New Family Dance Competition from LL Cool J & Chris O’Donnell

NCIS: Los Angeles stars LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell are working on a new family dance competition series for CBS.

Produced by CBS Television Studios and 3 Ball Productions, the series will see talented young dancers invite one inspirational, and untrained, family member or other adult who has supported their dance dreams, to become their dance partner for a chance to strut their stuff for a grand prize. The show is tentatively titled Come Dance with Me.

“We believe this concept is fun for the whole family, especially given the number of children we both have,” said LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell. “We reminisced about our kids’ dance lessons and how it would look if they had to teach U.S. how to dance. What we noticed was, aside from the two left feet element, like most parents, no one wants to let their kids down. The show is about being creative, having a good time, and bringing families together through dance. It’s a fun show with a big heart!”

“It’s inspiring to see the positive connection that exists between adults and children play out through dance,” added 3 Ball Executive Producer Reinout Oerlemans. “Shepherding this show has been a labor of love, and the fact that it comes to CBS at a time when families are hungry for fun, uplifting entertainment is especially gratifying.”
