Step It Up and Dance Cast & Crew

Ooh, a dance competition show! Why did no one think of this before? Following in the steps of ``Dancing With the Stars,'' ``So You Think You Can Dance'' and their clones, this reality series puts 12 professional dancers through challenges in a variety of dance styles in a bid to win that ``final callback'' to become the ultimate dancer, which includes a cool $100,000 in cash. Elizabeth Berkley is host, while Tony-winning director-choreographer Jerry Mitchell (``Hairspray'') serves as mentor to the dancers. Judges include choreographers Vincent Paterson and Nancy O'Meara. Jane Lipsitz, Dan Cutforth and series creator Gunnar Wetterberg are executive producers.
