BRANDON HENSCHEL will be judge on VH-1 NEW SHOW

Check Out DanceCam.VH1.com To Audition Now!

VH1 is looking for the most outrageously talented and wildly entertaining dancers from across the country to participate in a new weekly, multi-platform dance competition show. “Dance Cam Slam” is an all new VH1 original TV series where individual dancers and groups compete live via their home web cam for a chance to win a weekly prize of $5,000.

One of the judges will be Brandon Henschel from Hollywood Connection. Each episode of “Dance Cam Slam,” will consist of three rounds. In the first two rounds contestants dance simultaneously to the same pop song on their home web cams. Our judges score the performances and declare a winner. The third and final round pits the winners from the night’s first two rounds against last week’s champion. Contestants will all appear in individual windows on a giant video screen in our Los Angeles studio. Judges score the dancers based on the overall entertainment value of their performance on a scale of one to ten and the best combined score moves on.

During the final round, viewers at home will vote live at DanceCam.VH1.com and by text messaging on VH1 Mobile to determine which of the three finalists will win the $5,000 cash prize and return next week to defend the crown. Viewers at home can also comment on the dancers live via Twitter and possibly even see their tweets appear in the show. Anyone with a web cam and a high speed internet connection can audition at DanceCam.VH1.com. The premiere episode of “Dance Cam Slam” airs on Tuesday, October 26 at 10:00 PM* on VH1 immediately following that week’s episode of “Dancing With The Stars.”

SO what are you waiting for…make your videos and send them in!!!!! Be sure to watch Brandon Henschel premiering Tuesday, October 26 at 10:00 PM* on VH1.

GLEE...my new favorite show!

2009-10-06T07:43:00.000-07:00

Last year, when I watched the trailer for Glee I thought it was just another show for kids. I planned to watch it because our own Brooke Lipton was working 15 hours days on the set as an assistant choreographer and many of the Hollywood Connection dancers that Bill signed with his agency were also working on the show. But, I didn't plan on LIKING IT! Boy was a surprised. It just so happens that the creator and writer is RYAN MURPHY who created another one of my favorite shows, NIP TUCK. (This one is for adults kiddies!!!)

If you are an adult, and you were ever in choir, band or drama or just a geek in general like I was, YOU WILL LOVE THIS SHOW. The writing is superb, witty, sharp, hysterical and Jane Lynch (Coach Sue) is aboslutely hilarious. The dance numbers ROCK and the actors are well cast. Let's just hope this one draws a well deserved audience and doesn't end up being cancelled like the brilliant shows, Pushing Daises or Arrested Developement, all gone way too soon.

I will be posting favorite quotes from the show and episode recap from here on out....stay tuned.

MJ "This Is It" Movie

2009-08-27T10:33:00.000-07:00

Check out the article below written by Ben Fritz on August 10 of the Los Angeles times about the upcoming movie "This Is It".

Michael Jackson will be hitting the big screen on one of the toughest dates of the year at the box office.

Sony Pictures confirmed the long-reported deal that it is joining with Sony Music Entertainment to release a movie featuring behind-the-scenes and rehearsal footage from preparation for the late singer's "This Is It" concert series in London.

Sony paid $60 million to concert producer AEG and the singer's estate for rights to turn the footage into a movie. Though the deal was negotiated in July, it was officially approved by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge this month.

The studio will release the film, also called "This Is It," worldwide on Friday, Oct. 30. Sony will no doubt be tying the opening into Michael Jackson's Halloween-oriented classic album and video "Thriller." But with the holiday falling on a Saturday, attendance will likely be soft on what's normally the busiest movie-going day of the week.

Many of the fall's best release dates are already taken, however. The only other movie currently scheduled to open Oct. 30 is The Weinstein Co.'s comedy "Youth in Revolt."

Sony also revealed that some sequences, which were shot for use in the concert, will be in digital 3-D.

[Updated 2:55 p.m.: Now that the deal has been approved by the court, said a source close to the project, Sony will begin negotiations with "High School Musical" director Kenny Ortega, Jackson's creative partner on the concert series, to direct the movie.

That will consist primarily of sorting through and editing the hundreds of hours of footage for which Sony has obtained theatrical rights.]

2009-03-10T20:08:00.000-07:00

Disney has announced that another installment of the dance hit "Step Up" franchise has been green lighted. This time the film has a gimmick...a dance scene in 3D. Those of you who wish to feel like you are a part of the action will be able to be right in the mix of this dance sequel. We are very interested in seeing how this concept turns out.

High School Musical fans the news is out! The fourth film is in pre-production and is called "High School Musical: The College Years". However this production will not house the original cast instead it will star an all new cast of title characters. Considering the popularity of the last three films we are sure this will be a big hit!
