Accompanying the dancers will be a film made by Daniel Alexander from Oldbury and a performance from Erdington-based singer Lady Sanity.
The singer, who will be performing to an audience of 40,000 at the Gold Coast's Carrara Stadium as well as TV audiences around the Commonwealth, said it was "a wonderful opportunity to showcase myself and showcase my city".
