The Australian Dance Awards are on this Sunday night at The Arts Centre, Melbourne. An extraordinary line up has just got bigger with Talia Fowler and Ben Veitch, winner and finalist from the hit TV series So You Think You Can Dance Australia, confirmed to perform their smouldering tango choreographed by Melbournian Fabio Robles and, in an exciting exclusive for the Australian Dance Awards, Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance will present the opening performance of the Awards gala with a restaging of one of David Atkins’ most renowned works, Dancin’ Man, joined on stage by SYTYCD regulars Kelly Aykers and Kelly Abbey and other original cast members.
