Step It Up And Dance, a reality television show that aired on Bravo in 2008, followed the lives of 12 dancers who were challenged to showcase their skills in various dance forms by a panel of expert judges. Hosted by Elizabeth Berkley, Step It Up And Dance was an intense competition that tested the dancers' versatility, creativity, and ability to handle pressure.

The head judge on the show was none other than Jerry Mitchell, an award-winning choreographer who had worked on several Broadway productions, including Hairspray and The Full Monty. Alongside him were two other judges, Nancy O'Meara, a dance instructor and coach, and Nick Drago, a choreographer who had previously worked with the likes of Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson.

The contestants on the show came from diverse backgrounds in dance, ranging from ballet to hip hop, and had varying levels of experience. Over a course of ten episodes, Jerry Mitchell and his team of judges put the dancers through their paces, challenging them to perform routines in dance styles that were outside their comfort zones.

Each episode of Step It Up And Dance was structured in a way that kept viewers on the edge of their seats. The show began with a group routine that showcased the dancers' skills and gave them an opportunity to impress the judges. Following this, the contestants were each given a specific dance style and were tasked with choreographing and performing their own routines.

In addition to having to impress the judges, the dancers were also given challenges that tested their creativity and ability to adapt to different situations. For example, in one episode, they were asked to incorporate a famous landmark into their routine, while in another, they had to perform while being lifted by bungee cords.

As the season progressed, the competition became more intense, with the judges becoming more critical and demanding. The contestants were eliminated one by one until only three remained. The final episode saw the remaining contestants perform in front of a live audience, with the winner being crowned America's Best Dance Act.

Step It Up And Dance was not just about showcasing the contestants' dance skills, though. The show also delved into their personal lives, revealing their passions, struggles, and triumphs. Viewers got an insight into the ups and downs of the dancers' careers and the sacrifices they had made to pursue their dreams. The show also explored the dynamics between the contestants, revealing the friendships and rivalries that developed over the course of the competition.

Overall, Step It Up And Dance was an exciting and engaging reality show that combined incredible dance performances with gripping drama. With a star-studded panel of judges and a cast of talented and diverse contestants, the show was a must-watch for fans of dance and reality television.
