songs are loved and mimicked not only by fans, but by superstar
actors, athletes and music artists alike.
When asked about being part of the tour, Silento says, "I'm so
excited about Let's Dance The Tour. It's my first major
concert tour and I'm looking forward to performing from city to
city. All the artist on this tour is killing the game right
now and we're definitely gonna turn up and make the entire audience
dance. Watch me!"
Scream Nation and Live Nation are excited about the prospects of
"Let's Dance" The Tour 2016. Michael Mauldin, CEO of Scream Nation and
producer of the tour, says, "'Let's Dance' The Tour
2016 is creatively unique, because of its theatrical style
stage production and the fact that it will showcase hip-hop music
and choreographed dances alongside each other, with dance really
being at the forefront. To help ensure the concept, we have brought
in dance choreographer Jeremy
Green of Dance 411 to serve as Creative Director
for the stage show. We're super excited because we're not just
marketing this to a small, niche demographic. Our target audience
is Teens and Young Adults, but this tour will appeal to all
different ages, races and income levels. It's really universal and
people can expect to be entertained and participate in what we call
'A Fun Filled, DANCING good time.'"
