Nickelodeon & Sky Commission New Princess Productions Dance Format
25th Feb 2013
Nickelodeon UK and Sky 1 HD announced today a brand new joint commission for 2013, Jordan & Perri’s Ultimate Block Party. Princess Productions, the makers of hit Entertainment show ‘Got to Dance’, will produce the 8 x 30 min series. This is the first time Nickelodeon UK has partnered with Sky on a UK show. Filming begins in the spring, with the premiere airing on Nickelodeon this summer, followed by the Sky 1 HD transmission later in the year.
The series sees Jordan and Perri, from dance group Diversity, driving around the UK looking to surprise groups of friends who need the duo’s help to throw the ultimate block party. With the music pumping, who knows where the party will be held but we do know that the group’s parents, teachers and coaches plus some unexpected showbiz VIPs will all be invited.
The chosen groups will not only get to throw a fantastic party for their friends and families but they will also work with Jordan and Perri to be the party’s headline act, creating a street dance performance to impress. What’s more, there’ll be pranks galore from those mischievous Diversity boys, so watch out!
Peter Drake, VP Creative Director, Nickelodeon UK and Executive Producer for Jordan & Perri’s Ultimate Block Party said, “Jordan and Perri are part of the country’s most successful dance crew. Their energy and talent is entirely infectious both on and off screen. Street dance is exactly what kids in the UK are into right now and it’s also great to be working closely with our partner, Sky 1 HD to commission shows for kids in a new way.”
Deborah Sargeant, Commissioning Editor for Entertainment at Sky added, “With plenty of surprises up their sleeves, we have no doubt that Jordan and Perri will throw some amazing parties coupled with some jaw dropping street dance routines. I am thrilled that by teaming up with Nickelodeon and Princess Productions we all get to share their Ultimate Block Party - a great treat for all the family on Sky 1 HD.”
Duncan Gray, Creative Director at Princess Productions said, “We couldn’t be happier to be making another great dance show with Jordan and Perri for Nickelodeon and Sky.”
