HOLIDAY COMEDY WITH MUSIC/DANCE. Whirl and twirl your way into the holiday season with “Dancing with the Clauses,” the reality-TV show where dancers compete for the honor of becoming the top dancing team at the North Pole. Two jingle-bell-loving elves serve as the judges. Contestants include the square-dancing Santa and Mrs. Claus, ballet-dancing Sugar Plum Fairies, discoing elves, clumsy ballet-dancing snowmen, elves performing a holiday cheer routine, and a high-energy reindeer dance number complete with a kick line. Choose your own holiday carols. A fun, festive show for all ages.
