Jennifer Lopez Partners with 'World of Dance' and NBC for Reality TV Show - Winner Takes Home $1 Million [WATCH]
Award winning Latina star Jennifer Lopez partnered with "World of Dance" and NBC to debut the 2016 reality TV show where the winner will take home $1 Million.
"Yes dancers, a million dollars," the pop star says on her YouTube video promoting auditions. "And we're talking all kinds of dance, any kind of dance, from ballet to modern to ballroom to hip hop and everything in between," J.Lo added.
The auditions are open to children, adults, professional and amateur dancers who can submit their entries at worldofdancecasting.com.
The official partnership with Jennifer Lopez, NBC Universal Television Alternative Studios, and "World of Dance," will feature 10 episodes of hardcore competition for the big prize.
It will be a tough show with solo artists competing against groups, and amateur artists competing against pros, but none of that matters to J.Lo. "If you're great then we want to see you," she says.
More than 16 teams will be picked from online submissions. Later, they will have to audition in front of the judges. Throughout the 10-episode reality TV series, shooting locations will take place in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Lopez is spreading her love everywhere. The "Jenny from the Block" singer recently partnered with Lin-Manuel Miranda for the "Love Make the World Go Round" collaboration where proceeds from the song go to Somos Orlando, an organization that helps family members of the Orland club mass shooting victims.
According to Billboard, the song debuts at No. 9 on the Digital Songs sales chart, Not. 72 on the Hot 100 chart, and has had 54,000 downloads during the first week of its release.
"My message has always been about love," J.Lo tells Elvis Duran on his Premiere Radio network show, "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show."
Lopez wanted to sing that song a long time ago, but then she saw Miranda's heartfelt speech at the Tony Awards on June 12 following the attacks.
"I had that song for, like, eight months, but there was something about it that wasn't right. After Orlando, it just seemed like, 'Oh God, the world needs this message right now,'" she said.
Miranda and Lopez performed the song on NBC's "Today" on July 11 and it has reached popularity ever since.
The Latina pop star is turning 47 on Sunday and her manager Benny Medina and boyfriend Casper Smart are throwing a birthday bash for her at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. There is speculation that several A-listers are invited to the party including Joe Jonas and designer Tommy Hilfiger.
