Dance Life- fake drama or true-to-life portrayal?

The new MTV show Dancelife, premiered this past Monday. Jennifer Lopez is the executive producer of this show which is described on the MTV Web site as "a series about the real world of dancers working to make in Hollywood."
From what I saw, it is another guilty pleasure about good-looking (in the eyes of some), wealthy, Caucasian young adults. Sounds like every other show on television from The O.C. to Laguna Beach to One Tree Hill. The only difference between those shows and Dancelife, a first-person look into the "grueling" audition process.
The show follows six dancers who live in Hollywood and moved there for the sole purpose of trying to make it as a dancer. Jersey, an Italian brunette from New Jersey (the irony hurts right now) deals with car trouble and being homesick, but if she were that determined wouldn't she be having the time of her life and trying to dance at every opportunity?
I would think so, and after missing the J.Lo audition and a tearful call home to her mom, Jersey heads to the dance studio for a "release." It seems to work as she emerges happier and determined after improv-ing (freestyle dancing that is not choreographed ahead of time) at the local studio.
But in the real world, would she really have access to an empty studio when she is not employed and struggling to make it? Thanks to the help of MTV of course she has carte blanche to a massive and beautiful studio with perfect lighting, and a make-up crew to make her look picture perfect.
For a reality show, Dancelife tends to fall on the overly dramatic and fake side with unbelievable situations.
But don't get me wrong, not everything about the show is bad. The dancers are PHENOMENAL! And the commercials for future episodes show dancers dealing with more rejection, part-time jobs that pay the rent, and eviction notices (so much for those rent-paying jobs).

Plus, the sentiment of a true dancer is there: no matter the heartache, the rejection or injury, the love of dance will sustain you and fulfill a lot of joy in life. Thanks J.Lo.

Catch the show on Mondays at 10:30 pm EST on MTV.
