It had to happen - reality TV finally meets the world of dance. Five teams compete for the chance to create a 30 minute dance film. Battling against each other as well as the clock, the teams have to shoot and edit a taster tape of the film they want to make. After an exhausting fortnight, living together in a Welsh mansion, the final hurdle is The Pitch. Each team presents their efforts to a panel of expert judges, including two members of the TV audience, who decide which team will see their idea turned into reality.
The winning film is broadcast after the documentary
