Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

Touchstone Pictures is working on the sequel to 2005’s smash hit STEP UP – STEP UP 2 THE STREETS. Being a So You Think You Can Dance fan, I thought some of you might be interested to know that Touchstone Pictures is giving fans across the country an opportunity to be part of the sequel! Users have 3 ways to be a part of the movie for a priceless chance to:

1. Display their Talent as a Solo Dancer on the Big Screen

2. Perform in the Film with their Dance Crew

3. Appear as a Singer on the Official Soundtrack

To enter, users are invited to join the STEP UP 2 THE STREETS MySpace profile (yes, I hate linking to myspace) and record yourself or your dance groups dancing to a demo track from the film’s soundtrack by August 10. A group of finalists will be selected by the filmmaking team – including director Jon Chu, lead actor Robert Hoffman, and choreographers from the film (Isn’t one of the choreographers of So You Think You Can Dance doing the show?). MySpace users will vote for the ultimate winners to appear in the film.

If any of my readers submit a video of them dancing, I’d love to get a link or publicize your video on my blog.

STEP UP 2 THE STREETS opens in theaters February 14, 2008!

I ran across Lauren Gottlieb’s myspace page (which I will not be linking to since I can’t personally stand myspace) and she had some links to videos of her tryouts and then her choreography of a hip hop routine for the group in vegas. A very memorable part of the show, but I didn’t put it together that Lauren was the one in these videos. Always fun to take a look back.
