“DWTS” Week 6 Recap: What’s Scarier Than an Onstage Injury?

We absolutely love Halloween on Dancing with the Stars. After all, what could be better than seeing our stars and pros get into the holiday spirit with the spookiest performances of the season? Zombies and harpies and werewolves…oh, my! Last night’s episode was pretty frightening. We saw one of our stars get injured in the […]

“DWTS” Week 2 Recap: Latin Night Turns Up the Heat

Things heated up last night on “Dancing with the Stars.” And, no, the air-conditioning on set didn’t break—it was Latin Night, and all of the stars and the pros brought their hottest, spiciest best to the ballroom. Of course, the “DWTS” drama also heated up. Is it just us, or has this season been—say it […]

"DWTS" Week 11 Recap: And the Winner Is…

Y’all, this season of “Dancing with the Stars” was truly one for the books. And not just because the “DWTS” team managed to pull off a reality TV show in the midst of a global pandemic, but because the dancing was truly some of the best we’ve ever seen. Like, “We went into the finale […]

"DWTS" Week 10 Recap: Double (Elimination) Trouble

We’d like to take a brief moment of silence for the fact that we made it to the semi-finals of this season of “Dancing with the Stars” without a single coronavirus case. The producers of a television dance competition really do have a better handle on this whole “pandemic” thing than some world leaders do, […]

"DWTS" Week 9 Recap: Lowkey Iconic

Pretty much every episode of “Dancing with the Stars” is fully stocked with pop culture icons (you say b-list celebs, I say icons—tomato, tomahto). But this week, “DWTS” took it up a notch with “Icons Night,” celebrating musical icons, from Freddie Mercury to Amy Winehouse. And the results were lowkey iconic. But in case you […]

"DWTS" Week 7 Recap: Who's the Real Villain?

Though we hate to question a “Dancing with the Stars” theme night, we have to ask: Is this really a year where anyone is craving more villainy? More scary stuff? More heart-racing television? Frankly, we would’ve been fine if “DWTS” had chosen to skip Halloween altogether this season. We’ve had enough masks already this year. […]

You've Never Seen Ballroom Like This Before

I have a bit of a ballroom problem. OK: a MAJOR ballroom problem. I’m obsessed with high-level ballroom dancing. It’s so exacting, so technical—and, in the hands (and feet) of the right dancers, so full of passion and genuine feeling. But, yes—sometimes the ballroom world’s self-tanner and sequins and hair gel can be a little…off-putting. […]

A Perfect Match?

Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov at the U.S. National Amateur Dancesport Nationals in March (courtesy Karagach) When a 15-year-old Daniella Karagach was first paired up with a 22-year-old Pasha Pashkov, she had her doubts. “My coaches warned me that because I was so young and he was a top dancer in the finals already, people […]
