Things took a turn for the colourful at Miss World today as the contestants donned their national costumes and displayed their dancing skills.

It was all in honour of the ‘Dances of the World’ auditions where each participant got the chance to put their best foot forward and show off their dancing skills.

It’s all in preparation for the ‘Dances of the World’ show piece, where a number of selected contestants will be performing their own unique dance in front of the audience and the television cameras.

Though only a handful will be performing, never fear because all of the contestants will appear on stage in their wonderful array of garments. Be sure to tune in for it - it’s going to be really special!
