In the current dance scene, performers contend with choreography that involves extreme dance, multiple techniques, and acrobatic moves, exemplified in the popular reality television show, So You Think You Can Dance. The dilemma for aspiring professionals is that dance class no longer provides sufficient preparation for performing at this level.
