Lifetime Television presents Your Mama Don't Dance, a new and distinct dance competition that pairs young professional dance partners with one of their parents, with each team taking on different dancing styles in the hopes of winning $100,000 in cash and prizes. Apart from the intense competition, the show will also explore the complicated relationship between children and their parents, with the aspiring dancers relying heavily on their parents' capability to learn different dance moves, and the parents working extremely hard so as not to let their kids down.
"Your Mama Don't Dance distinguishes itself from other dance competition shows because its point of view is truly unique,” Susanne Daniels, president of Lifetime Networks, said. “The relationships between the dancers and their parents will evolve during the eight weeks and it will be both heartwarming and heartbreaking -- with a lot of twists and unexpected turns along the way."
