The show's co-hosts — Sandara Park from the now-disbanded girl group 2NE1, Gikwang of boy band Highlight that was formerly known as Beast, and Daehwi of boy band AB6IX — will also serve as the the dancers' managers.

Viewers can expect passionate and heartwarming stories as they watch the dancers experience highs and lows while taking on challenges, Tving said.

The series was directed by Song Gwang-jong, JTBC’s in-house veteran music program producer behind busking reality series “Begin Again” (2017-2023), “Tribe of Hip Hop” (2016), “Your Song” (2019) and the third and fourth seasons of “Hidden Singer” (2012-22).
