Ten identities, including district Mayor Juno Hayes, deputy mayor Hamish Anderson, banking team leader Cindy Holmes and Kaitangata community co-ordinator Jean Proctor will dust off their glad rags and spend the next two months being tutored by some of Otago and Southland's top dance instructors.
Then, come the night of May 16, the celebrities will each take to the dance floor and perform one dance each.
Week for Women co-ordinator Nyree Dickie said the TV show's co-host, Candy Lane, and dancer Jonny Williams would make guest appearances at the Balclutha event.
"It is just going to be something quite spectacular."
And just like the TV show, all 10 contestants will not only get out of their comfort zones but raise money for their chosen charity.
Although there will be no official winner on the night, the public will be able to vote for their preferred charity.
Each dancer has picked a local charity to benefit from the big night.
And also in keeping with the TV show, they will be out promoting their charity in the weeks leading up to the May gathering, which will include video footage of each contestant's preparation, a profile on each identity, their dance lasting between three and four minutes, plus demonstrations from Candy Lane and Jonny Williams as well as performances from local dance groups.
Part of the proceeds from ticket sales would also be divided between the respective charities, Mrs Dickie said.
Tickets will go on sale at the end of April.
The 10 dancing identities are Mayor Juno Hayes, his deputy, Hamish Anderson, Balclutha community constable Tom Taylor, youth co-ordinator Daniel Maze, former Otago rugby player Richard Knight, marching instructor Trudy Cochrane, banking team leader Cindy Holmes, Balclutha pharmacist Ngaire Taylor, Project Clutha chairwoman Sarah Andrew and Kaitangata community co-ordinator Jean Proctor.
