After co-hosting Entertainment Tonight for 10 years, John Tesh decided to pursue a career as a full-time musician.

He is known worldwide as a leader in entertainment and broadcasting with his impressive career that spans 25 years.

ALIVE: music&dance, from John Tesh, is an unforgettable fusion of music and dance coming together as never before seen on stage. The production, inspired by John's sneak peak at his young daughter's dance lessons one day, features a cast of nearly one hundred -- including a choir, singers, band, strings and ballet, hip hop and lyrical dancers between the ages of 13 and 21.

What You Can Expect

So many times we miss the talent and opportunity that stands right in front of us. I'll never forget the day I dropped my daughter off at dance class… and lingered for just a few extra moments. What I saw made my jaw drop. 7, 8, and 9 year old kids. 13 and 14 year olds dancing with joy like I had never seen.


JOHN TESH ALIVE music&dance is a television special that I have wanted to record since our very first PBS special, Live at Red Rocks. The live HD video of ballet, hip hop, band, orchestra and choir all coming together on stage will take your breath away.

You immediately embrace these young kids who have traded afternoons at the mall and hours in front of the tv for a commitment to develop their awesome talents as dances. 13 year old ballerinas. 20 year old hip hop dancers.

I remember the first time I saw “Fame” on the big screen and wanted so much to be the piano player in that performing arts high school. There’s a lot of innocence of that movie in these dance pieces. I invite you to experience just a taste of JOHN TESH ALIVE music&dance. Our mission with “Alive” was to show what can happen when kids find their passion. Every night on the news we are bombarded with stories of drugs, childhood obesity, teenage gang violence, and kids who are hooked on video games. Connect to a healthy passion and your face looks like this!

Our deepest desire is that millions of families would see this special and come alive together.
