Deadline

Move, previously known as 8 Count, is Fox's second attempt to create a drama series inspired by Gibson's experience, including her choreography work with stars like Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. According to Deadline, Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta's "Move is a music-fueled dramedy that follows an accomplished choreographer who, in order to redeem her damaged reputation in the cutthroat music/dance world, sets her sights on creating a flawless tour for a diva pop singer. To get the coveted gig, though, she’ll have to fend off competition from her arch rival…who happens to be her former assistant. At the same time, she must act as mother hen to her talented, but often difficult, team of dancers who depend on her."
