SixShot.com has a really outstanding interview with choreographer Dave Scott:

What can we expect from the upcoming project you helped choreograph, Step Up 2 The Streets?

This movie stems from Step Up. In that one it was a hip-hop kid coming to a technically trained studio and trying to bring hip-hop to the school. In this one it’s reversed—they’re trying to get street credibility coming from that school. So it tells a different story on the urban edge. The dancing got to be a lot more creative because I got a chance to use some of these technically trained dancers, on top of b-boys, on top of hip-hop, and take it to the next page on a whole hip-hop level.

What do you know about dance on TV?

I watched the June Taylor Dancers on The Lawrence Welk Show with my grandmother. Taylor was an early dance-on-TV pioneer.
