Dancing With The Stars announced their switch from ABC to Disney+ as their first-ever live series with two new spots produced by Los Angeles-based production company, NuContext.

Handling all aspects of production for the launch campaign in collaboration with the ABC Entertainment Marketing team, NuContext helped channel Disney’s inner magic beginning with the transformation of a family’s living room to an enchanted on-set experience and full-blown dance party, noting “let the magic of dance come alive.”

The magic continues throughout the second spot introducing hosts Tyra Banks and Alfonso Ribiero while revealing their all-new cast with the help of Peter Pan’s Tinkerbell. With disco balls turned Mickey heads, the spots build anticipation around the brand-new experience ahead of their September 19th launch.  Watch below:

The series, hosted by supermodel and businesswoman Tyra Banks and new co-host, actor and television personality Alfonso Ribeiro, returns to the ballroom with a lineup of celebrities including a platinum recording artist, a Real Housewife, a Bachelorette and a drag queen superstar, to name a few. Dancing with the Stars is produced by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.

The new celebrity cast will learn some new twists, tricks and kicks as the live show begins Monday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. EDT / 5 p.m. PDT, only on Disney+.
