ABC and FOX have found long-lasting ratings success with their Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance competitive reality series. Now, the Peacock Network is cutting a rug with its new World of Dance TV show, based on the global competition franchise. Have they put their best foot forward? Will World of Dance be cancelled or renewed for season two on NBC? Stay tuned.
The World of Dance TV show is hosted by Jenna Dewan Tatum, who also serves as a mentor. Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, and Ne-Yo judge the NBC competition. The series showcases dancers competing for a grand prize of $1,000,000. Elite solo dancers, partners, and full dance crews compete against each other in multiple categories of dance, including hip-hop, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom dancing, and stomping. **Status updates below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

CANCEL THIS SHOW! Disappointed in how judging was done , eliminations, loss of some great dancers, stupid that they would have to battle. Should have been an overall best regardless of team ,style or technique! How is it world of dance? AMERICA SHOULD HAVE VOTED!
Eva should have won! Nyo gave her an awful song to dance to-In The Air. She is better than the twins. Grossly unfair that the twins won. They did the same stuff every time.
I love Jlo and liked the premise. However, one judge has too much influence. The twins should not have been in the final….when the guy was hurt, that dance sucked and they gave them mercy to get them through. Jlo’s score in the semi and the final single handedly gave them the title. Neo and Derek would have chosen somebody else.
Derek is the only suitable judge on that panel. Find two other judges, one who is a professional dancer within “freestyle” and another with several various dance backgrounds since Derek has ballet covered.
None of this celebrity ******** where favoritism decides scores.
The show a joke, I loved til all the best dancer voted off for lousy dancers because they’re Latino or injured. Cancel Now!!
