Our new show #Kushaboom starts Saturday 7:50am! Your little ones can join @HelenaDowlingTV for a special dance class! (You can join in too!)
"Kushaboom" (8 episodes x 5 minutes) is a brand new preschool series set in a enchanted dance studio and features a group of four children, who will make up the 'Kushaboom crew', joining Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon presenter Helena Dowling and her puppet co-presenter, DJ Kusha, for a very special dance class. Using the mechanic of a magical dance floor that transforms into a globe, every episode will take the audience on a geographical adventure where they will explore a different dance culture and learn corresponding dance moves. The series, filmed in Hackney, London will also feature a child actress from the Stagecoach Theatre Arts Weymouth performing arts school.


"Kushaboom" will also have a dedicated website on the official Nick Jr. UK website, NickJr.co.uk, which will feature exclusive interactive content, character information and online streaming video clips.

To celebrate the debut of "Kushaboom" on Nick Junior, NickJr.co.uk has unveiled a brand-new "Kushaboom" online dance game called "Dance with Helena", in which you can dance along with Helena and Kusha by pressing the spacebar when the musical note reaches the box. The game helps to aid a child's physical development teaching them how to follow instructions and they're communication and language skills by teaching them the alphabet.
