Lawrence joins Jenna Dewan, who was recently announced as one of the show’s judges. Although he isn’t known as a dancer, he showed off a few moves for his part in Jingle Jangle, and also danced alongside Bruno Mars during his Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2014.

The show will feature several young dancers who will each perform with an untrained grown-up from their life, with the help of choreographers. They’ll be competing for a grand prize.
It sounds like the show will be heartwarming and family-friendly, giving the dancers a chance to bond with the people who have supported their dreams. We can’t wait to find out who the other judges will be.
