The jive performance to Land Of 1000 Dances will include moves like The Mashed Potato, The Alligator and viral dance craze The Floss.
Viewers are being encouraged to get involved, sharing their moves as part of the #DanceWithBluey Challenge.
Neil said: “Many stars have taken to the ballroom over the years but this is next level. I can’t think of any better occasion for us to say ‘G’day!’ to Bluey than for BBC Children In Need.
“It’s going to be Fab-Blue-lous!”
Bluey, which first aired in 2018, is shown in 60 countries across the world.
It was the most-streamed series in January and February and the second most viewed programme in the US last year.
It has even attracted a host of famous fans.
