HSM 3 Dance!

Chucky Klapow choreographed the dance moves for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," scheduled for release in theaters in October. He gave us a sneak peek behind the curtain of the surefire box-office hit:

On Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella): "Vanessa is the most naturally gifted in picking up the new moves.

"Things come really easily for her, so she gets lazy with it because she has to wait for the others to catch on. I have to be like, 'Vanessa, let's get working here.'"

On Corbin Bleu (Chad): "Corbin is also a gifted dancer, and he comes from a performing arts background, so he picks things up fast."

On raising the bar: "We only had 10 full days of dancing rehearsal for the first film -- I have no idea how we actually did it! The second movie we took three weeks to do the dancing, and right now we are in the middle of five full weeks of dance rehearsal. This cast is so dedicated and talented. We all raised the bar for 'HSM 2,' now we need to go back to that iconic, basic movement that made the first movie so great."
