The "DWTS" All-Athletes Cast Is Kind of Epic

Team USA is totally taking over “Dancing with the Stars” this season! Casting for the upcoming athletes-only “DWTS” cycle, which kicks off April 30, was just announced. And the roster includes a whole bunch of Olympic favorites—including not one, not two, but three figure-skating standouts. Look, OK: we know everyone’s going to be talking about […]

The Many Facets of Dancer and Choreographer Kate Harpootlian

With several Shaping Sound tours and TV credits like “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and “Boardwalk Empire” to her name, you wouldn’t expect Kate Harpootlian to be refreshingly down-to-earth. But that’s exactly how she is: As soon as you start talking to the gifted dancer and choreographer, it becomes clear […]

Maks & Val & Peta, Oh My! Their Tour Starts Tomorrow

And as if this terrific trio weren’t enough, “SYTYCD” finalists Koine “Koko” Iwasaki and Chris “Kiki” Nyemchek will be there, too! Starting tomorrow night in Springfield, MO, and reaching 47 more cities before a grand finale in Las Vegas, NV, this quintet of dance-on-TV royalty (plus seven more of L.A.’s best dancers, nbd) promise a […]

"DWTS" Finale Recap: And the Mirrorball Trophy Goes To…

What a week in the “Dancing with the Stars” universe, amirite?

This week, the contestants were put to the test with two routines: one required the pros to choreograph a dance to a song that they […]

"DWTS" Week 9 Recap: It Takes Three, Baby

We’ll be honest: After 25[,000,000] seasons, we didn’t think “Dancing with the Stars” had any more tricks up its sequined sleeves. But then, last night, the show snapped us out of our spray-tan-fume–induced stupor by bringing back some of our favorite alums for the trio round. Another chance to see Laurie Hernandez and Alfonso Ribeiro […]

"DWTS" Week 7 Recap: This Is Halloween

“Dancing with the Stars” was basically designed for Halloween episodes, what with its emphasis on stage fog and amazing-bordering-on-insane costumes. But while we were expecting lots of delectable treats from last night’s Halloween spooktacular—including the first round of team dances, always a good time—we weren’t expecting the ep’s final trick: a double elimination that actually […]
