Selection Process
Auditions As with the second season, initial open auditions were held in Antwerp over two days, with excerpts shown as the first four episodes on the season.
Bootcamp 111 dancers were accepted beyond the first round and attended a workshop at the ArtEz complex in Arnhem. During the first day, hopefuls were separated into four groups to study four different styles (hip-hop, lyrical hip-hop, modern, and jazz) and then tested on their acquisition of the styles, with 60 competitors cut after this first round. The remaining contestants were then tested on the second day in a cha-cha round run by choreographers Roemjana de Haan and Koen Brouwers.
On the third day of the Bootcamp process, the judges announced that this season's foreign component to the process would be held in Moscow, Russia but that only 24 dancers would proceed to this point. Each judge picked one dancer to advance to this point of the process automatically and the remaining dancers were required to perform solos for one of the remaining 20 spots. Arriving in Russia, the remaining 24 dancers learned that the last Bootcamp round would feature ballet training. After observing the dancer perform a classical pas de deux from Swan Lake the judges made their final selections for the season's Top 18 dancers.
