"DWTS" Week 7 Recap: A Night at the Movies

Any time Mandy Moore does anything, anywhere, it’s bound to be amazing. (I mean, La La Land? “SYTYCD”? You get the picture.) So as very active members of the Mandy Moore fan club, we were beyond excited that she was a guest judge on “Dancing with the Stars” last night—and on “Movie Night,” no less. […]

A Special Day With Tony, Maks and Val

Today’s guest post comes from Francesca Harvey, a student who came to NYC recently with Live! Starring…You!—a pop-culture media organization that trains teen reporters to cover people in the spotlight—for National Entrepreneurship Week. Tony Dovolani and brothers Maksim and Val Chmerkovskiy have been famous in the ballroom world for a long time. It’s only in […]

"DWTS" Week 7: Eras Night

If it wasn’t already clear that a decades theme is never wrong, this week’s “Dancing with the Stars” episode officially proved it. Eras Night was just so fun to watch (the costumes! the stories! the group dances!). The couples performed pieces based on various time periods—from the Roaring Twenties alllll the way to the 90s—and […]

"DWTS" Week 5: Switch-Up Night

Last night’s “Dancing with the Stars” had all the ingredients that make this show so delicious: Minor drama! Major sparkles! Inter-partner flirting that may or may not have been real! (Work that romance angle, Alek Skarlatos and Emma Slater.) Yes, it was switch-up night on “DWTS,” and as usual, the partner swapping generated a flurry […]

Pretty much the entire universe can agree that Mondays are #theworst. But Mondays starting September 14th? Nope, Mondays are gonna be the best. Why? Season 21 (!!!) of Dancing with the Stars! And to get you even more pumped than you already are, the list of returning “DWTS” pros was just announced—it’s as good as it gets, […]

"DWTS" Week 4: Return of the Dancing Crabs

Last night was Disney night on “Dancing with the Stars,” and it left me somewhere between gleeful and totally creeped out. On the gleeful side: DISNEY! So much happiness, so many childhood memories, so many fabulous princess dresses! Just look at all the pretty princess dresses in the opening number! (screenshot from “DWTS”) On the […]

"DWTS" Dynamic Duos: The Good, the Bad and the Awkward

Last night’s “Dancing with the Stars” left much to be desired—namely, a performance longer than 15 seconds from the “DWTS” Pro Troupe Team. Nevertheless, the stars kept things interesting during the “Dynamic Duo” episode, which featured routines channeling the likes of Adam and Eve, Bonnie and Clyde, Lucy and Ricky…you get the picture. It also […]

A Night at the Movies: "DWTS" Week 3 Results

I’m kind of bummed that “Dancing with the Stars” is back to airing just one night a week. Not only are Tuesdays a little sadder when they don’t include Betsey Johnson doing the splits, but the tighter format also means that we see less of the “DWTS” pros and troupe dancers doing their thing in […]
