Vulgar/profane language

The lyrics to most of the songs chosen were profane and in some instances disgusting! Look up the definition to street language before using songs! Too much crotch grabbing!

This title has:

Too much sex

What's the Story?

In DANCE 100, eight choreographers compete to win a prize of $100,000. Each time they advance to the next level, they must use more dancers in their routines -- and with 100 dancers, that number grows to fill the stage. The judges? Those 100 dancers who are watching from above, or watching and judging from within the group. Which choreographer will advance the farthest? Which will the audience love the most?

Putting the judging in the hands of the performers themselves, this reality show takes critique to the next level. In Dance 100, not only are the judges watching the performance from the audience, but they are, at times, immersed in the creative process, working as creatives with and against the contestants. The workshop vibe is neatly wrapped up when host Ally Love picks a few dancers to give their opinions to the choreographers. Things get a little catty, but there's no time taken for messes -- five, six, seven, eight -- the show goes on.

Teens and adults who love concerts with big dance performances will enjoy this show's quick pace and ravishing talent. Some tear-jerking moments will stay with viewers, as dancers reveal vulnerability behind their professional fronts.
