Dance Monsters cash prize

For the contestants taking part in Dance Monsters, there’s a life-changing sum of money up for grabs.

Many of the show’s dancers have been close to, or have had a taste of, becoming professional dancers.

For some of them, it’s been years since they set foot on stage.

If they make it to the final and win the show, they’ll bag themselves $250,000.

The show’s winner will be announced during the final episode which comes out on December 30.

The contestants win more than money

Of course, it’s not all about the cash prize, many of the Dance Monsters are still gaining an experience of a lifetime from being on the show.

Many of the contestants described the experience of becoming their Dance Monster as being “magical” and that they had a new-found confidence in their character.

Jam said: “Seeing my monster for the first time was insane.”

The contestants get to pick up the dreams they let go of years ago and get back out on stage and do what they love most, which is dancing.
