Production

On December 14, 2021, it was announced that NBC had ordered the series with Shakira as the star and executive producer. [1] [2] On March 15, 2022, it was announced that Camille Kostek would host the series and that Shaquille O'Neal and Liza Koshy would join Shakira as creators of the series. [3] [4] On March 15, 2022, O'Neal was replaced by Nick Jonas due to technical difficulties. [5]

The series premiered on May 31, 2022, [6] [7] and it was cancelled after a single season in March 2023. [8]

Format

Shakira, Koshy, and Jonas are described as "creators" rather than "judges" or "coaches."

Each show features 12 contestants competing for a $25,000 prize. [9] Each episode features six rounds of competition; in each round, all contestants dance to the same song. The rounds are: [10]

  1. All Eyes On You: One creator demonstrates a series of dance moves. Each contestant must then perform those moves solo. The top eight vote-getters automatically advance, while creators save two of the remaining contestants.
  2. Freestyle Battle Round: The remaining 10 contestants compete, in pairs of two, in a freestyle battle. The audience chooses a winner from each battle; the creators save three of the losing contestants.
  3. The Dance Along: The eight contestants are divided into two groups of four, and must perform choreography presented by a special celebrity guest. The audience chooses one group to move on; the creators save two contestants from the losing group.
  4. Duo Collabs: The six remaining dancers are split into three pairs and work together to perform a dance incorporating moves presented by the creators. The audience selects one pair to advance, while the creators can save any two contestants from the losing pairs.
  5. The Shake-Up: The four remaining contestants all dance at the same time as they're faced with a different twist ("Shake-Up") each episode, such as dancing with a prop or using an iconic dance move in their performance. The audience will then select the two finalists.
  6. Be the Creator: The final two must each perform a dance they choreographed at home. The audience will vote for the winner.
