Did the Stars on DWTS pull off learning 2 dances this week?

We watched Tuesday night’s DWTS episode where the dancers were required to perform a second dance this week.  However the highlight for us was the snippets we learned about the professional dancers.  Who would have enjoyed watching an hour learning more about Derek, Anna, Val, Louis and all other other professionals on DWTS rather than watching 2 hours of dancing this week?

Week #2 of Dancing With the Stars!

Did you watch last night’s episode?  Why does Derek get above average dancers each season?  Why is it necessary to make reference to people’s figures instead of their dancing? Did you feel that some of the dancers improved?   Watch our video to hear our thoughts.  Share your comments about the episode with us as well.

Welcome to Our Review of Fall 2015’s Dancing With the Stars!

As you may recall from last season, each week we review the previous night’s Dancing with the Stars episode. As you know last night (Monday) was this season’s (season 21) first episode with the new cast of stars from youth conservationist Bindi Irwin to horse jockey Victor Espinoza  and chef Paula Deen to Chaka Kahn to internet sensation Hayes Grier to Carlos and Alexa Penavega, just to name of few.  There are 13 “Stars” this season, each of whom is paired with a professional ballroom dancer and choreographer.  Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, and Val Chmerkovskiy as well as Allison Holker, Anna Trebunskaya and Sharna Burgess and 7 other professional dancers join the cast.  We hope you will tune in each Tuesday after you have watched the DWTS episode to hear our review.  Please feel free to share your thoughts on how the dancers, choreographers and judges performed as well.

It’s Time to Dance!

There is such a broad spectrum of music in our world — jazz, pop, classical, reggae, country, opera and rap (and many more)– and it is constantly be shaped and reshaped.  It is not uncommon to find rap sequences in r & b or even rap in an otherwise “easy listening” song.  Likewise, dance styles must grow and expand with the music.  Renee is always willing to challenge herself to choreograph to current music as well as the old standards.

We thought we would go back to our Tappin Duo roots and share some of Renee’s brilliant choreography to Pitbull’s Fireball.  Enjoy!!!

So You Think You Can Dance Eliminates 2!

Have you watched last night’s episode of SYTYCD?  The choreography was wonderful and the dancers worked hard.  Ballet Dancer Jim was able to get down and hip hop with street dancer JaJa.  We sure hope that next week’s episode pushes all the dancers outside of their comfort zone, not just Jim.  The street and stage dancers executed the intricacies of each of the closing numbers beautifully.   Congratulations to all dancers.  We are sorry to see Lilly leave so soon.  Best of luck to both Lilly and Darian.

Street vs. Stage: Who’s Ready for So You Think You Can Dance?

Hi Everyone.  As you know, a new season of SYTYCD starts tonight on FOX.  This season will be a little different because the dancers will have to decide if they are competing as Team Street coached by Twitch or Team Stage coached by Travis. Nigel Lithgow, Paula Abdul and Jason DeRulo are the judges for this season.

Frustration, Frustration, Frustration……DTWS..

Have you been watching Dancing With the Stars?  We have.  For those who don”t know we have been making weekly videos recapping the shows and offering our opinions on the dancing and choreography.  We are in week 9 and thoroughly frustrated with the shows slow progression in coming to some sort of finale.  Renee quite frankly does not understand why why why we have to see two hours of DWTS.   LIsa feels it’s 3 flippin’ hours — 2 on Monday and 1 on Tuesday –for less than a half hour of actual dancing.

Here we recap last night’s elimination show.  Riker was the only one safe last night.  Watch our video and feel free to give us your comments.  Remember, next week is the finale.  Who will win? Rumer Willis? Riker Lynch? Noah Galloway?
