AN INJURY KEPT ALL TEAMS SAFE FROM ELIMINATION LAST WEEK, BUT THIS WEEK ON "POP NIGHT," ONE TEAM WILL SAY AN EMOTIONAL GOODBYE, ON "COME DANCE WITH ME," FRIDAY, APRIL 22
"Pop Night" - After Maceo's dad, Albert, injured himself in the premiere episode, host Philip Lawrence declared all 12 teams safe from elimination, making this week's "Pop Night" the first emotional goodbye of the season. The talented kid dancers and their untrained parents continue the competition of a lifetime, dancing to iconic songs from some of the biggest pop artists, including "Turn Down for What" (DJ Snake and Lil Jon) , "Uptown Funk" (Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars) , "What a Man Gotta Do" (Jonas Brothers) and "Rollin" (Limp Bizkit) , on COME DANCE WITH ME, Friday, April 22 (8:00-10:00 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 strut their stuff for a 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 hopes 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(R) Award-winning songwriter Philip Lawrence hosts the series.
