TVOKids, Pillango in step for Let’s Dance

Let’s Dance coaches children aged three to eight

Canadian broadcaster TVOKids has commissioned an unscripted series that teaches children to dance.

Coproduced by TVOKids and Sarah Haasz’s Pillango Productions, Let’s Dance (39×7’) is an upbeat dance-coaching series for children aged three to eight.

Set in the studios of the National Ballet School of Canada, Let’s Dance sees ordinary kids learn simple dance routines, with each episode ending with a performance at a surprise location.

From breakdancing to Bollywood, country to K-pop, dancers explore the world of movement as they mash up a variety of dance styles.

Federation Kids & Family is handling worldwide distribution of the series, which debuts on TVOKids this September.

Marney Malabar, director of kids TV at TVO, said: “At a time when so many of us are stuck at home and looking to stay active, Let’s Dance inspires our young TVOKids audience to get up on their feet. The series highlights incredibly talented young dancers and makes it possible for kids to learn a new skill while discovering their own signature dance moves.”
