Dancify That is a dance game show that features a huge variety of dance duos competing in using snippets of pop culture, news headlines, and personal stories as inspiration for dance choreography. Comedians act as judges and the audiences decides on a winner.
We're currently in pre-production to shoot a pilot episode. Our show is played by dance duos (team of 2) and best played by those who can have fun making dance choreography based on whatever we throw at them. Can you make a dance inspired by types of chocolate? Movie genres? Memes of bratty children? We're looking for dance teams that can have fun with these types of prompts and play well in the context of a "competition". We're almost a parody of a competition. We're much more about having a good time (everyone is paid the same $200 stipend). Since we're shooting this to make a pilot, we'll celebrate all three teams at the end of the show before deciding on a winner in the editing room (that's usually how they do this type of show). 

If interested, you must be available 

Sunday, 6/5 9am-12pm. Location in Brooklyn tbd) and 

Saturday, 6/11 2pm-9pm. We'll be shooting from 2:15-4:30 in Prospect Heights, BK, and at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective in Williamsburg for our 7pm-8:15pm show)

The theme of this episode will be FOOD. In the first round dancers will be using different flavors of icecream as inspiration for dance. In the second round we'll have a food-based NFT for dancifying, and in the third round dancers will be using family recipes as inspiration for dance. In addition to dancing we will conduct interviews will all teams, reality-elimination-tv style--- with the caveat that we are not jerks. The vibe is friendly like the Great British Bake Off, with some added theatrics a la Drag Race or GLOW. 

We're out to make dance accessible, entertaining and build a community that loves to laugh and get ridiculous as much DANCE.

One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg.

She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
