Sean "Diddy" Combs� Bad Boy Entertainment And MTV Announce Dance Competition Project As Part Of First-Look Production Agreement

Dance Competition Pilot To Spotlight Street Dance Troupes Across the Country

New York, NY � May 24, 2006 � Sean �Diddy� Combs� Bad Boy Entertainment and MTV: Music Television today announced a pilot agreement for an untitled dance competition series.
