Flirty Dancing Production Focus

Royal Television Society London Centre Season 1 Episode 17

Gaby Roslin chats with the team behind Ashley Banjo’s heart-warming, and Broadcast Award nominated, Flirty Dancing

Second Star Production’s successful hybrid reality dating show Flirty Dancing has two seasons under its belt; they share their insights and experiences behind this refreshingly new dating show format. Two strangers rehearse a dance separately with members of Diversity, Ashley Banjo’s dance team. The first time they meet is to dance together in a beautiful location, then walk away without speaking. Will they want to meet up again after sharing their emotional dance?

Well-received as a dating show breath of fresh air, the second UK series had a clip that went viral in 2019, and the format was picked up by Fox USA. We’ll hear how the team brought us that hard-to-capture first date magic.
