Everybody Dance Now was an Australian reality television dance competition that debuted on 12 August 2012 on Network Ten. The program, produced by FremantleMedia Australia and hosted by Sarah Murdoch, showcased solo performers, duos, and groups regardless of age or dance genre. Participants were split into two teams, each guided by celebrity dance coaches Jason Derülo and Kelly Rowland.

Each episode presented dance battles performed before a live studio audience, with eight acts competing per heat. Two performers from each heat earned A$10,000 and secured a place in the finals to vie for the grand prize of $250,000.

As viewership declined, Network Ten contemplated changing the format from three half-hour installments to a single one-hour weekly episode. When this revision did not materialize, the series was cancelled on 21 August 2012, and the remaining prize funds were donated to charitable causes.

Format

Everybody Dance Now consisted of two main stages: heats and finals. The competition embraced dancers of all ages and styles, dividing them into two teams led by renowned celebrity dance coaches. Contestants faced off in arena-style dance battles. Each heat episode featured eight acts paired into four duels, with the studio audience voting to select those advancing to a duel-deciding round. Audience votes then determined the two acts awarded $10,000 each who advanced to the final round. Although a $250,000 grand prize was promised for the finals, the show’s cancellation prevented this stage from airing and no winners were declared.

Production

Filming took place in Melbourne with a live audience present during recordings.
