Breaking: Bravo's new dance-related reality show extravaganza will be gay-inclusive

Okay, who are we kidding? When Unofficial Gay Network Bravo announced the latest addition to their ever-expanding lineup of gay vocation-related reality competitions, we knew to batten down the hatches for a tidal wave of gay once more details became available.

Sure enough, Gay it Up Step It Up & Dance looks to be the heir apparent of Bravo's "gayest ever" crown, which has been passed around amongst Project Runway, Top Chef, Top Design, Shear Genius, and Make Me a Supermodel like ... well, let's just say it's been passed around.

Out choreographer Jerry Mitchell (pictured above in prime lithe form) is the ringmaster, and a few of the contestants are also card-carrying gays. And if that weren't enough, Nomi Malone herself, Elizabeth Berkley, will be the host (please please PLEASE tell me she's going to recreate some of her greatest Showgirls moments! "Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!").

We've gotten a hold of pics of the gay fellas, Michael, Oscar, Miguel and James, and posted them below. The 12 dancers will step it up on Thursday April 3rd, and we'll be there for every step-ball-change.

Michael, 25, Los Angeles

Oscar, 31, New York

James, 23, Charlotte, N.C.

Miguel, 24, Delano, CA

Mentor Jerry Mitchell

    I didn't get that gene

    As much as I enjoy watching dance I have to admit that I have no skills what so ever for it. I'm completely a rhythmical . (Is that even a word?)

    One the few occasions that someone has persuaded me to dance people have come up later and asked me if I was all right.  I think they were afraid I'd had some sort of seizure. 

    And isn't Jerry Mitchell just the cutest thing ever? You just know that Oscar guy will be the one who's all into himself.

     Maybe I'll use this program to venture my way into reality television.

     Don't trouble yourself Doctor -- I'm a celebrity, I'll write my own prescription.

    Oscar is the only

    Oscar is the only attractive one, to be honest. Anyway, I dont think I'm gonna be watching this show. Dance reality shows have completely got me drained.
