The auditions will be held at Angel’s Park Namanga, Msasani on the 25th and 26th of July at 10am.

The competition will encompass 20 young Tanzanian boys and girls aged between 16 and 27 years who can dance.

The competition will be aired through TBC1 twice a week (a fresh show and a repeat) from mid August to October 18th where the finals will be aired live. More over the contestants will be given weekly seminars on HIV/AIDS and stigmatization and they in return will be given tasks to educate their fellow youth.

It is meant to produce the best talented, skilled, independent, healthy and creative young Tanzanians who will be able to venture successfully in this demanding capitalist world.
