This is Melissa....
Melissa is 29 - old in the dance world - and they call her the "naughty ballerina"! She is a breath of fresh air! As one of the judges said, "some things get better with age" and she certainly did! I have a special love for her because she is a ballerina - my dance genre of choice - but she does so much more! Her pas de duex was absolutely beautiful, her partner Ade is amazingly strong and at the same time graceful - they called him a "gentle giant" and her certainly is that! I hope that they are both around for a long time!

This is Vitolio...
Vitolio is not just an amazing dancer, he is also an amazing young man. His story is truly inspiring - born in Haiti, his mother died when he was 5, raised by his grandmother who was without a job and on his own when he was 15 - and yet, here he his, a self made man following his passion for dance. How can you not love him? And he's good too!

This is Asuka....


I don't like to be negative, but this spicy little ballroom dancer rubs me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, she's a really good dancer, but she works WAY too hard at being sexy. I know there is a definite component of "sexy" in a lot of the latin style dancing, but she takes it way too far, and she continues with it long after the music stops. She is young, I know, but she needs to realize that she doesn't need to play the "sexy card" to draw attention to her talent. It makes me sad, I hope that the judges (or somebody else) clues her in.
Anyway, not to end on a negative note. The performances on wednesday we FABULOUS! I think that at least 10 of the 12 couples were amazing and the other 2 couples weren't shabby, just not phenomenal. What a great beginning to the season! I can hardly wait to see what they come up with next week!
