Madonna's secret hunt for 'hot' dancers

Madonna has fuelled reports she's secretly planning a series of early summer shows after announcing an open call audition for "versatile" dancers on Thursday.

The pop superstar and choreographer Jamie King are taking over Foresight Dance Studios in Los Angeles in an effort to find "hot" dancers.

The call sheet asks wannabe dancers to "bring two pictures and resumes," and asks for "strong and versatile dancers".

The release form states: "Be prepared with everything from knee pads to different shoes. Should be comfortable doing most any style of choreography. Dress: look good, hot, and able to dance."

The auditions take place throughout Thursday afternoon and into the evening.

Madonna is remaining tight-lipped about why she needs new dancers, but the call sheet suggests the dates of work will be "April 2008 - TBD."
