Durban: Nu Metro Pavilion, 30 September, 8am to 5pm
Johannesburg: Nu Metro Montecasino, 3 October, 8am to 5pm

"At each audition we're looking for the best dance crew and/or six of the best dancers to make up the best regional dance crew in each city. Once the six members are found, they will go into an intensive rehearsal to feature in the latest Jamali single" said Mark Harris, content and marketing head for Nu Metro Cinemas.

Movie-goers will be judges

"A series of 10 tightly produced four-minute stories will be broadcast throughout all Nu Metro Cinemas nationwide during the months of October and November. Then Nu Metro movie-goers will make history as they become the voting judges to determine which dance crew will become the winners. The ultimate dance crew will then be featured in Jamali's music video for their latest single release" added Harris.

One of South Africa's leading singers and dancers, Kurt Herman, will choreograph the Dance2Fame promotion along with Jamali. Herman was in the first winning Popstars group 101 and has gone on to become one of South Africa's leading singers and dancers.
