The Next Step fans. Over 1,300 dancers uploaded audition videos to CBBC for the chance to be selected for regional auditions. Taking The Next Step is now inviting successful dancers to attend auditions in Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and London, with the successful candidates going forward to attend national auditions. From the nationals, the judges will select a final six to travel to Canada and continue the selection process, moving even closer to The Next Step dream! Once in Canada, the pressure is really on as they meet the cast and perform challenges on set in The Next Step studios. Only one of them can achieve the ultimate goal and be chosen for the coveted guest role on The Next Step, season four.
"Viewers will be able to follow every step of the journey as cameras cover the audition process..."[2]
