Toes tapping with impatience for So You Think You Can Dance to come back from its duration-of-the-Olympics hiatus? Oxygen’s debuting series All the Right Moves should tide you over.
The new reality series revolves around SYTYCD alum/now Emmy-nominated choreographer Travis Wall‘s attempts to form a dance troupe with three childhood friends. Though Wall comes off a little too practiced in his direct camera address (“It’s time for me to face my fear…”), he’s enjoyably bitchy with his best friends and housemates, and the pilot plucks great material from the setup – four dudes: two gay, two straight, and equal partners in the company but with only one sporting the kind of name recognition that gets agents and investors a-flutter. Also fun: Playing “Spot the SYTYCD Vet.” I counted at least a half-dozen in the first ep – and weep no more for Season 8 early axed Alexa Fost: She’s found a good home.
All the Right Moves premieres on Oxygen tonight at 8pm; the pilot’s already streaming at the official website here.
