About Come Dance with Me TV Series
Come Dance with Me is an American reality competition television series created by LL Cool J, Chris O’Donnell, and Reinout Oerlemans. The show pairs young dancers with a family member that has supported their training, and the pair perform a dance together for a panel of judges before the determining who continues to the next round.
Come Dance with Me began as a pitch by Reinout Oerlemans for a new family-based dance competition show. Chris O’Donnell was friends with Oerlemans, and he was reading about the pitch while on set working NCIS: Los Angeles. O’Donnell’s co-star LL Cool J caught wind of it and expressed interest himself. The two decided that they would help create the show together.
A Belgian version of the show premiered a few weeks before the American version. The series premiered on Play4 on April 4, 2022, and was hosted by Dutch rapper Gers Pardoel and TikTok star Julie Vermeire.
Come Dance with Me Show Format
Talented young dancers team up with an untrained adult family member who has encouraged their dance training. Each week, the pairs learn a dance routine from various dance styles and perform it for a panel of judges. The two lowest-scoring teams then perform a freestyle dance-off to determine which team is eliminated.
