“Have you ever dreamed of being a professional dancer in a world class dance show? Well, now here’s your chance. We’re looking for dancers from all around the world from diverse backgrounds so why don’t you shoot your video in a location that means ‘home’ to you and you could be part of the final auditions that take part in May”.   John McColgan
“We’re looking for Irish, Flamenco, Street, Latin, Afro Cuban and Street dancers. As a choreographer I love to be inspired by dancers from any genre. We’re looking for strong dancers with great technique and that something special”. David Bolger

“During my career as a professional dancer, I was a lead dancer with Riverdance and I’ve been a judge on the reality shoe ‘An Jig Gig’ for four seasons. I know what it takes. I’m looking for passion in every dancer. In Irish male dancers I’m looking for strength and power. In female dancers they should have elegance and skill. I’m looking for that magic ingredient that lights up the stage” Dearbhla Lennon

“So, why don’t you take this unique opportunity by uploading your video to hoh.fusio.dev. Remember, as the judges we want to see your pride, passion and creativity shine through. Showcase your talent to music that inspires you or simply create an accapela piece to showcase your rhythm. We want to see you perform at your best!!! ” Padraic Moyles
