The BBC has commissioned Syco Entertainment and Thames (part of FremantleMedia UK) to produce a new Saturday night dance talent show, The Greatest Dancer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The 8×1-hour entertainment series will feature a host of talent from across the world of dance\u2014from ballet to jazz, hip hop to Bollywood\u2014as they give the performances of their lives in hopes of being crowned the U.K.\u2019s greatest dancer. The Greatest Dancer<\/em> will be executive produced by Nigel Hall, global head of television at Syco Entertainment, and Amelia Brown, managing director of Thames TV.<\/p>\n

Kate Phillips, controller of entertainment commissioning for the BBC, said: \u201cWith the continued success of Strictly Come Dancing<\/em>, the BBC is undoubtedly the home of dance. By launching The Greatest Dancer<\/em> we want to give the vast array of dance talent across the U.K. the chance to shine. I can\u2019t wait to work with Syco and Thames to uncover the talent out there and let our audience critique and celebrate the nation\u2019s unsung dance heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall said: \u201cThe auditions for the pilot episode saw some of the most jaw-dropping, heartfelt and moving auditions I\u2019ve ever seen on a dance show. There are some spectacular moments and we are beyond thrilled to have secured this commission over fierce competition. We look forward to working with the BBC team on something just a little bit special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown added: \u201cThe Greatest Dancer<\/em> is such an exciting project and we\u2019re delighted to be working with the BBC to bring it to life for everyone at home. It\u2019s a fantastic format full of warmth and heart with the pilot revealing some incredibly magical moments. It\u2019s sure to make an unmissable Saturday night treat for the whole family to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
