Oxygen’s hugely popular weight-loss/dance reality competition Dance Your Ass Off will kick off their new season on Monday, June 7 with new host Mel B.
The show which will air Monday, June 7 at 11pm ET will move to its regular time slot Monday, June 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT is a hybrid between The Biggest Loser & Dancing with the Stars. DYAO features plus-size contestants who try to dance their way to a healthier lifestyle and a grand prize.
Twelve contestants will battle each other on the dance floor and on the scale for a shot at a $100,000 grand prize. Contestants will live together for 10 weeks and be paired with a professional dance partner who trains the competitor for the weekly stage performances.
This season the show has a new production company, Magical Elves, and a new host, former Spice Girl Mel B., who honed her curves on Dancing With the Stars, so she knows how dance can get and keep you slim.
As an added bonus…….
Setting the stage for the return of its signature dance-competition series Dance Your Ass Off, Oxygen is prepping a second five-city tour designed to pump up deliveries while slimming down viewers. And this time around, the network has landed a sponsor.
General Mills yogurt imprint Yoplait has signed on as the sponsor of the five-city tour in support of season two of Dance Your Ass Off. Kicking off June 6 in St. Paul, Minn.; the DYAO tour will touch down in New Orleans, New York, Washington and Orlando, Fla.
Along with the obvious promotional angle, the tour carries with it a certain charitable touch. Exhorting attendees to “Dance Off a Million [Calories],” the events will benefit the American Heart Association. (Oxygen will make a $3,000 donation to local chapters of the AHA in each city the tour visits.)
New DYAO host Melanie Brown, (aka Mel B. of Spice Girls renown) will make an appearance at tour’s June 14 New York.
