THE STAKES ARE AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH WHEN EACH KID MUST TEACH THEIR PARENT THREE DANCE MOVES TO INCORPORATE INTO THEIR PERFORMANCE, ON “COME DANCE WITH ME,” FRIDAY, APRIL 29

Bust a Groove Night Part 1” – The stakes are at an all-time high when each kid is tasked with teaching their parent three dance moves that they must incorporate into their performance. The duos perform to hit songs, including “On the Floor” (Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull), “Dance, Dance” (Fall Out Boy), “Cheap Thrills” (Sia) and more, on COME DANCE WITH ME, Friday, April 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

COME DANCE WITH ME features exceptionally talented young dancers from across the country who invite one untrained family member who has supported their dance dreams to be their partner – together, they will strut their stuff for the chance to win the grand prize. Throughout the season, the teams will learn different dance routines, from hip hop and ballroom to contemporary and theatrical, among others, and will tackle a fierce new performance each week in the hope of earning top scores from the judges and continuing in the competition. At the end of every episode, the two lowest-scoring teams will battle each other in a freestyle dance-off, as the judges determine which team will be eliminated and which will advance. The kid/parent teams perform to hit songs for some of the biggest names in dance, the series judges: Jenna Dewan, Dexter Mayfield and Tricia Miranda. GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter Philip Lawrence hosts the series.
