NEW YORK: Bounce, starring Kimberly Elise, Charlotte Ross and Dean Cain, has been given the go-ahead by VH1.

The scripted show—scheduled to begin production in 2013—is about the Los Angeles Devils Girls dance team. Other members of the cast include Katherine Bailess, Logan Browning, McKinley Freeman, Valery Ortiz, Taylour Paige and Jonathan McDaniel.

Bounce is produced by Bryan Johnson and The Film Syndicate and In Cahoots Media. Jeff Olde and Jill Holmes are executive producing the series for VH1. Bounce was also executive produced by Maggie Malina and James LaRosa—the show’s writer and creator.
 
“On the heels of our great success with Single Ladies, we are thrilled to have Bounce be our second hour-long scripted series,” said Jeff Olde, the executive VP of original programming and production at VH1. “It has all the elements we know VH1 viewers love; a world very much on the pop culture radar, an incredible cast and compelling, addictive storytelling. These are all set against a glamorous backdrop where amazing dance numbers organically break out as part of the story. We wanted to create a scripted series at VH1 in which music is a strong narrative force, and we have found that with Bounce.”
