Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2024

Knowing that Chandler was taught by Debbie Allen changes how I watch her dancing now. Carrie Ann mentioning how great her technique is, I think, "Well of course. Debbie wouldn't let any student in her class be slouches."

I thought the same thing!

Here. Stephen did a lot better! I didn’t see a lot of stiffness, but I did see where her got off the beat midway through.

Joey - great leg action! I really loved it.

I’ve become a Joey fan this season.

Danny got Stephen’s stiffness. It was awkward. Here, I was thinking that Witney would pull out great choreography to snatch the mirror ball from the two women.

 

[AustinTink]

Oh, Reginald. I kind of forgot about him. When his bit came on, my kid said why is that old man just standing there? I said that’s pretty much what he did during his time on the show.

It’s possible someone like Derek could have broken through that wall of stiffness with Stephen.

I don't think it's just the stiffness. I don't think Stephen was taught to feel the music.

There is this scene is Dirty Dancing where Johnny puts Baby's hand on his chest and makes her feel the beat of the music. The real beat. The feeling. It's not about the choreography.

Love that movie and that scene.

He actually kind of walked in place a few times during the show. Now, he just stood there. I wonder if he's gotten worse physically, or did Emma just not even have him try?

 

[robinb]

Ilona - that was really good! They did mess around a bit at the start but she was great once they started going.

 

[Imzadi]

That was some intense "Man-go." It was kind of like musical wresting, with a lot more grace.

So, 40 year old Sasha is really dating 27 year old Jenn? Or was it just a showmance?

I think it’s just for show.

 

[Imzadi]

There it is! That's what has been missing by Stephen all this time. We were missing HIM! He's now in his element. He's with his homies. And he brought HIMSELF to the dance and yes, he was naturally musical and athletic and graceful at the same time. Way to go, Stephen!

I think it's just showmance.

Chandler - that was so awesome. Very professional.

WTH? Carrie Ann said she had the most challenging season? Pffft.

Derek and Maks would have done it for me. Just sayin’ ;-)

 

[robinb]

No comments on the tango? I liked it! It was fun seeing them change leads. And yeah … it was hot.

Edited, I see @Imzadi commented.

Having them there brought out something else entirely in him. I loved it.

I’d watch MMMaks dance with a broom, lol.
