Series Premiere: Step It Up & Dance


Bravo's contribution to the world of reality dance competition shows, "Step It Up & Dance Off", premieres tonight at 11ET/10CT. The New York Times has a brief review. Past the mention of host's Elizabeth Berkley's seemingly undisturbable brow, this paragraph caught my attention:

The show's antic energy comes in part from its unpredictable relationship to stereotypes, the judges expecting the dancers both to plow right over them and play them up. In the debut episode the guest judge is Mel B. (Scary Spice), who tells a pretty dancer named Tovah that she really ought to be more comfortable with hip-hop because she is black.

Awesome. I'm totally there, as I'm recapping the first two episodes for a vacationing Megan (who is in Italy as I type -- lucky cow!).
