You know 'Flirty Dancing' from that viral video. The U.S. version comes with a twist
The 42-year-old single mom had grown weary trying to meet someone special online and decided to take a yearlong, self-imposed break from romance. “I’ll just be a cat lady,” she figured.
Fox is hoping viewers will be just as excited to see singles attempt the ultimate meet-cute when “Flirty Dancing” premieres Sunday .
At a time when people can scour a dating profile with dozens of pictures and do a social media deep dive before meeting someone in person, “Flirty Dancing” offers a truly blind date. Participants don’t even know each other’s names before they dance together, heightening the drama of their routines. Efforts were made to cast a variety of regular people genuinely interested in overcoming personal obstacles and finding a fulfilling relationship rather than, as Yurchuk put it, “Instagram-fit models who were looking to be on television.” Contestants range in age, body type and backstory, including a 21-year-old hairstylist with a high-pitched voice some dates find off-putting and a 68-year-old widower trying to move on after losing his partner.
Taking a page from the “La La Land” playbook, the show is filmed in memorable locations in and around Los Angeles, including Grand Park, the Hollywood Bowl, Santa Monica Pier and the Queen Mary. Each location had to accommodate two dances with distinct moods.
