Format

Armoza Formats has announced a co-development deal with Chinese broadcaster Hunan TV. As part of this deal, the companies have worked together to launch Dance Smash a prime time dance competition based on Quebecor Content and Fair-Play’s format Dance Revolution, which originally aired on Canada’s TVA. Following further development by Hunan TV, Armoza, TVA and Fair-Play, Dance Smash began airing in China this month, with a record-breaking premiere that has become the best launch for a Chinese television dance competition show in the past two years. The first episode won the timeslot with a 5.2% share and achieved a remarkable 7.8% share with the youth under-23’s demographic. It was recently announced that a Russian adaptation of Dance Revolution has been commissioned by Channel 1. The format (11x90’) is a prime time dance show that welcomes all dancers to compete and be judged with a 360? shot of their most spectacular “Revolution” moment using state-of-the-art technology. In every stage, the masters will have the help of the Revolution moments – capturing the dancers’ precise and timeless movements to make sure that they make the right decision. The dancers’ performances and the breath-taking Revolution moments will decide the four finalists, who will showcase their talent in the hope of winning the $100k grand prize.
