WilldaBeast Adams To Topline Portal A-Produced Dance Special For YouTube Red

Hip hop dance luminary-turned-YouTube superstar William ‘WilldaBeast’ Adams — who has amassed more than 2 million subscribers on the strength of his irresistible choreography clips to tracks by Beyonce and Chris Brown — is bringing his rhythmic stylings to YouTube Red.

Adams will topline a new documentary special for the subscription service titled One Shot, in which he will hit the streets of Miami to discover underground talent, ultimately casting noteworthy dancers in a music video to be directed by frequent collaborator Tim Milgram. “I’ve been blessed to help people I believe in by being a little part of a lot of dancers’ journeys,” the 29-year-old, who has also worked with Usher and Madonna, shared on Instagram. “What happens if we travel the world and find those who, like me, are overlooked, just need a shot — who need to see a light at the end of the tunnel?”

The special will be produced by renowned digital studio Portal A

, and bows on Red next Thursday. Adams teased that future episodes could explore the underground dance scenes in other cities worldwide. Check out the trailer below.

“One Shot has been a passion project of ours and we’re thrilled to be getting it out into the world with YouTube Red,” said Portal A co-founder Nate Houghteling, who executive produced the piece alongside Kai Hasson and Zach Blume. “It brings together much of what we love about making original series — the opportunity to partner with breakout talent like Willdabeast and tell fresh stories in a non-traditional way.”

Given the immense popularity of dance videos on YouTube, One Shot arrives on the heels of Step Up: High Water — another dance-centric Red original based on the popular Step Up movie franchise, which dropped last month.
