E! has commissioned a new reality series following the lives of music video background dancers.

Candy Girls is a docusoap that focuses on a music talent agent and her two workers, who perform for acts including Kanye West, Outkast and Jay-Z.

The dancers will be filmed preparing for events such as the Super Bowl, the Grammys and album release parties.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, there will be eight half-hour episodes of the show. It is scheduled to premiere on March 8.

"This series introduces E!'s entertainment-obsessed viewers to an aspect of the industry that has not previously been revealed," said E! executive Lisa Berger.

"While these women may be recognised for their sexy personas, viewers will find there is much more to them than meets the eye."
