Dance 360
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dance 360 (2004-2005) was a modern hip-hop television series in which different dancers competed to win 360 dollars and an Xbox or other prizes like a cell phone from boost mobile. It was hosted by Fredro Starr and Kel Mitchell with DJ K-Sly providing the beats for the dancers.
The dancers were selected from the audience at the beginning of the show, and they competed one-on-one, with the winner going on to the next round. They were judged by the level of audience applause. In addition to the prizes awarded, the winner was also given the last few seconds of the show to give "shout outs" to friends and family. The show's title comes from the circle on the dance floor where the dancers competed.
Host Kel Mitchell previously starred in a television show along with his friend Kenan Thompson for a three year run. Host Fredro Star previously played on the hit show Moesha playing one of her boyfriends, Q. DJ K-Sly, whose real name is Kathleen Taylor was a guest host on On Air With Ryan Seacrest.
The show was noted for its famous slogans: "Yo, Fredro, where you at?!", "Three six oooh", "Tag Your Man!*" and "Head To Head!".
This show was cancelled in 2005 due to poor ratings and off-the-air disagreements between Fredro and Kel. The popular website Barstool Sports maintained a lengthy message board discussion thread about the show, reputedly the longest-running thread in the history of the site.
- - For a while, there was some confusion as to whether the line was "Tag your man" or "Tag 'em in." This controversy, however, was solved when the show did an all-girls' episode, in which the audience could be heard clearly saying "Tag your girl," indicating that the general phrase was, in fact, "tag your man."
