This is basically "Tik Tok" the show, the dances are lame, the judges are the most basic and the whole series doesnt have anything going for it. Wouldn't recommend.

Honestly love Shakira and Nick Jonas but this show.... yeah its not good, the whole concept is new but it feels very much after a rehash of the JLo show World of Dance which was produced and directed a lot better. That series had an actual clear competition based concept that worked better for these types of shows.

I've been performance dancing in combination modern dance all my life I'm 61 years old, & I think the pickings are wrong in S 1, ep. 1, totally crazy! Caitlin and Marcus were the best dancers they should've never been eliminated I know that the big model was okay & give him credit for his energy but I don't understand how they could pick the big bouncy machine over precise cutting dancers like Marcus and Caitlin that was unbelievable totally unbelievable. However I am glad that there's a show like this to promote dancers for their future.
NBC has been struggling to find the next America's Got Talent for awhile now. They've tried their hand at reality based television aside from the scripted stuff they usually put out but aside from World Of Dance (The Ne-Yo/Jennifer Lopez show) that lasted for 4 Seasons have yet to get something good.
Dancing With Myself is a failed attempt at re-creating what the former did so well which was be intriguing. The judges themselves are pretty poor, there is a lack of cohesiveness in the editing and the approach of the entire show feels off.
Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone trying to watch a competition show worth getting invested in.

My Daughter loves Shakira so we tuned in.... yeah its not at all a good show, we tried to get into it but it was just so corny and felt scripted, the banter between the judges feels forced. It would have been better were they actually bad dancers so we could at least get a laugh out but i wont be watching again.

I can't believe someone pitched the idea for this show in a room full of executives and they all thought it's a great idea. This show was doomed from the start. It's so boring, and if only the judges had more chemistry together... They all looked like they're over each other and just there for a paycheck. I love Nick Jonas and Shakira as musicians and I understand they need famous faces to draw in viewers, but not everyone has a personality for TV and they should've done a chemistry test between potential judges. I know their fans will not like to hear it but they are not a good fit. Hell, if this show can even make it to season 2, please change the entire format. And just get Vanessa Hudgens to replace Shakira, she has a fantastic personality that draws in viewers and bring Derek Hough back no matter what cost.
I love Shakira, but this show is not it. It's the most fast-paced, flashy, mind-numbing reality show I've ever seen. I get that they were trying something new with having a new winner every episode, but it just makes the entire thing feel rushed, and you never get the opportunity to emotionally connect or invest in anyone in particular, which ends up leaving you apathetic about the whole thing. The visuals are too much stimulus - too intense, jarring, and garish. The chemistry between the judges feels forced and the jokes feel scripted and unfunny. Also, to me the appeal of Shakira's dancing was always the authenticity, the free-flowing, almost improvisational style and the communication of emotion and/or sensuality. Unfortunately, her new tiktok-style dances seem devoid of any underlying concept or artistry. Just like...lame tiktok teen vibes.

The show is really unique in the sense of its design to fit everyone and not just professional dancers. Shakira is iconic, Liza is so funny, Nick lacks a bit, and the host is so pretty. The show is in 3 words fun, fun, fun. Just something new from other dance competitions.

Amazing show, really fun how watch :) Excited for next week 😍 Shakira along with the amazing Nick Jonas and Liza Koshi!!! What a team. Their smiles and partnerships are incredible and contagious! Really brings a smile to my face watching not only the contestants have fun but also the judging panel have a blast too. The show is a great addition to nbc :)

I will tell you that this dance competition show is not one of the worst shows ever nor one of the best.
Twelve competitors try to survive six rounds of elimination, replicating brief routines, dancing with partners, interpreting music, etc. Each round is different. Winners are determined by the studio audience and three judges.
The perfect tv audience for this show is the person who teaches himself dance moves from youtube. Or the person who wants a new challenge that Dance Dance Revolution cannot offer. I can see them out there, dancing in their stocking feet in front of their tv's.
I am not describing myself. I just appreciate good dancing and the particular skills required to repeat a dance sequence just seen. That ability works well for contestants on other dance shows who have to follow the instructions of a choreographer.

Too many contestants, too little time. One needed more time to observe and appreciate each dancer. And frankly, most didn't seem that good. In addition, the judging came too fast and seemingly from no one in particular.
Unlike any other show, this one feels less "judgy", the dancers seem to having fun too, none of it seems forced or vigorously rehearsed. It's very relaxing to watch that, but Shakira is such a gifted dancer! This show is not for boring people at all, that's for sure!

This show is so desperate, the ad's are suddenly everywhere i watched the first 15 minutes and omg the judges could not be any less genuine. The critics are not actual critics "You rock" "your a star" "you owned it" says Shakira the most faceless comments a judge can give. Nick Jonas at least has some charm but by far and long this show is a dud do not waste your time.
I tried getting into it but just couldn't. There is no chemistry between the judges. Shakira is devoid of any fun or charm (she's no Jennifer Lopez) was actually looking forward to this because the trailers made it seem like it was going to be fun but dont waste your time.

This show looks less like a dance competition but more like Shakira trying to showcase herself as a great dancer which she isn't. She's so unfunny and the judges lack chemistry.

It was supposed to be a fun show. But it's better to watch tiktok videos on my cell phone whenever I want. The panel of judges in most situations has nothing to say and they go out of their way to give a feeling that everything is going wonderfully well. But it's not. For those who take dancing seriously, they should look for another type of show.

Shakira is genuinely so cool to be around, the idea is actually very fun, and all the judges seem to have a lot chemistry. My family and I loved the show, we'll be tunning in next week!

Literally out of every single Dancing series that's been on the air in the past 20+ years this has to be the worst including that dumb Paula Abdul show.

At first it may seem like a stupid program but it's fun and a great entertainment provider. Great choice of judges, Shakira, Nick Jonas and Liza Koshy! Congratulations, NBC.

It should be on MTV or Nickelodeon not NBC, you can't see talented dancers dancing like in World of Dance, America's Got Talent etc. It was all about creating viral tik tok dance but failed.
Who dances like this? The music is terrible. The dancers flail, seemingly at random. Meanwhile, the judges' careers are being destroyed in real time. What a mess...
Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of "dancing with myself" if somebody's choreographing their moves and then they have to learn them? I don't think there's enough there to make it a TV show and they really need to get rid of Shakira.

I tried to like it but ...boy did it suck !!! The 42 endless minutes ( we stream without commercials) it took to watch seemed like hours ... it drug on with one boring routine after another !!!!
Only turned on because I saw Shakira was on and she looked like she was checked out completely - Nick Jonas looked bored out of his mind - his expressions were too funny ... Don't waste 42 minutes if your life like I did people.

I'll stretch my review and give it a charitable 1. The audience voting makes no sense and has become so predictable. Undeserving older contestants and kids get voted in and saved just for being there at the expense of far superior dancers. Stretched to a 1 because every once in a while there is a good dancer.
