It's no surprise Oxygen's latest creation "Dance your Ass Off" is a runaway hit. People just can't get enough of hot dancing ( hello Dancing with Stars )combined with a heart wrenching weight loss story ala the Biggest Loser. Put these two pasttimes together and you have a recipe for sucess.Courtesy of CNN health:
"Obesity has risen dramatically in the United States during the past 20 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And this year television has seen an increase in shows featuring participants and stars who look more like the viewing public.
Amy Introcaso-Davis, senior vice president of original programming and development at Oxygen, said dance and diet are two areas of interest for younger viewers of the channel, so combining the two made sense.
The premier of "Dance" rated highly for Oxygen, with more than 1 million viewers tuning in."
Will you watch?!!?!?
I totally like this idea...I love to dance and don't have the opportunity these days...I think this show will be fantastic...
