Disney Channel dance competition 'Shake It Up: Dance Dance' in South Africa

A brand new Disney Channel contest is now underway in South Africa and online video submissions are being accepted. Disney Channel South Africa has also joined forces with one of South Africa's most popular radio DJ's and "South Africa's Got Talent" host, Anele Mdoda, to lend her support to encourage kids across South Africa to get involved and have some fun. She will be head judge for the competition.

Disney Channel's South Africa version of "Shake It Up: Dance Dance" launched on December 2, 2011 and will give kids between the ages of 8 - 14 a fantastic opportunity to learn some of the dance moves from the "Shake It Up" series. Anyone who is a resident of Africa and in that age range can make a homemade video of themself performing a 30-second dance routine to any one of four songs from the Official Disney Channel South Africa contest website. There is a video on the site that teaches dance routines from the series "Shake It Up!".

After the contest submission deadline passes, Disney Channel's panel of judges (consisting of at least one independent judge) will select the best 10 submissions and viewers can then go online and vote for their favorite contestant. The criteria that the judges will base their selections on are creativity, originality, style, effort and enthusiasm.
