'Dance Your Ass Off' Coming to Oxygen
Tuesday July 22, 2008
If you love watching dance shows and you're also a fan of reality TV weight-loss competitions, Oxygen is planning a new reality show that might be right up your alley. On Dance Your Ass Off (yes, that's really the title), teams of overweight contestants will attempt to drop the extra pounds by dancing!
"Teams will get a new dance challenge each week that helps them sweat off those extra pounds," Oxygen explained in a press release. "They will also learn how to incorporate healthy cuisine into their lifestyle. Each episode culminates with a weigh-in and dance-off."
Dance Your Ass Off will premiere in 2009.

How do you get on this show???
How do you get on the show? This is very interesting to me! I am a plus size woman my self that sooo loves to dance any info will be great!! =)
I submitted to this show, and they asked for tape. I guess I didn’t show off my true dancing skills, but I thought it should be fun! Or maybe I wasn’t overweight enough… I’m not big, but to industry standards, I’m plus size…
I wanted to do it sooo bad….!!
Please hit me up, i saw this while watching the biggest loser, this seems really exciting i dance all the time and have been waiting for something like this to hit the airwaves. lol i have the drive, will, and determination to take it to the end just view my profile and please email me so i can know where and when to send my tape its alot to this danceaholic then meets the eye. take a chance on me i wish i was a part of the first season but it’ll just be a blessing to be apart of this experience period!
lol cant wait to here from you!
Love the idea; hate the name. Surely you can do better than that!
/agree w/Michelle. I have kids and would never tune in to watch a show that would say that word out loud and even have it in the title. How messed up are your producers to think that’s “cool”??
I need to drop about 20 pounds and would love to do this. They never seem to have anything to help out the ones that only need to drop a few. How do you get on this show?
I have three beautiful daugters, that are really over weight.. My girls love to dance , so I think it would work for them… Two are in Cali, and one in New York.. Please I beg…They have small children..that need them. I fear for them every day…I want them to be healthy.. As a Mother I beg that you save my girls !!! Just them alone would make a great show…

WOW…Can we get any more great names for TV shows…how about SING LIKE A BITCH…or GUESS WHO I SCREWED LAST NIGHT…yes its so nice to see that we can come up with show names that all of our childern can remember easily.
OH i see, there’s a line to it…In the 60,s I dont think ASS would be allowed to be part of a name for any show…But, what the *uck. Oh excuse me.. Is that show name planned for the fall line up of 2010?
i would like 2 become a contestant how do i apply
This is a good show! Go Big Dancers!
IT’S A CRYING SHAME THAT THE ONLY WAY THESE FAT PEOPLE WILL LOSE ANY WEIGHT IS WHEN THERE IS A MONEY GAIN BEHIND IT. WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO SEE THIS ANYWAY. IT’S A DISCRACE.
Hi – I appreciate your blog and the info shared. BUT how does one contact the Oxygen Network and try for a spot on the “Dance Your Ass Off” reality series. Every time I try sending an email, I get an error message that it failed or not the correct address! I don’t live in New York or L.A. – is that a requirement HELP? Thanks.

My name is larissa, im 23 years old, im 5′3 and i weigh 280lbs. i’ve tried everything. smaller portions, exercise, diets, cutting out foods i love and replacing them with fat free, salt free, sugar free substitutes… i’ve even tried purging and starving myself. Nothing has worked. im MISERABLE.
the last few weeks i have been eating nothing but fruits, vegatables, brown rice, chicken and fish. i’ve also been going for daily walks and i love it, but in these few weeks.. i’ve gained 5lbs… i thought i was losing weight, and it was just another disapointment. But im not ready to give up on myself yet!!! i truly believe i can DANCE MY ASS OFF!!! PLEASE tell me how i can be part of it!!!
