RTÉjr Goes Dancing With The Stars
Episode 11
TX: Thursday 21st March at 6pm on RTÉjr
It’s semi-final week at RTÉjr Goes Dancing With The Stars and things are hotting up. Backstage Darragh & Darcy want to know if the dancers have been practicing their ‘goin’ home face’ or their ‘in the final face’. They catch up with Johnny & Emily to see how their rehearsals are going with two dances to prepare and test their knowledge of dance names with an emoji game. Jen makes time to chat to the pair and they all get arty with the make & do set to design costumes for the dancers. Judge Julian offers his words or wisdom on the challenge that faces the three finalists – what to watch for, what to love.
Sparkly news and fun for littles and families on RTÉjr.
Series
For the first time children’s audiences have their very own place at the DWTS party. RTÉjr Goes Dancing With The Stars is a weekly entertainment show with presenters Darcy(11) and Darragh (13) bringing all the behind the scenes news and fun to young families on RTÉjr television. It’s a sparkling playground for this young presenting team to make mischief! They have the perfect kids-eye-view of the show with access to explore all of the angles younger viewers might be curious about: catch-ups with dancers, judges and presenters, dip into captain sparkle’s workshop, having a go at make-up & hair – just whatever catches their eye. There’s nowhere and nobody out of bounds to Darcy & Darragh.
All of that plus reporting from the hustle and bustle of backstage nerves.
Join Darcy and Darragh for the perfect sparkly antidote to the ‘bad news’ at 6 o’clock.
