NBC launched a dance reality show, Dancing With Myself, last week, featuring Nick Jonas, Shakira, and Liza Koshy on the judges’ panel. The series now returns with another brand new episode this Tuesday.
Dancing With Myself is an interesting competition series where a new group of 12 contestants participate every week and showcase their dance skills to some popular TikTok tracks. The dance steps of every round are respectively choreographed by Shakira, Liza Koshy, and host Camille Kostek, along with a special celebrity guest. Most of the participants are partly digital content creators who have come to the show to win $25,000. Each week, viewers will see 12 new faces and a winner.
The premiere episode’s title of the Ultimate Pod Star went to 16-year-old student Tyra Polke. While she was the youngest contender in episode 1, the upcoming installment will welcome two competitors who are younger than Polke.
