0:00:02 > 0:00:04The London 2012 Olympic Games kick off on Friday
0:00:04 > 0:00:07and, across the country, people are getting set
0:00:07 > 0:00:10for the biggest sporting event the UK has ever seen.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Here in Middlesbrough,
0:00:11 > 0:00:1412 kids are stepping up to the challenge of a lifetime -
0:00:14 > 0:00:17to organise an amazing party for 1,000 people
0:00:17 > 0:00:22in the heart of their town to celebrate the start of the Olympics.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23So far this week,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27kids from Middlesbrough have transformed Party HQ...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30created an Olympic-inspired ice cream...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Oh... LAUGHTER
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..and invented a new sport
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- for hundreds to play at the live party tomorrow.- Come on!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Today's challenge is to sort out the entertainment for the big bash.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45With the help of CBBC presenter, Cel Spellman,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49the kids need to audition local talent and cast their favourite,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51who will get top billing at the event.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53My head was pounding, cos I didn't know who to choose.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55They also have to choreograph a dance routine
0:00:55 > 0:00:58to teach to the party-goers tomorrow.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- We, together, can do this. - That's my team!
0:01:00 > 0:01:05This is CBBC's Olympic Games Challenge.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Sorting the entertainment is a big task,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13but these three think they're up to it.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16First up, 12-year-old budding filmmaker Peter.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17I think I'm the right person,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21because, like, I've got good ideas, like I'm creative.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Super organised busy bee, 12-year-old Chloe,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28thinks she has what it takes to get this party going.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I had a lot of creative and imaginative ideas about the party,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34cos I'm, like, very open-minded, I say what I think.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Finally, 12-year-old dance crazy Annalise
0:01:37 > 0:01:40thinks she has the moves to get this show on the road.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I think I'm the right person to organise the entertainment,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47because I bring a lot of energy and I'm very enthusiastic.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50They may be confident, but this won't be an easy ride,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52so, luckily, they won't be alone.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- Joining them centre stage is CBBC's Cel Spellman.- ..magician man witch!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Cel has been acting since a young age
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and has gone on to appear in Waterloo Road and Friday Download.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I've been acting since I was seven
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and so I was kind of taking on adult responsibilities at that age
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and they're in year seven, taking on adult responsibilities.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They're putting on a show, which is what adults would do,
0:02:15 > 0:02:16so I think I can kind of empathise
0:02:16 > 0:02:18with how they're feeling and what they're doing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Today, Annalise, Chloe and Peter are travelling
0:02:22 > 0:02:26to CBBC HQ in Salford to meet mentor Cel for the first time.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm very excited about what's going to happen
0:02:28 > 0:02:30and I think I'm getting quite nervous,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32because we don't know everything that's going to happen yet.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- How do you think you feel? You're finally in Manchester...- Excited.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'm dead excited now I'm here and I'm not nervous no more.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- This is my dream team, is it?- Yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So I've set up a task for you, OK, but it's split into two parts.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55The first part is you guys holding an addition process
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and then you choose what sort of acts you want to be performing.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Then, you have to come up with a dance routine.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- Ooh!- OK!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The team need to find local acts
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and create a dance routine to teach to the party-goers tomorrow
0:03:08 > 0:03:12and, to do all of that, they're going to need a bit of inspiration.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I've sorted out for you guys to go behind-the-scenes
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- of the CBBC show Alesha's Street Dance Stars!- Come on!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- How does this sound?- Very exciting.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I felt very, like, quite scared,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24because we've never done this sort of thing before.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I feel confident that we'll nail it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Off to the set of Alesha's Street Dance Stars
0:03:28 > 0:03:31to check out the best young dance crews
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and find out what makes a great act.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35# I'm on the floor, floor!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37# I love to dance!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39# So give me more, more... #
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Watching the rehearsals,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43the kids hope to get ideas for their dance routine.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56They even get the chance to try out the judges' chairs in preparation
0:03:56 > 0:03:58for their own casting session.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06They've sat in the judges' seats, now they get to quiz them.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07It's Dwayne and Turbo.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10What do you look for in an act when selecting them for the show?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Creativity.- Presence.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Hmm! Teamwork.- Teamwork, definitely.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What they don't know is that
0:04:18 > 0:04:21they'll be seeing one of the judges again later.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24But first, the chance to ask the star of the show herself,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27the amazing Alesha Dixon, what makes a great act.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30What acts shall we include for our party?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I love singers, I love dancers, so I'd obviously have them,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37but then, I'd like to have something different that people don't expect.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What do you think makes a great act?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I like people that genuinely, genuinely have
0:04:43 > 0:04:46a passion for what they're doing and then, they become believable.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50When they're believable, you relax, you enjoy it, you feel something.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54What do you think is the best way to approaching a massive challenge?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Try not to feel overwhelmed by it or worry.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I would try to think really positive and have the attitude of,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03"I can do this, we together can do this."
