Atom bombing.

Welcome to the French space disco torture chamber circus. Yeah, I know it's a lot to take in, but when you're a modern dancer it's just another day on the apparatus. How do words really describe the "majesty" of swinging on a giant, silver, atom-inspired structure to Gwen Stefani music anyway? Perhaps the written words will always fall short of such visual magic, but I'll try though. Believe you me, I will try. On y va, mes amis!

Breaking News: Broadway still flamingly gay

Reality gets turned on its head this week. Straight Men give better musical theatre action than the gay boys and Mean Gay isn't even the most annoying one in the house. What is happening on Step It Up and Dance? Nomi is either doing some voodoo with those eyes or those straight boys aren't as butch that they claim to be...Let's find out on Step It Up and Dance!

Step It Up and Dance: Sweeping the Nation!

Chimneysweeps
When you're with a 'sweep, you're in glad company!

This week on Step It Up and Dance a British chimney sweep descends upon our dancers with the mission to prove once and for all that blue collar workers have impeccable rhythm and no need for expensive percussive instruments. No, it's not Dick Van Dyke and his gang of fey chimney sweepers, but he's equally impish, merry and quite the rascal! Let's meet the broom-spinning founder of Stomp and see what tricks he has up his sleeve for our ragtag troupe!

An urban dance tale is nothing without a moving back story.

Let's give it up for all the troubled-urban-youth-with-exceptional-dance-skills genre of movie! Those movies get a glorious send up this week on Step It Up and Dance, courtesy of nine dancers with a mostly tenuous grip on the art of this dance. Who will step it up and who will merely step it badly? Join me as we explore this week's rollicking adventure!

Flying Hookers: worth every penny.

Week two! And it's time for our "pimps and prostitutes" week, brought to us by the chic French underground dance world of course. Those Parisians can make anything fashionable. The girls get tarted up and the boys attempt to butch up. It's hard work for the latter group, but fun for us.

Step it Up and Dance: Nomi Malone sticks it to Cristal Connors yet again.

**Note from the Editor: Alright, Gasmii. You've sent letters requesting this one, so please welcome InternetSensation with Step it Up and Dance! And you thought we never listened...xo

It's Nomi, bitch.


Welcome to Step It Up and Dance! More than a decade later we find out what happens to Nomi Malone when she hitches her way out Vegas to the City of Angels. Why she gets to host a show on Bravo! Those sexy looks and raw ambition were bound to take her far. But, enough about Nomi, we got twelve new egomaniacal and driven dancers equally as delightful to watch. If you love tears, flaming gay men, and hearing the phrase "step it up" approximately three hundred times in an hour, then this is the show for you! As if watching Nomi wasn't reason enough.
