New Dance Show for ITV1

LONDON,
July 30: ITV1 has commissioned Talent Television to produce for the fall a new
one-hour Saturday night entertainment show, Everybody Dance Now.

The series will showcase
hit songs that have inspired some of the most popular dance crazes. Featuring
original artists and contemporary star covers, an audience of dancers will show
viewers how each dance is done.

This is Talent’s first
commission since the arrival of Jonathan Glazier as the director of
entertainment last month. Everybody Dance Now will be executive produced
by Glazier and Victoria Ashbourne and produced by Kevin Mundye with Simon
Staffurth directing.

Tony Humphreys, the managing director of Talent Television, said:
“We’re delighted to have secured this commission so soon after Jonathan
Glazier’s arrival. It underlines our commitment to maintain Talent’s reputation
as a supplier of prime-time entertainment.”
