As the high maintenance, over-the-top producer of the show, I’ve never seen him so hilarious. I think The Big Leap really means that these contestants are making a big leap out of their humdrum lives and comfort zones, going for their real dreams (of dancing) for true bliss.Ĭreated by Liz Heldens, The Big Leap boasts a diverse cast led by the standout Scott Foley (Felicity, Dawson’s Creek). The show is centered around auditioning wanna-be dancers that will be cast in something great or big, hence the title!

What they lack in the traditional dancer body type, they make up for with their edge, wit and desire to reimagine an iconic story to fit their own mold. The show revolves around a group of diverse underdogs from all different walks of life who compete to be part of a competition reality series that is putting on a modern, hip remake of Swan Lake.
