I went and looked for that other show. It's apparently a spin off of sorts from AI. It will work the same way.
They've already had two of the three casting calls. Just one is left for June 3 in LA.
Paula would be a great judge for that show.
Cool, thanks. Too bad I have a whole different life now - that would be fun. I'll be watching THAT closely. I hope they get it right. It's hard to find good dancing in movies. Dirty Dancing drove me nuts because the Jennifer Grey character was taught to do Mambo on her toes. Wrong, wrong, wrong. You ruin that great, sexy, earthy body movement of Cuban Motion that way. Gotta dance *into the floor.
On the other hand, Dance With Me with Vanessa Williams was terrific. A minor character was played by Liz Curtis, former seven-time Latin dance champion, and she did tech consulting on the movie as well. The "bad boy", Ruby's ex, was played by Rick Valenzuela, another former national competitor, and he acted pretty well. Most of the couples were real dancers, and the blonde actress from Allie McBeal did a beautiful job.
But, wow. Vanessa Williams can flat-out dance. I was very impressed with how she picked up on the particular sharp, fast-paced Latin style.
As you can tell, I have no opinions on this! :-)
I suspect Paula's gonna be too busy with court and rehab to judge another show :-P
