Hi Tonya,

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with Matt Murphy re: the quality of talent found for "Dance Wars". It leaves quite a bit to be desired since only like 1-3 of them can actually belt out a song. Having just seen "Wicked" recently, which had amazing lead singers and dancing, made me see that this group of contestants is sadly lacking in Broadway- level talent, IMHO. I watch the show only through you tube so I can skip all the crap and just watch the routines. It is still entertaining though. OK. That's all from the peanut gallery for now.

Thanks for commenting, Tha. Yeah, the previews of 'Step Up 2' looked like hip hop and breakdancing, but to me so did the ones of 'How She Move' until I saw the movie. Actually the floor work still looks like breakdancing, making me think some of the dancers are combining dance forms to create something new. Thanks for the distinction,though.

Actually just a small quib, but Step Up 2 is more about breakdancing/hip hop dancing than step dancing. Doesn't seem like a huge difference at first, but it's kind of like comparing contemporary/modern dancers to ballet dancers : )
