Popstars
Popstars Dance Company is a German dance group, that was cast in the sixth season of Popstars, simultaneously with the band Room2012. This is the first time where other talents were cast in Popstars. The dancers had to show innovative dance styles and perform together with the singers although they often had training without them. The final of the dancers was held on 8 November 2007, almost a month before the singers of Room2012 were announced (on 6 December).
