The New Dance Show

The New Dance Show is a television series in Detroit, Michigan, which ran on WGPR-TV 62 (now a CBS affiliate known as WWJ-TV) and W68CH 68 (now WHPS-CD 15).

Hosted by R.J. Watkins, The New Dance Show was a local version of Soul Train and featured regular dancers, including a man who dressed like a Gypsy and who wore a cape, and a woman who dressed as a boxer.

[1] The New Dance Show was developed as a spin-off of The Scene, which ran from October 1975 to December 1987.

The New Dance Show briefly ended production shortly afterward after WGPR was sold and Watkins signed on his W68CH as a sister station to WHPR,[3] which would resume production of The New Dance Show for two additional years.
