‘World of Dance’ will see dancers compete against each other for a $1 million prize.
NBC has greenlit a new dance competition series, which singer and actress Jennifer Lopez will executive produce. It’s unclear at the minute wether Lopez will appear in front of the camera on the show, but the series has already been given a ten episode order.
According to Variety, the series will feature solo artists competing against duos and crews in all genres of dance, including hip hop, krumping, popping, locking, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom, clogging, stomping and more. The show’s winner will walk away with $1 million.

“This will be a fierce talent-heavy dance competition that embraces the raw emotion and excitement that dance represents,” Lopez said. “I am excited to work with World of Dance, an organization that has had an immeasurable impact on the dance community, to give all dancers an enormous platform where their dreams can be realised.”
Meredith Ahr, president of Universal Television Alternative Studios added: “Dance rivals any sport for its ability to produce world-class athletes and powerful performances that entertain, inspire and unite people from all walks of life.”
“The unmatched credibility that the World of Dance organization has achieved so quickly speaks to the high standard they have set for their community, which is based on authentic expression, diversity and innovation. Those core values, paired with one of dance’s greatest success stories and role models, Jennifer Lopez, are sure to give viewers a front row seat as dance is taken to the next level.”
