About Dancing With Myself judges
On Dancing with Myself, contestants have to put all of their efforts into showing off their moves and becoming the best dancer of the night. Speaking about the new show, Nick Jonas told NBC Insider:
"The fun [of the show] is we're not looking for the most precise dancer. We're looking for the person with the biggest energy and best heart and best attitude."
Nick, the youngest of the Jonas Brothers, was previously a judge on the US version of The Voice. The singer became a part of the Dancing with Myself panel after Shaquille O’Neal exited the project.
Joining him on the judging panel will be the show's executive producer and winner of three Grammy awards, Shakira. The Whenever, Wherever singer has sold over 80 million records and has produced numerous hit track records.
YouTube sensation Liza Koshy will also serve as a judge on the dance competition. As of writing, her YouTube channel, Liza Koshy, has garnered 17.4 million subscribers.
