Paula Abdul is returning as a mentor, coach and lead judge…but it’s not what you’re thinking! Paula is getting her own reality-competition show.
The show is currently titled “Got to Dance” and will feature amateur dancers of all genres to display their talents for a chance to get their big break.
“I’ve spent the better part of my life teaching, mentoring, nurturing – working with so many talented people – and I consider myself truly blessed to be able to continue to do something that I hold so dear to my heart,” Paula says. “I am thrilled to be creative partners with Reveille, Shine, and CBS and to present the best new dance talent to American audiences. Each and every week we’ll showcase the challenges and successes of a fantastic group of dancers, as they perform and compete – compelling stories, exciting competition and amazing dance performances are guaranteed.”
“Paula is the perfect fit for ‘Got to Dance’ …she is an accomplished dancer, choreographer and popular entertainment figure, she has a real appreciation for the talents our dancers will bring each week,” says Jennifer Bresnan, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, CBS Entertainment.
“Got to Dance” is based on a hit show that debuted last year in the UK.
