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. The show featured music from several influential Detroit techno artists.[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 debuted in 1988,[2] the first show being recorded at Reggie's Moulin Rouge in Detroit. Production later moved to Highland Park in 1994 after R.J. Watkins' purchase of WHPR-FM. 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. Reruns currently air on the now-WHPS-CD at various evening timeslots.
