BBC Studios Unveils New Dancing/Dating Format

BBC Studios is representing the format rights for the new entertainment series I Like the Way U Move and will present the unscripted format for the first time at MIPCOM.

The BBC Three original series will air as a boxset on BBC iPlayer alongside weekly broadcasts on BBC One. Jamie Laing hosts the U.K. version.

A BBC Studios Production, I Like the Way U Move sees five single professional dancers partner up with rookie non-dancers in a bid to find love. In each episode, the pairs are judged on their chemistry and connection at the “dance-off” by the host, a resident dance expert and a special guest.

Sumi Connock, creative director of formats at BBC Studios, said, “This is a fresh and ambitious format that brings dating, reality and dance together in one intimate and explosive package. It’s not about precise steps or perfect dance routines, it’s about forming a genuine connection and is sure to have international audiences hooked when things get hot and steamy both on and off the dance floor.”
