According to an article on realitytvworld.com, Bravo has announced the creation of “Step It Up,” a new reality series that blends elements of “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Project Runway.”
Magical Elves’ producers Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth - the same people behind Bravo’s “Project Runway” and “Top Chef” - are producing “Step It Up.” It will follow a similar format to the aforementioned shows, combining competitions with behind-the-scenes footage of what it takes to make it in the professional dance industry.
"We believe there is an emotional, dramatic and visually exciting side of the dance world that has yet to be explored," said Lipsitz. "We are very excited to take the same organic and passionate approach to dance, as we do to cooking in ‘Top Chef’ and fashion in ‘Runway.’"
Dancers competing against one another in “Step It Up” will be put through a series of challenges that will have them auditioning for various roles, such as a music video or Las Vegas stage show. In addition, the challenges are designed to both showcase the dancers' moves and test their abilities, with contestants being eliminated and only one receiving the cash grand prize.
Those interested in attending one of “Step It Up's” upcoming open casting calls must be at least 18 years old as of Sept 1, 2007. Two casting calls remain – one in New York on Oct. 6 and one in Atlanta on Oct. 13.
Additional information, such as applications and further casting requirements, is available via Bravo's Web site.
