Today, Quibi released the official trailer for its dance competition series The Sauce<\/strong> starring Usher and Ayo & Teo<\/strong>. The Sauce launches on Quibi on April 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cDance continues to drive much of our popular culture in increasingly more meaningful ways, and I can\u2019t wait to help these young dancers express their extraordinary talent and vision,\u201d<\/strong> Usher said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m excited to be working with Quibi and The FRONT, who share my vision for cutting-edge, culture-forward content and have created an innovative platform to recognize incredibly gifted dancers from across the nation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
