DanceOn continues original content push on Verizon's go90 with 'Chachi's World' and 'Every Single Step'
DanceOn continues to launch new originals on Verizon's go90 platform. Their partnership with Verizon's new OTT platform is leading to unique original shorts that incorporate top influencers. Most recently they've announced two new shows, "Chachi's World" and "Every Single Step." Here are the descriptions of each show followed by Found Remote's interview with Chachi Gonzales.
Chachi's World - stars teenager Chachi Gonzales alongside her sister/business partner Dominique Gonzales, manager Clinton Ray and super cute, human-like dog Lexi. The documentary-style show follows the dancer, choreographer and fashionista's newfound fame and blossoming solo career, which has gained her more than 3.3 million social media followers and more than 60 million YouTube views.
Every Single Step - The 10-episode series, produced by Nigel Lythgoe Productions and INE/Trium Entertainment, pits 10 choreographers against each other in themed challenges. In each 22-minute episode, "Every Single Step" will be to choreographers what "Project Runway" was to fashion designers with its fast-paced challenges.
Found Remote: What was it like winning MTV's show? How did being on TV change your career?
Chachi Gonzales: Winning ABDC was such an amazing experience. It really helped me learn so much about myself as a dancer and how much pressure I can handle. The show really jump started my career and I was easily accessible to the amazing fan base I have today. I'm very grateful for it!
FR: Your show is launching in go90 an internet platform from a very traditional media company (Verizon), what's it like being one of the first shows on this new experimental platform?
CG: It really is an honor to be one of the first shows on the app. I think it's an amazing platform, making shows like mine so easy to watch because this generation is always on the Internet. I'm always on my phone so I know my fan base is too! It's so cool to finally let my viewers get an inside look on my life.
FR: When did you realize you made it as an influencer?
CG: While I don't look at myself as having made it quite yet ,I'm lucky enough to inspire people all over the world. I think I realized my impact when I started to travel internationally and meet all these people who say they watch me everyday online. It's such a cool feeling to hear someone say I motivate them with my videos!
FR: Anything else?
CG: I always just want to give a big thanks to everyone who supports me! I wouldn't be doing the awesome things I get to do without them. I love you all!
