The reality craze is everywhere! I can honestly say we have had a blast with our reality show and I hope you have enjoyed it. As we work with these shows, I can see how scripted "reality" television can be. We do not script and do not retake.....we show what we get.
So much of regular reality television has to be scripted......there are too many situations that follow a cohesive plot and storyline. Cohesive has been the key word with our show. "Cohesive" for us means that we are a dance group preparing for a show and we support different activities in each other's lives. We are a tight group that dance and we are friends. That is the only cohesion we can really have without scripting story lines.
Our conversations are real and we do not try to add characters to our existing personalities. I can see why reality shows fall into the category game of the "sweet girl" "bitchy girl" "overbearing jerk" "white knight".
If any of us appear in these roles, that is just because that is who we are. There are many outtakes and honestly many situations that we do not include. We have personal things in our lives and personal situations that we cannot and will not include in the show. Some things will stay within the VP family.
With that, we do hope you are enjoying the glimpse of our lives and we want you to feel like you are a part of the group! We you attend the December 18 show at the Mcwance Science Center (shameless plug) we hope you followed the show in a way to where you feel like you know where the ideas for the dances came from, know the people's inspirations, and know the laughter we had putting them together.
We would love to hear your feedback for what things you would like to be on the reality show!
Businesses! If you are interested in a sponsor package for the Dec 18 show, we will list you for free as a sponsor on the web show! We can even film on site at your location!
We hope to see you at class this week. This Thursday we are teaching Rumba and Samba, two of my favorites. We will hang out this weekend at the Birmingham Ballroom Dance Association's "A Dance to Remember" charity event and we hope to see you there. Visit www.bhamdance.com for details!
