Disclosure: My childhood nickname was Twinkletoes. This was because I was always dancing/walking/running on tiptoe because I wanted to be a ballerina.
So, it's probably no surprise that I just love watching Dancing With The Stars! I was a huge fan of Apollo Anton Ono, when he was on. And now, I am definitely hoping Kristi Yamiguchi will be the ultimate winner. She is such an incredible dancer...not surprising, given her prowess as a skater.
I also have to admit that I love watching Marissa and Tony dance. Marissa is so full of enthusiasm and verve, and Tony is such a great dancer that he is incredible to watch.
I always went to dances in high school, and loved going out disco-ing when I was in college and in my 20's. I would love to do some ballroom dancing, but I just don't think John would be into it. So, the next best thing is dancing vicariously with my 'stars' on Monday nights.
I have to go off and vote for my faves on the ABC website.
Other than dancing around the house :), I haven't gone dancing in ages, though I've never exactly 'tripped the light fantastic,' (mostly just tripped :), I do love to dance, and have always enjoyed watching others dance - love musicals. I haven't been watching the show this season, but I've enjoyed seeing it in the past. I didn't know Kristi Yamiguchi was one of the competitors this season. I can imagine she would have quite an edge, given her figure skating background!

too fun! I haven't watched it, but I am considering signing up for a bellydancing class this summer---- hmm, that's a whole differnt kettle of dancing fish, though, isn't it?

I LOVE dance shows. I'm always so amazed by dancers. Our favorite summertime show is "So You Think You Can Dance." It starts next week. Sydney and I can't wait!

I sang more than I danced, but love watching any show that showcases people's talents. (wish I had some)

Just like you, I danced all the time when I was young. I enjoy watching just about any kind of dance competition. I hope you can get John to try a ballroom dance class. It would be fun (at least for you!) I was thinking just the other day, that it seems like forever since I've actually danced. What happens when we get a bit older? Why don't we dance?
