JENNA
DEWAN TO HOST NEW DATING SERIES “FLIRTY DANCING,”
PREMIERING
THIS WINTER ON FOX
Unscripted
Series Combines Dating and Dancing for the Ultimate Blind Date
Actress,
producer and dancer Jenna Dewan will host FLIRTY DANCING, the
innovative new series that is part performance, part blind date, and
all about romantic chemistry. In the show, complete strangers are
each taught half of a dance routine, then meet for the first time on
a blind date at a breathtaking location, where they will then dance
together without saying a word. In this romantic approach to dating,
these singles will push themselves out of their comfort zones in the
hope of being swept off their feet, rather than swept to the left or
right on a phone.
“FLIRTY
DANCING is a truly unique format – it’s unlike anything we’ve
ever seen before. It’s fun, fresh and romantic, and broadens the
dating format far beyond its traditional boundaries,” said Rob
Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment and Specials, FOX
Entertainment. “Jenna is our dream host. She knows all about how
powerful connection and chemistry can be on the dance floor. So
there really is no one better to help guide these singles in their
search for love.”
FLIRTY
DANCING is based on the hit U.K. series of the same name. In a twist
to the original format, the U.S. adaptation will feature singles who
will perform a different choreographed dance with each of two
potential love interests, before choosing the one with whom he/she
has the strongest connection. While the singles may not all be
professional dancers, the elevated choreography will tell a story
reflective of their personal journeys to find love, while also
providing clues to the other’s personality. Will it be love
at first dance?
Multi-hyphenate
artist Jenna Dewan is an accomplished dancer, actress, author and
host. Her first book, “Gracefully You,” will be released later
this month. Along with FLIRTY DANCING, Dewan will star in the
scripted musical drama television series “Soundtrack” this
winter. Dewan recently starred in the film “The Wedding Year”
and in the anthology film “Berlin, I Love You,” the latest
feature in the “Cities of Love” series. She was featured on FOX’s
medical drama, THE RESIDENT, and served as host of the competition
series “World of Dance.” Additional television credits include
“Supergirl,” “Witches of East End” and “American Horror
Story: Asylum.” Dewan first captivated audiences as the lead
in the cult dance film “Step Up,” and additional film credits
include “Setup,” opposite Bruce Willis; “10 Years”; “American
Virgin”; The Six Wives of Henry Lefay”; and “Take the Lead.”
In June 2017, Dewan founded Everheart Productions, with a focus on
producing female-centric stories for film, television and digital
platforms. She also is an advocate of animals’ rights,
supporting the efforts of numerous philanthropic organizations,
including PETA and Southern California’s The Gentle Barn.
