Go Behind the Scenes with Dance War

Have any of you been watching Dance War? The Dancing with the Stars spinoff pits teams of singers and dancers — coached by DwtS judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli — against each other as they perform production numbers that then get judged by viewers each Monday night. It's sort of like a high school talent show, but with higher stakes, more talent, and a national audience.

The show isn't quite the hit that DwtS is, but it's been getting respectable numbers of viewers, typically between 9 and 10 million people per week. Having seen the grueling schedules for American Idol singers and So You Think You Can Dance dancers over the years, I'm just impressed that the contestants manage learn both singing and dancing parts each week without keeling over. How do they do it? One of the contestants, Zack (that's him in the photo above), explains the process in a behind-the-scenes video, and you can check it out if you read more.
