If
you’ve ever watched
So You
Think You Can Dance and
wished you didn’t have to wait a few years until you could take the
stage, then you’re gonna love this.
Make
Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off - Shake It Up Edition,
Disney Channel’s first-ever talent competition for kids and tweens,
premieres tonight, Oct. 14, at 8:30
pm ET/PT.
After
nearly 30,000 dance videos were submitted, six talented finalists
between the ages of 10 and 16 were chosen to dance in front of
celebrity judges Selena Gomez, Sean Kingston and Shake
It Up choreographer Rosero
McCoy—as well as millions of home viewers like you—to compete for
the chance to win a “Spotlight Dance” on Shake
It Up.
The
competition is hosted by Jessie
star Debby Ryan and Shake It
Up stars Roshon Fagan and
R. Brandon Johnson. Bella Thorne and Zendaya from Shake
It Up will be making guest
appearances, too!
The six
finalists will compete on air tonight for your votes by dancing to
routines choreographed by those who have worked with the likes of
Katy Perry, the Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson, Ne-Yo, Jason DeRulo
and Joe Jonas. Cool, right? And those stars are also set to make an
appearance during the show with pre-taped spots that provide
encouragement to the competitors.
So, how
does it work? For a brief time after the show, it’s your job to
sign online or text DISNEY (347639) up to five times each to vote for
your favorite dancer. The winning dancer or dance team will then be
revealed Sunday, Oct. 16,
during a results show with a special performance by A.N.T.
Farm’s China Anne
McClain.
