Today, Scream Nation, in conjunction with Live Nation, announced "Let's Dance" The Tour 2016. Let's Dance is a U.S. concert tour starring today's most popular hip-hop choreographed dance music (CDM) artists, Silento, iLOVEMemphis (fka iHEARTMemphis), DLOW, We Are Toonz and 99 Percent. The tour will be co-hosted by #TeamNueEra and also feature Double J, winner of the 2015 Ultimate Mad DJ Competition, along with some of the world's most beloved social media dancers. Kicking off on March 4, 2016 in Miami, Let's Dance will make stops in major cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New York City and Washington, DC. Tickets for "Let's Dance" The Tour 2016 go on sale on Saturday, January 30th at www.LiveNation.com.

"Let's Dance" The Tour 2016 is prepped to be a refreshing and electrifying offering of live entertainment that a wide audience from pre-teens to young adults can enjoy. Over the last two years, Let's Dance's featured talent have taken the world by storm with their infectious, hit songs such as "Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)," "DLOW Shuffle," "Hit the Quan," "Drop That NaeNae" and "Yike in It." Along with the choreographed dance routines and challenges, these artists and songs are loved and mimicked not only by fans, but by superstar actors, athletes and music artists alike.

When asked about being part of the tour, Silento says, "I'm so excited about Let's Dance The Tour. It's my first major concert tour and I'm looking forward to performing from city to city. All the artist on this tour is killing the game right now and we're definitely gonna turn up and make the entire audience dance. Watch me!"

Scream Nation and Live Nation are excited about the prospects of "Let's Dance" The Tour 2016. Michael Mauldin, CEO of Scream Nation and producer of the tour, says, "'Let's Dance' The Tour 2016 is creatively unique, because of its theatrical style stage production and the fact that it will showcase hip-hop music and choreographed dances alongside each other, with dance really being at the forefront. To help ensure the concept, we have brought in dance choreographer Jeremy Green of Dance 411 to serve as Creative Director for the stage show. We're super excited because we're not just marketing this to a small, niche demographic. Our target audience is Teens and Young Adults, but this tour will appeal to all different ages, races and income levels. It's really universal and people can expect to be entertained and participate in what we call 'A Fun Filled, DANCING good time.'"
