Got to Dance 2011 unearthed some of the most amazing and unique dancing talent in the country and now itÂ’s back for a third series this January on Sky 1 HD.

The reality show looks to discover the countryÂ’s most talented dance floor divas by scouring the nation for Britain's best crews, troupes and solo dancers of all styles and ages.

Davina McCall hosts the competition that will push contestants to their limits as they strive to win the life-changing cash prize of £250k.

Auditions range from the comedic to the sublime and are judged by a panel of outspoken, world-class experts: West End star and actor, Adam Garcia; singer and trained dancer Kimberly Wyatt; and Ashley Banjo, lead dancer and choreographer of Diversity.

Davina said of the upcoming new series:

"I am literally beside myself with excitement at the return of our third series of Got to Dance.

"I love working with gorgeous Adam, lovely Kimberly and of course sweetheart Ashley! Just you wait until you see the auditions – this year the bar has been raised even higher with so many acts worthy of a quarter of a million.”

A total of eight audition shows have been filmed in Dublin, Glasgow and London. This year, the talent who have appeared in front of the judges have been of a world class level – from the experimental hip hop displayed by Chuck to the pole dancing from Bendy Kate; from hip hop super crew A-Team to Irish dancers Prodijig.

Following these, the judges must whittle those who made the shortlist down to a Final 30, who will then compete across five live semi-final shows.

A public vote will decide the eight finalists who will fight for the coveted crown in front of a 6,000-strong audience at Kensington Olympia. This spectacular finale will also be available to view on Sky 3D.

Got to Dance launches on 1 January 2012 at 6pm on Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD.
