Los Angeles:
Justin Bieber has launched an online search for dancers for his Believe tour.
The 18-year-old popstar and his tour director Jon M. Chu are giving people who don't live in Los Angeles the chance to win an audition by posting video clips of themselves dancing direct to YouTube.
Jon told E! News: "Justin also has such a huge online component, that's where he was discovered. You can upload your own video and audition."
The pair have already been auditioning dancers in LA this week as preparations get underway.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Justin is preparing for his tour by studying the late Michael Jackson's moves.
His manager Scooter Braun said: "He has been watching a tremendous amount of Michael Jackson concerts from the '80s and '90s. And he has been talking to me about how Michael incorporated magic and pyro and reveals and he wants to bring in that. [But] still do that acoustic thing, but he wants to take it to a whole new level."
Scooter also explained he is excited about the new tour because Justin has matured as a performer.
He explained: "It's just really exciting. Nothing makes him happier than being onstage. So it's gonna be fun to get back onto the road. I think he was an amazing performer before, but his level of dance and musicianship and his range [has grown]. He's a veteran now. I think he wants to take it to a completely new level."