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I felt really good that I've met Alesha, cos I always look up to her,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08cos she's amazing, she's capable of doing loads of things,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11so I always thought she'd be a good role model.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Armed with the advice from Alesha, the kids head back to Middlesbrough
0:05:14 > 0:05:17to make a start on their dance routine.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18They'll need to teach it
0:05:18 > 0:05:21to crowds at the party for them all to perform.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Four, five, six,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25seven and then eight!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Spin?- And then spin.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Then five...- Then it was one, two. - No, cos you have to count to eight.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34So if we do four, then five, six, seven, eight,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- so do two of them.- Yeah, it was.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Choreographing a dance is not as easy as the team first thought,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43especially when there are three people who all want to be in charge.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Soon, tensions start to show.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Certain people are annoying me.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Annoying. It's frustrating.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54There's no point doing this if you just disagree with everything.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00After a few tense minutes, they put their differences aside
0:06:00 > 0:06:02and start to work together as a team.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05UP-TEMPO DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:06:10 > 0:06:12ALL: Woo-hoo!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15The mood has lifted, but their work has only just begun.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18They now need to teach their dance routine to Cel
0:06:18 > 0:06:20in preparation for the party.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Annalise, Chloe and Peter arrive at the dance studio, where Cel
0:06:23 > 0:06:27is keen to get going and learn the dance the kids have come up with.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28I'm nervous.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Then your arm like that. - Oh, OK. Fine.- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Cel is strutting his stuff, but he's not quite up to Peter's standards.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- You went like that instead of... - All right! I'm still learning!
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Oh...- Nearly, Cel, but not quite.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I thought Cel was funny when he was dancing.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I don't think I'm the best dancer out there, but I did my best.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55When he got the grasp of it, he was a really good dancer.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58They've got the moves, but are they lacking the magic?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Maybe what they need is a bit of help
0:07:01 > 0:07:04from one of Alesha's Street Dance Stars dream team,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06but who could that be?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11PETER: Ah! LAUGHTER
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I thought you might need a bit of extra help
0:07:13 > 0:07:16to polish your routine, so I brought Turbo. Surprised?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yeah, I didn't expect him to be here. - Are you glad he's here?- Yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Dancer Turbo has been a judge on Alesha's Street Dance Stars
0:07:23 > 0:07:28since the early days and certainly knows how to perfect a performance.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29It's your choreography, it's your steps.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So we're going to clean it up and we're going to refine it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34As the shock of Turbo's arrival
0:07:34 > 0:07:37wears off, he introduces them all to some rather interesting
0:07:37 > 0:07:39teaching techniques.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56One, two, three, four...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Turbo turned up and it was a real... It was a really good surprise,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03cos he helped us a lot. And he's gave us quite a few tips.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Go again, one more time.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13It has to be strong.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16'We had quite a basic quality of the dance. I know it was good,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18'but when he's come and stepped in,'
0:08:18 > 0:08:20he's really, really helped.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I'm quite relieved, cos I'm really happy with it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Criss, cross, pose.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Do you know what, keep that one.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Turbo's enthusiasm is starting to rub off on the team.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33And the dance goes from good to great.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35The dance is finally finished.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39But they still have to teach it to the party-goers at the main event.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I feel they'll be ready for the 27th.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44As long as they practise and build up their confidence
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and, most of all, have fun.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Every party needs a headline act,

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Their favourite will headline the live event tomorrow.
