CASTING CALL FOR

EXCEPTIONAL
YOUNG DANCERS
UNDER THE AGE OF 16...

AND THEIR INCREDIBLE PARENTS!

We're casting a new documentary series in development for a major streaming platform that follows talented young dancers, their families, and the high-pressure world of competitive dance.

From the makers of Molly-Mae: Behind It All and Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, Navybee is searching for outstanding young dancers and their families to take part in an ambitious new documentary series exploring the dedication, pressure, and triumphs of the UK's competitive dance scene.

Unfortunately, due to the level of interest in the series, we will not be able to respond to everyone who applies.

Best of luck!
