The first night of Shark Week on Discovery is going to be a huge one as we get the premiere of “Dancing with Sharks,” “Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus,” and “Great White Assassins” on July 20th. “Dancing with Sharks” is hosted by Tom Bergeron as this is a competition that is very different than others. Five divers are going to do a routine with hammerheads, tiger sharks and nurse sharks with their dance moves. There will be a winner if they make it past the danger. In “Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus,” there is a hunt for Colossus the shark who went missing 10 years ago from South Africa, and in “Great White Assassins” shark expert Alison Towner teams up with Dickie Chivell to figure out how killer whales take down great white sharks with little to no effort.
