WIN your chance to join the Baz Luhrmann directed ballroom dance off at the Sydney Opera House

From March, Sydney will play host to the World Premiere production of Strictly Ballroom The Musical. The story that inspired the world to dance when the classic Australian film Strictly Ballroom was released in 1992, is now making its way to the Sydney Lyric Theatre stage in an all new musical extravaganza.

On Sunday 23 February the Sydney Opera House will play host to the biggest ballroom dance-off of all time under the creative direction of Baz Luhrmann, when 4,000 dancers will create a specially choreographed Strictly Sydney moment.

Register for your chance to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate Strictly Ballroom The Musical.

One lucky couple will win:
· An original matching dance ensemble designed by Catherine Martin
· A one-on-one choreographic workshop with John ‘Cha Cha’ O’Connell
· Tickets to the World Premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom – The Musical on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre at The Star.

20 runners up will win 2 tickets to see a preview of Strictly Ballroom The Musical on Thursday 10 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre at The Star.

Every participant will also receive a digital download of the official ‘Strictly Sydney’ event photo.

If successful in the ballot, on the day of the event each couple will also be given a fabric square with matching numbers on them – this is a unique commemorative patch designed by Catherine Martin which is pinned to the back of each dancer.
