“We’re really exited by it; it’s got a lot of heart,” said Wade, a formerexecutive producer and major dance fan. The pickup is part Fox brass “looking at what’s working in unscripted at the moment, and I feel like that’s a feel-good co-viewing original format,” Wade said., which blends two genres, dating and dancing. In the original, two complete strangers are taught one half of a dance routine and then go on a blind date where they dance.

Fox has added a twist to the original format, with one of the participants, “the picker,” getting to dance with two partners before choosing which one she/he would want to get to know. “The pick” then has to decide if they too liked “the picker.” The tweak adds a double-jeopardy, decision-point element to a format that is very warm-hearted, Wade said.

The Fox version is produced by Second Star, which produces the original, and All3Media America. Second Star, which is run by former Sky exec Deborah Sargeant, is part of Objective Media Group. Sargeant exec produces alongside Tamsin Dodgson and Objective Media Group America’s Jilly Pearce.
