Gifted young dancers between 9 and 15 years old share their love of dance with their supportive, albeit untrained, adult family members. The two pair up for an uplifting journey where they learn and perform challenging routines with the assistance of professional choreographers.

All the dance teams perform a fierce new routine in a different style each week in hopes of earning top scores from the judges. At the end of each night, the two lowest-scoring teams battle in a freestyle dance-off to determine which team is eliminated and which will continue in the competition. At the end of the season, the winning team takes home the $100,000 grand prize.
