"Subject:ABC Casting CallFrom:"JILL WHIDBY" Date:Fri, 3 Aug 2007 15:34:57 -0700To:[email protected] Hello, My name is Jill Whidby and I am currently casting for a brand new ABCprime-time dance series. "Dancing With The Stars" judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioliwill put their reputations on the line as they battle it out across the dance floor to create the ultimate dance group. We will begin scouring the nation for the hottest amateur dance talent in September. I would love be able to offer this opportunity to your students and your competition winners. ALL styles of dance are welcome and all dancers must be at least 18 years of age. We will be holding opencalls in three major cities across the US. All of these auditions will be filmed for the series and will be held in a very visual, funand exciting location. We are currently finalizing the details of each audition location and time. I have attached one of our fliers listing the three audition cities and dates. Continue to check www.myspace.com/carrieannvsbruno for updated information. Please let me know if there is a way we can work together to make sure you and your students are included in this search for America's most talented dancers. Thank you and I look forward to talking with you soon, Jill WhidbyBBCCasting AssociateUntitled Dance Show ("Series")818.299.9702 (o)[email protected]/carrieannvsbrunoLoading...
 
I think this might be in addition to DWTS and more to be in direct competition with SYTYCD. I heard that the pros of DWTS will be finding out who their stars for the upcoming season will be mid August.

Do we know if all the same pros are coming back? And is it supposed to resume in September?

Last I heard it's likely the same pros, with some variation. They don't make final decisions on all the pros until they see what stars they get, as they try to match them (though what their criteria are for matching, I'm not sure). Two pros here signed two year contracts with DWTS last fall, so far Jesse was on once for season 3, and they haven't had Jackie on either season. So they have more pros under contract than they actually use.

Don't know which pros are coming back. I did read on Edyta and Alec's message board that they are coming back and it is supposed to resume September 24.
 
Is that where the e-mail originated?

I'm just curious. Seems odd to have a myspace promote it, for the pictures to all be hosted at photobucket (including the ABC logos) and for that e-mail to be gmail.

Interesting, thanks. I think I read on Max's forum (he posted himself) that he was likely to continue, too.
