First look at The Greatest Dancer season 2


The new season of Simon Cowell and Syco Entertainment's show The Greatest Dancer returns in January,


Hoping to discover The Greatest Dancer are the superstar Dance Captains: Multi-platinum-selling singer Cheryl, Broadway and Glee star Matthew Morrison and Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse. They are now joined by a brand new Dance Captain - pop star, dancer and choreographer to stars such as Beyonce and Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall.


The series is hosted by singer, rapper and former Strictly Champion Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo, member of multi-award winning dance troupe Diversity.



At the auditions the audience hold the power, and only they will decide if the mirror opens for the acts or not. The dancers need to impress at least 75% of the audience for the mirror to open and progress in the competition. 


And there is a brand new twist at the end of each episode, where one Dance Captain will get to pick one act and take them straight through to the live shows.


Get ready to see talent from across the world of dance from ballet to jazz, street to ballroom, contemporary to Krump as they give the performances of their lives in the hope of opening the mirror.


Expect dramatic auditions, outstanding talent and jaw dropping surprises. But who will become The Greatest Dancer? 


The Greatest Dancer returns Saturday 4th January, 7pm on BBC One
