DanceOn, Inc. - the dominant digital network for dance and music entertainment - launched "Every Single Step", a new choreography competition series from Nigel Lythgoe, the creator of Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance?" Starring acclaimed choreographer Brian Friedman as a mentor, "Every Single Step" premieres Nov. 19 exclusively on go90, the mobile-first social entertainment platform.

The 10-episode series, produced by Nigel Lythgoe Productions and INE/Trium Entertainment, pits 10 choreographers against each other in themed challenges. In each 22-minute episode, "Every Single Step" will be to choreographers what "Project Runway" was to fashion designers with its fast-paced challenges.

Helping decide who stays in the competition and who is eliminated is a new celebrity guest judge each week - many of whom have won an Emmy or been nominated - such as Mandy Moore, Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo, Tessandra Chavez, Rich and Tone Talauega, Brooke Lipton, Willdabeast, Migel Zarate and Ian Eastwood.

"Every Single Step shines a new perspective on dance competitions. For the first time, audiences get to root for the choreographers rather than the dancers and go deeper into the creation of their show stopping performances," said DanceOn CEO Amanda Taylor. "We are thrilled to be working with Nigel Lythgoe and go90 to bring this new series to life."

The show, hosted by influencer Liza Koshy, culminates in the finale episode, in which Lythgoe and Friedman bring in dance industry superstars Tricia Miranda and Kenny Ortega to help decide which of the two finalists will take home the grand prize of $25,000.
