Dance 360 (2004-2005)[1] was a modern hip-hop television series that aired on UPN in which different dancers competed to win 360 dollars and an Xbox or a cell phone from Boost Mobile, Including a Fuse Sunbird Scooter. Sometimes, a clothing gear from Ecko Unlimited Or Meoshe Sport. It was hosted by Fredro Starr, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Kel Mitchell with DJ K-Sly providing the beats for the dancers.
The dancers were selected from the audience at the beginning of the show, and they competed one-on-one, with the winner going on to the next round. They were judged by the level of audience applause, according to a noise meter. In addition to the prizes awarded, the winner was also given the last few seconds of the show to give "shout outs" to friends and family. The show's title comes from the circle on the dance floor where the dancers competed.
The First Battle starts with Kel Tells about the battle and calls the battle, "Tag Ya Man*!", then points to one of the dancers to start after K-sky plays a beat, and another person comes to the dance floor and dance too, and two people is going head-to-head for a face to face dance battle. The three people will be voted to go to the Second Battle.
The Second Battle is called, "Master the Move", means the hosts, including a special guest from a radio station, will pick three people from the audience for each dancer to dance only one move and two people will be voted and moving to the final battle of the show. Sometimes, when two are tied with a number and one person is safe with the highest score and goes on, two people will have to go head-to-head.
The Third and Final Battle tells two dancers will dance solo in two rounds in two different beats and goes head-to-head. At the end, the audience decided who is the winner as, "The Top Dog of the 360" by looking at videotapes of the dancers.
The program aired one season in 2004 until cancellation in 2005 due to poor ratings and announced there will not be a second season.
