Big Rumors for Dancing With the Stars Season 11!

August 19, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
Ok, the rumors are starting to fly for season 11 of Dancing With the Stars. The full cast will be revealed in under two weeks, Monday August 30th on ABC. Here’s a few of the rumors that I found on the “intranets” over the past couple of days: 1. Newly engaged Bachelorette stars Ali and Roberto: They deny it and I certainly hope so. I don’t watch the Bachelorette and I’m not interested in them. 2. Jersey Shore’s The Situation: Um…who? The only one I know is Snookie, and I can’t stand her. Although he would fill the “funny/oddball/comedian” slot. 3. Former NFL ...

Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Cast Announcements

August 6, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
Oh YES! It is time once again for the fall season of Dancing With the Stars, and watching the great journeys of some who don’t know how to put one foot in front of the other, and some that do. Looks like ABC will again be using cross promotion for the announcements in order to get the most coverage, and announcing on the season finale of The Bachelorette (ugh. Sorry Bachelor/ette fans). That means I actually have to watch it. OR–just check in with my east-coast gals on ravelry.com (the lovely ladies on the Dancing With the Stars Group) to get ...

Redemptions and Freestyles on Dancing With the Stars FINALS!!

May 25, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
Finals night came in the blink of an eye on Dancing With the Stars last night. In fact, I was in the middle of a rousing rendition of “Ring My Bell” from the Wii game Just Dance with my family (we’re at a reunion) when I panicked and realized I was missing the show (DVR, I love you). For the finals this year the stars need to perform an unprecedented FOUR dances (two on Monday, two on Tuesday). Tonight they must do a Redemption Dance, where they will attempt to redeem themselves for a dance the judges say they should have ...

Dancing With the Stars Semi-Finals!

May 18, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
There are only four couples left in season 10 of Dancing With the Stars: Erin and Maks, Cheryl and Chad, Evan and Anna and Nicole and Derek. I was very sad to see Niecy go, as she was definitely the highlight of this season and really fun to watch crack jokes. But onward! Last night there were two rounds, the Ballroom Round and the Latin Round. In the Latin Round, each star will be doing their own solo! This is always fun to watch to see if they can really let go and get loose in the face of live TV ...

The Road to the Semi-Finals on Dancing With the Stars

May 11, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
Five couples are left on Season 10 of Dancing With the Stars: Niecy and Louis Nicole and Derek Evan and Anna Erin and Maks Chad and Cheryl Three couples stand out (ability-wise) as shoo-ins for the semis: Nicole and Derek Evan and Anna Erin and Maks It is really up in the air for the last spot. Who will survive the cut tomorrow night? As much as I love Niecy, she may just not make it based on her performances. Chad as well. BUT–who knows?? Last season I wished and hoped (and voted) and got my “dream finals”. Anything can happen with a big enough fan base holding their ...

Team GaGa vs. Team Madonna on Dancing With the Stars

May 3, 2010 · Posted by This Momma Can Dance ·
I have to say, this was a pretty darn exciting night on Dancing With the Stars–and the Finals are only three weeks away! This week along with their individual dances the stars and their partners had to team up for the “Cha Cha Challenge” and put together group dances to wow the audiences and get an extra possible 30 points to add to their score. Erin and Maks are up first with a pretty fancy and cute quickstep–in hot pink, no less. Her dress looked pretty dazzling. Oh, and Maks always looks fiiiiine. Their quickstep was fun and engaging, this is ...

DANCING WITH THE STARS MOVIE NIGHT

April 20, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
Here are my thoughts on this week’s Dancing with the Stars. I was going to post a video of Tiler Peck for all the Huffington Post readers who’ve never heard of her, since she was seen so little on last week’s results show, but sadly — shamefully really — except for a couple of rehearsal videos from last year’s Vail Dance Festival, there are virtually no videos of her on YouTube other than last week’s DWTS.
