Over the past years, we have seen an onslaught of elimination dance shows.  It seems every channel has created its own version to appeal to their demographic.  In an age that seems to have been taken over by reality television, it is no surprise that dance has nestled itself comfortably into the genre.  The public has always been somewhat fascinated with dance.  We can see it manifested in the clothing we wear and the movies teens flock to see. With a reality show based on every other profession, however obscure, I have always been a little surprised there isn't one dedicated dance.  It may just be that dancers or performers do not want a camera following them around day in and out, or perhaps, their daily lives lack the excessive drama needed to sustain viewers from week to week.

In a Washington Post interview in late August with choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, the writer's final question struck an interesting note.  She asked would Wheeldon ever consider a reality show about his company Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company?  He replied that he met with Bravo (the king of reality shows), but they slowly lost interest after discovering there would not be enough contention between the dancers.
