Holly Sorensen is the creator and showrunner of “Step Up: High Water,” debuting on YouTube Red on January 31. The series is based on the popular dance film franchise "Step Up." Sorensen sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about the reboot and her decision to hire a mostly female crew.
The show is YouTube Red’s highest budgeted project. It stars Ne-Yo and Naya Rivera but also features many unknown dancers from the community. The 10-episode drama focuses on several ambitious young dancers in a contemporary performing-arts school in Atlanta.
Sorensen talks about how she wanted to make sure the show touched on real issues surrounding diversity and relationships, along with the talented dancing featured in the series. She also talks about the importance of hiring a diverse group of writers and why she wanted to employ many women on the series. The series is available to binge watch on January 31 on YouTube Red.
