Jennifer Lopez's dance competition series greenlit by NBC

Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez's dance-based show "World of Dance" is coming to NBC. The 46-year-old former "American Idol" judge is teaming up with the network for a new dance competition series that has been greenlit with a straight-to-series ten-episode order, reported Ace Showbiz.   The brand new series described as an "unparalleled dance competition" pits solo artists against duos and crews in all genres of dance, including hip hop, krumping, popping, locking, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom, clogging, stomping and more. The winner will receive USD 1 million.   Lopez, who is also starring on NBC's cop drama "Shades of Blue", is on board as executive producer. It's currently unknown if she will appear in any on-camera capacity. "This will be a fierce talent-heavy dance competition that embraces the raw emotion and excitement that dance represents," Lopez said.

  "I am excited to work with 'World of Dance', an organization that has had an immeasurable impact on the dance community, to give all dancers an enormous platform where their dreams can be realized.
