That is truly exciting news! Do you know who will be the core judges? My friends and I absolutely LOVE Nigel and Mary for their grounded and accurate expertise feedback – this along with the camera work on US seasons (far better than previous seasons on Oz version…) We also love Cat for her warmth, professionalism and support of all the dancers.
From a huge fan 🙂
