Next Top Dancer Search:
The InterContinental Miami Hotel, 100 Chopin Plaza, is retiring its 200-foot-tall dancing lady and is looking for the next mover and shaker who will take her place in Miami’s skyline! All genres of dance are encouraged to audition for the role. The first 200 RSVPs online as well as the first 200 dancers in line at 7 a.m., will be guaranteed a tryout.

The hotel will provide the music; the dancer must provide the moves. Judges include Jane Castro from VH1, along with members from the Miami City Ballet and the Miami Heat. In addition to the pride that comes with watching yourself light up the night sky in downtown Miami, winners will receive a free ‘staycation’ package at the hotel. You must be 18 or older to audition.  Register at icmiamihotel.com/Dancing-With-Miami-s-Skyline
