Disney Fam Jam is a fun American dance competition TV show that first aired on Disney Channel on February 23, 2020. This exciting series is hosted by Ariel Martin, Trevor Tordjman, and Phil Wright.

What is Disney Fam Jam?

Disney Fam Jam is a dance competition where two families show off their best moves. Each family works hard to create an amazing dance routine.

How the Competition Works

Phil Wright, a talented choreographer, helps the families learn and perfect their dance steps. He teaches them cool moves and helps them put together their routines.

While the families dance, Ariel Martin and Trevor Tordjman host the main event. They keep the energy high and cheer on the families.

Winning the Fam Jam Trophy

After both families perform, the audience gets to vote for their favorite dance. The family with the most votes wins a grand prize of $10,000! They also get to take home the special Fam Jam Trophy. The other family, who comes in second place, receives $2,500.

How Disney Fam Jam Was Made

Disney Fam Jam was inspired by Phil Wright's popular online dance classes called The Parent Jam. These classes showed how much fun families can have dancing together.
