Jennifer Lopez, a renowned celebrity worth millions of dollars, had to overcome various struggles before achieving success in Hollywood. Despite being a skilled dancer, it took her years to make a name for herself. As an executive producer of the new NBC show World of Dance, J.Lo shared that the program brings her back to her earlier days and roots.

During the NBC summer press day, Jennifer Lopez shared her early experiences as a dancer. She considers herself a dancer first, and it is an integral part of who she is. Prior to making it big in Hollywood, she earned her stripes on the dance floor as a Fly Girl on TV’s In Living Color back in 1991. However, her early days as a dancer were challenging, as she struggled to make ends meet with very little money. Jennifer reminisces about only being able to afford one piece of pizza every day while living the life of a dancer. Despite the struggles, she wouldn’t trade those years for anything because they helped shape her into the person she is today. For Jennifer Lopez, coming from humble beginnings makes achieving her dreams all the more rewarding.

The multi-talented artist not only judges but also works as an executive producer on the fresh dance competition series World of Dance, airing on NBC.

In the beginning of her dancing career, she faced some financial challenges and earned a meager income. She has openly shared that during this time, she had to rely on only one slice of pizza to make it through the day.

J-Lo’s early breakthrough came when she landed a spot as a Fly Girl dancer on the popular Fox series In Living Color in 1991. Her performances with the troupe included routines that were showcased during commercial breaks. Currently, Lopez not only serves as an executive producer but also a judge for a competition show. This is not her first rodeo as she previously judged American Idol for five seasons and gained valuable insights from the experience. According to J-Lo, being able to move and evoke emotions from the audience is what truly sets an artist apart.

Assisting budding talent: The artist took to her Instagram account last Friday and shared a sneak peek, where she imparted valuable advice to a child participant on the show.

Get ready for some exciting summer entertainment as the popular singer is set to appear on an upcoming NBC show. Alongside Derek Hough, Ne-Yo, and Jenna Dewan Tatum who will host the program, the pop star will be sharing her expertise with viewers. In a teaser posted on her Instagram, she advised aspiring dancers to make the audience feel something if they want to win the grand prize of one million dollars. The dance competition will feature solo artists, duos, and groups from various genres including hip hop, krumping, ballet, tap, break dancing, and many more. The winner will take home the coveted prize of $1 million. Catch the premiere on May 8th at 10 p.m.

The upcoming dance competition will feature solo performers, duos, and groups competing across a range of genres, including hip hop, krumping, popping, locking, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom, clogging, and stomping. According to J-Lo, the competition will be an intense showcase of raw emotion and excitement that is inherent in dance. She expressed her excitement to partner with World Of Dance, an organization that has made a significant contribution to the dance community, to offer a massive platform for dancers to realize their dreams. Jennifer Lopez’s own dreams came true through dance, specifically on the Fox hit series In Living Color, where she performed as a Fly Girl dancer in 1991 and participated in several routines that flanked commercials.

Back in the early days of her entertainment career, Jennifer Lopez became a part of In Living Color for its third season as a Fly Girl.

Back in 1993, Jennifer had the chance to combine her two passions in an exciting opportunity. She not only performed as a backup dancer but also acted in the introduction segment of Janet Jackson’s music video for That’s The Way Love Goes. Her fiery personality was on full display during the opening dialogue. After that experience, Jennifer shifted her focus to acting and eventually landed a leading role in the Selena biopic in 1997. But she didn’t stop there – Jennifer also ventured into music and proved to be a triple threat with the success of her debut solo album On The 6 in 1999, which featured the chart-topping single If You Had My Love.

She’s returning to her origins by taking on the role of executive producer and judge for the prime time dance competition program.
