The former American Idol judge says viewers will be treated to a no-holds-barred approach to dance. “We’re looking for all forms of dance and you can be any age, any style of dance, [and] any number of people or individuals can get on stage,” she says. Abdul also recommends that dancers “fuse styles together,” suggesting a tap-dancer could perform with a hip-hop group in the same number.
