OK, we know what you’re thinking: “Not another talent show?!” But stay with us, because Dance Boss is not only hosted by Dannii Minogue, it sees a bunch of everyday Aussies get together with their workmates to dance their arses off to win $100,000!

Twerk team assemble!

Dannii Minogue is the host of the show which sees workmates ditch their desks for the dance floor.

Think doctors don’t disco? Or ambos can’t axel? You’d be wrong!

These movers and shakers from ordinary workplaces – like construction sites, airlines and even zoos (no, we’re not monkeying around!) – will have you hooked with their epic dance-offs, while resident disc jockey DJ Sketch spins everything from Britney Spears to Drake.

“We’re meeting incredible people who might have taken up dance to de-stress from working in a hospital or for confidence because they need that in their job to promote themselves,” gushes Dannii, who is also the executive producer of Dance Boss.

“Whatever the reason is, there’s a lot of heart and soul behind it.”

But it’s going to take more than passion to impress the celeb judges – Step Up 3D actress Sharni Vinson, Coyote Ugly star Adam Garcia and singer/dancer Timomatic.

“To me, dancing is about expression, freedom and having fun,” says Dannii. “And when you add in a little competition, some costumes, a shiny stage and a whole lot of sass – it’s on!”

Dance Boss is coming soon to Seven.
