Dancin' On Air was a 1980s television dance music reality show. It was the forerunner of the TV show Dance Party USA of the same genre. Both shows were produced and created by Michael Nise and his father Frank. The show started with US$100,000 from a small group of investors that included The Tonight Show Band leader Doc Severinsen. The program earned a 128% return on investment (ROI) within the first six months. Dancin' On Air was shot live at WPHL-TV Channel 17 studios in Philadelphia. The production staff worked out of the Nises' production offices and studios located in Camden, NJ.
