JoJo Siwa is staying busy.
On Wednesday, Nickelodeon and Awesomeness announced that the 17-year-old multi-hyphenate star is set to appear in and executive produce a brand new musical called The J Team.
The live-action, 90-minute feature follows "a young girl named JoJo (Siwa) whose life is turned upside down when her beloved dance coach Val (Laura Soltis) decides to retire and is replaced by a sparkle-hating instructor named Poppy (Tisha Campbell-Martin)," according to a press release.
JoJo and her friends (played by Kerrynton Jones and Kiara T. Romero) try their best to follow Poppy's new rules in order to stay eligible for a dance competition. Soon, though, JoJo is kicked out of the troupe, forcing her to "rediscover what dancing means to her."

In another Instagram post, Siwa shared a video of herself working on some choreography. "The hotel room zoom quarantine rehearsal version of some choreography for a new project!! gotta make it work??????????????," she said.
Then, while appearing virtually as a guest on The Tonight Show on Wednesday evening, Siwa - who recently came out as a member of the LGBTQ community last month - also teased more about the upcoming project, telling host Jimmy Fallon that she is "so pumped up" about the film.
"This musical is centered around my life and also centered around being yourself and centered around staying true to who you are" Siwa said. "And even when the world is telling you that it's not going to happen, it's not going to happen, you're believing [yourself] - because you're you."
