The eighth series of You Can Dance - Po prostu Tańcz! premiered on TVN on 2 March 2015. Agustin Egurrola, Michał Piróg and Kinga Rusin all returned as judges and Patricia Kazadi presents the show once again.[1]

The auditions began on 5 January 2015 in Wrocław.[2]

Auditions

The auditions were held in five Polish cities throughout January 2015.[2] The first day was an open audition, when the producers would choose auditionees, who would then perform in front of the judges and live audience. The filmed audition with judges took place on the following day. Footage from these auditions will be shown in first five episodes.

Notes
  1. As the auditions in Kraków took more time than expected, some audition footage from Kraków was also featured in the episode broadcast on 16 March 2015.
  2. Michał Piróg funded an extra ticket to Sevilla for Kasia Pursa after her audition in Warsaw, resulting in 37 dancers taking part in choreography camp, instead of usual 36.

Top 37 dancers

During the auditions judges picked 37 dancers. These dancers were taking part in choreography camp in Sevilla.
