It may the first of two weeks of Easter non Ratings but it will be pretty much business as usual at Ten for week 14 which covers from Sunday March 28 to Easter Saturday April 3.

The Biggest Loser on Sunday March 28 highlights the contestants success in new Zealand, with Monday night seeing them return to Camp Biggest Loser. Monday night is last chance training and the weigh in, but it turns out to be a non elimination week in any case. On Tuesday night, the contestants are also shown how Rick and Joe are going in Alice Springs with their commando training. Suddenly they all feel a little threatened. Wednesday and Thursday the contestants continue to train. With Friday being Good Friday that week, there is no Friday night Masterclass.

8.00pm Wednesday, Mar 10 & 8.00pm Thursday, Mar 11

Fourteen dancers have survived the three eliminations so far but they still have a few more to get through before they make it to the Finale.

Each week the dancers are challenged physically and emotionally, having only a few days to grasp a brand new routine and genre, as well as potentially a new partner. The schedule is gruelling, rehearsing up to 12 hours a day in order to master and perfect a routine, before performing on stage, in front of Australia. The seven couples dancing this week will perform in genres such as hip-hop, ballroom, Broadway and contemporary. Australia is given the opportunity to vote for their favourite couple after Wednesday night's show with the three couples with the least amount of votes announced on Thursday night's show.

Wednesday, Mar 3 & 8.00pm Thursday, Mar 4 8.00pm

Sixteen dancers remain in So You Think You Can Dance Australia, all with diversely different backgrounds and personalities but all with one goal – to win the competition and be named Australia's Favourite Dancer.

Tonight the eight couples will perform a dance routine that that has been arranged for them by one of Australia's most respected choreographers. Each couple will perform in a different dance genre, including jazz, musical theatre and hip hop, in a bid to win the viewer's votes and stay out of the bottom three couples.

So You Think You Can Dance Australia is thrilled to announce our 2010 winner will not only walk away with the title of Australia's favourite dancer and a massive two hundred thousand dollars prize money. They will also have the opportunity to choose from three exclusive dance contracts to perform throughout Australia and overseas. Tonight's show revealed the first of three exciting dance contracts on offer.

Joining forces with Internationally acclaimed contemporary company Australian Dance Theatre, this years winner will be offered a contract to perform in “Ignition” Season 2010, ADT's annual choreographic season by Artistic Director, Garry Stewart and his outstanding choreographers. The Prize includes a Season at the Adelaide Festival Centre.

Join us next Thursday at 8pm on TEN when we announce the next contract on offer.

8.00pm Wednesday, Feb 17 & 8.00pm Thursday, Feb 18

The competition gets underway in earnest this week as our Top 20 become 18.

Last week, our dancers were given a chance to show off their skills in their own genres and without the pressure of elimination. This week it's not going to be so easy!

No eliminations this week so I guess that means that it's all celebration and showing off. Each of the top twenty get to dance their preferred style so we'll get to see what they're the best at and figure who our favourites are going to be.

WHO INSPIRED YOU TO FIRST DANCE: My mum enrolled me into dance class when I was quite young, so at first it was all just for fun. When I decided to take it more seriously I found myself always looking to be like Sylvie Guillem, a dancer too amazing for words.

EARLIEST MEMORY OF DANCING: My earliest memory would be at my first dance concert when I was four. I was in the middle of my routine when the heel of my shoe slipped off. I remember we were sitting on the floor, waving our hands above our heads and I was trying to keep waving my hands and pull my shoe back on all at the same time.
