We’ve said it once, we’ve said it twice, we’ve said it countless times: Derek Hough is beyond amazing. And last night’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars” really let his star-power shine. Hough got together with “So You Think You Can Dance” choreographer Christopher Scott to create the “Macy’s Stars of Dance” performance—a tribute to […]
Confession: Much to my sweet, sweet grandmother’s dismay, I am not a diehard “Dancing with the Stars” fan. I absolutely adore the pros on the show—they’re so super talented and it’s amazing that every week they not only choreograph and perform their routines, but they’re also each responsible for teaching their non-dancer partner how to […]
Here at DS, we’re all about sibling success: the DelGrosso sisters, the Fairchilds, Les Twins, the Cirios…the list goes on.

“Dancing with the Stars” announced its cast for Season 18 earlier this morning, and holy moly we’re excited. Not only did our suspicions about Olympians competing for the mirror ball trophy come true, but the list of athletes involved is even better than we had hoped. Charlie White and Meryl Davis sport their gold medals […]
We are obviously partial to any Olympic sport with “dance” in its name—which means we’re always eager to watch ice dancing. First of all, ice dancers are beautiful movers and performers, which, yay. And despite the extreme difficulty of what they do, the fact that they don’t have to include any oh-my-god-please-don’t-die throws and jumps […]
When Brilynn Rakes was two months old, her parents noticed something different about her eyes: They were constantly shaking back and forth. An eye doctor diagnosed her with nystagmus, a rare condition that meant she had little control over her eye muscles. Nystagmus is also known as “dancing eyes”—which is fitting because, despite being legally […]
If you’re like me, you were really, really sad for the first half of last night’s Emmy Awards. Song-and-dance king Neil Patrick Harris was hosting, and we’d been promised big, dance-y things. But for more than an hour there was nary a dancer in sight. Then came the middle of the show. And there was […]
