Sometimes I count, sometimes I don't. If it's a song I really "feel" counting isn't necessary, and I think my dancing is better because I'm thinking...
Count me in (#23) - it's my favorite
Yeah, I had a beef about that comment too. I think Stacy may be a better PERFORMER than some of the pros, but that has little to do with...
I think one of the most difficult things (speaking as a follow, but this is probably true for leads also) is adapting from lead to lead - some are...
I'm 20 days away from giving birth to my second baby, and my last dance was New Year's Eve. I danced up through eight months with my first. My...
