CBS Has Got to Dance: Network Orders Dance-Competition Series

The reality dance floor is getting crowded: CBS has ordered its own dancing-competition series, the network announced Thursday.
The network has teamed up with Reveille to adapt the U.K. hit Got to Dance, which is billed as the first dance series with no age or genre restrictions. On the show, which premiered across the pond in December, competitors perform before a panel of judges. Viewers only get to vote during the semifinals and finals.
