In season’s past, the Dancing With the Stars, “Most Memorable Year” episode has been really dramatic and featured heartfelt performances. Tonight, each couple will perform to a song that encompasses an unforgettable time, or truly incredible experience in their life. It’s a night we expect lots of tears in the crowd and lots of high scores from the judges.

Interview: Dancing With The Stars Pro Derek Hough

Derek Hough has been a fixture on Dancing With The Stars since he joined the cast in season 5.  Since then, he and his dance partners have won the competition five times, he’s choreographed some of the show’s most memorable dances and he’s won an Emmy. This season, Derek faces his biggest challenge yet — he’s dancing on DWTS on Mondays and then flying back to the big apple where he performs ten shows per week in the New York Spring Spectacular featuring the world famous Rockettes. On the day that I interviewed Derek — just after the season premiere — he’d appeared […]

Recap Dancing With the Stars, “Latin Night” Season 20, Episode 3.

It’s one of the hottest weeks of the season, where everyone feels a little steamy and the dances get a bit naughty. Practice trilling your “r”s, because it’s Dancing With the Stars, “Latin Night.” After an opening number choreographed by Mandy Moore (not the singer/actress, the award-winning choreographer), the teams get to work performing either a Samba, Rumba, Salsa, Argentine Tango, Paso Doble or Cha Cha as they compete for America’s votes. Last week, Redfoo and his partner Emma Slator were the first couple eliminated in the competition.  Do you think they deserved to go home first? I would have […]

7 Questions With… Derek Hough of Dancing With The Stars

Recap: Dancing With The Stars Season 20, Episode 2

It’s #myjammonday on Dancing with the Stars where celebs dance to their favorite songs. Each couple will perform the Cha Cha, Salsa, Rumba or Argentine Tango in hopes of wooing America and earning their votes. At the end of the night, one couple will be eliminated from the competition.   I thought that each of last week’s competitors showed promise, and while Charlotte McKinney and Redfoo had the lowest scores form the judges, each showed a lot of pluck and promise and could definitely shine with music of their own choosing. Chris Soules & Witney Carson 1-855-234-5602 Dancing a Cha […]

Recap: Dancing With The Stars Season 20, Episode 1

So is anyone of the opinion that they should just hand the mirror ball trophy over to Nastia and Derek? I mean c’mon … Olympic champion!!! So she’s basically the most graceful, flexible and super-humanly strong woman on the planet. Derek wasn’t announced as a returning pro when the Dancing With the Stars Season 20 list of pro-dancers was first announced on Feb. 12 (and season 19 rookie pro Keo Motsepe was a late addition too), did Derek hold out until he was guaranteed the woman — who on paper at least — is the best dancer? I can’t wait […]

Recap: Dancing With The Stars Season 19 Finale, Part 2

Tonight’s season finale kicked off with Dancing with the Stars: Road to the Finals a one hour special that chronicled the journey of the three remaining couples. The highlight of the hour showed fun facts about the season like “#dwts fun fact … Alfonso is an avid race car driver.” And “#dwts fun fact… Janel has 17 tattoos.” But other than that, the hour was basically a rehashing of many of the production packages that were shown earlier in the season and remembering “The Journey.” It was basically an hour of wasted time that probably made East Coast parents curse […]
