Jennifer, who is no stranger to reality TV having judged on ‘American Idol’, and her Nuyorican Productions have teamed up with NBC to create ‘World of Dance’, which she will executively produce.

It’s not yet clear whether she will be on camera during the show.

According to Digital Spy, everyone from solo dancers to duos to crews will be able to compete in a number of styles, with the divisions being junior (any act under 16 years old), upper (groups of 1-4 people, aged over 16), and team (groups of over five people aged 16 and up).

Those who make it through to the show after qualifying events and online submissions will be judged using a points system, in the hopes of being crowned number one.

Entertainment Tonight reports that, in a statement, Jennifer said: “This will be a fierce talent-heavy dance competition that embraces the raw emotion and excitement that dance represents.

“I am excited to work with World of Dance, an organization that has had an immeasurable impact on the dance community, to give all dancers an enormous platform where their dreams can be realized.”
