she paints them all with the same brush - if you're not strong, throwing yourself all over the place, she doesn't like it. She wouldn't like a tentative male dancer either (not that I think that Branden isn't strong)

I still remember how mean she was to poor Heidi in Season 2. Now, Heidi was not my favorite dancer, but I thougth Mia was going to make the girl have a nervous breakdown. I think the woman is amazingly talented, but I find all the other parts of her aside from the great choreography to be for the most part insufferable.

Adam didn't specifically mention anything about the Mia/Brandon drama. he just mentioned to Nigel that they didn't show half of the drama that went down period.
he also said he doesn't know if he'll get to choreo this season because he's working on four movies (going the distance, the lady song, and step up 3D, plus bye bye birdie, Bon the musical, and sinbad the lost voyage according to his twitter).

I only knew about Step Up 3D, which will have to really bring it if it wants to top the brilliance that was Step Up 2 the Streets (one of the best final dance sequences ever!) but Bye Bye Birdie? Ooh. That's fun. And what is Bon, The Musical?

huh. also from imdb.
While a guest on NPR's "Fresh Air With Terry Gross" in July 2007, Shankman revealed to Gross that he did not start dancing until he was 18, which is very late for someone who intends to become a professional dancer. Furthermore, once he decided to become a dancer, he auditioned for college dance programs all over the country, including NYU, North Carolina, and Julliard (the most prestigious and selective dance program in the United States), and he got into all of them without ever once having taken a dance class.
that's awesome. he was destined to be a dancer.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that is super late. Interesting.
Bon the musical: A singing dancing lawyer finds love with a philosopher, together they fight crime? Hee.
Yeah, I agree that Mia has her own personal vision of dance and the contestants must fit into it or die. She's like the opposite of Alex with his passion for all genres.
Needing everyone to be strong is such a fail for me. Strong dancers are awesome, don't get me wrong. But what about grace, elegance, passion? Strength just isn't the whole picture.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
what moves you when you see dancing? that could be any number of things. Mia needs to get off her high horse.

Wow, that is CRAZY about Shankman and his late entry to dance! I'm so jealous. And...Step up *3D*?!!? Seriously? As in...wearing glasses so that the dancers POP OUT AT ME? Omg, the ultimate in cheese! I can't wait.
Also can't wait to get home and watch tonight, but am LIVING IN FEAR that the digital TV transition is going to rob me of the ability to use my TiVo, and cause me to miss half the dancing this year. EEEK!
