DanceOne will serve as the world’s largest dance holding company, featuring the nation’s leading dance education and competitions. “The whole team is beyond excited to make DanceOne the biggest global dance brand available to everyone in all markets.

The idea of being able to capture the joy, spirit, and love of dance, in all forms, and support all these choreographers and dancers in all of their creative endeavors couldn’t be closer to my heart,” Shankman told Variety. “Being able to tap into all of these resources to create or platforms and programming for the dance community and beyond is our mission at DanceOne, and I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and create, create, create!” Shankman whose credits include “Hairspray” and “Rock of Ages” will work with DanceOne teams on content development, faculty assessment, program strategy and creative direction for competitions and tours. “I’m thrilled to be joining the incredible DanceOne team.

Personally, I would have nothing without dance. It’s who I am, and what gave me a life. Elevating dancers, choreographers, teachers, and putting them on the global digital stage while developing unique educational, scripted, documentary, and non-scripted content is something I’ve always dreamed of.
