Netflix is bringing us a delightful new show produced by Rainn Wilson, and one episode is dedicated entirely to the whimsical world of competitive dog dancing. After the rollercoaster of a year that is 2020—marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, a tumultuous presidential election, and various social issues—Netflix has been a bright spot. From “Tiger King” to “Cheer,” the platform continues to surprise us with its incredible content. The latest gem? A docuseries called We Are the Champions, which dives into some of the most unusual competitions worldwide, including professional dog dancing. Plus, it’s narrated by Rainn Wilson, so we’re in for a good time.
We Are the Champions, produced by the beloved star of The Office, premiered on Netflix on November 17. The show showcases a variety of quirky contests that leave you saying, “Wait, what?” This season features events like cheese rolling, chili eating, fantasy hair styling, yo-yo, frog dancing, and of course, dog dancing.
A teaser for the dog dancing episode was released recently, capturing all the joy you’d expect from the phrase “competitive dog dancing.” Expect wagging tails, enthusiastic judges with distinctive accents, and plenty of quirky humans dancing alongside their furry companions as if they’re on “Dancing with the Stars.”
The episode spotlights the Open European Championship, akin to a beauty pageant but with German Shepherds, Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and even rescue dogs performing intricate routines alongside their human partners. Some of these pooches even don jewelry!
According to the episode description from Variety, “We Are the Champions” follows the world’s top dog dancers at the Open European Championship, where the canines master over 400 commands in a single four-minute routine. Whether it’s heelwork or freestyle, these dogs truly shine as perfect dance partners.
If you can’t contain your excitement for watching dogs and their humans dance, we’ve found clips from past competitions, including a charming duet of an Australian Shepherd dancing with its owner to Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.”
While some pairs lean towards more classical routines, dog dancing is definitely a unique niche we can’t help but love. And we’re equally excited about the upcoming Yo-Yo championship!
Rainn Wilson shared with Variety, “We Are the Champions celebrates weirdness, finds beauty in idiosyncrasies, and demonstrates what it takes to rise to the top—heart. As someone who appreciates the unconventional, I’m thrilled to introduce viewers to these small-world competitors with big dreams—because, during this time, we could all use a hero, whether that’s a dancing dog or the world Yo-Yo champion.”
