Everybody Dance Now was an Australian reality television dance competition that premiered on 12 August 2012 on Network Ten.^[3] The show was produced by FremantleMedia Australia, and hosted by Sarah Murdoch.^[1]

Everybody Dance Now was open to solo acts, duos and groups of any age, style or size. They were divided into two teams, with each being led by the dance masters Jason Derülo and Kelly Rowland, who would "challenge, train and mentor" their acts.^[4] The teams faced a studio audience in each episode "to do battle in a colosseum-style dance duel."^[4] During the heats stage of the competition, eight acts would perform in each episode, with two acts winning A$10,000 and progressing through to the finals to compete for the ultimate prize of $250,000.

On 21 August 2012, as ratings were dwindling, Network Ten considered changing the weekly schedule for the show, from three half-hour episodes to one full hour episode a week, but when those plans fell through, it decided to cancel the show due to poor ratings.^[5] Remaining prize money was donated to charity.
