The question of the week: Do you like having Contemporary on the first week of DWTS or do you think it should be traditional ballroom?
Google Hangout: Let me know if you are interested in doing a Google Hangout about the Broadway documentary Every Little Step. If 10 or more people say "yes," then I will make that happen!

I totally agree about contemporary (and jazz). I like that they added it in because it broadens the show up, but I wish they'd wait until like week 3 to do it. Learning one of those styles is SO different from ballroom and if they're spending those first 3 weeks before the show starts on contemp, are they going to be very unprepared for week 2 when ballroom hits for the rest of the show?
ReplyDeleteand yes! I'm 100% in for the google hangout. Let me know where I can get the doc to watch and I will :)
Awesome on the Google Hangout! I know Amazon has the streaming version of the doc. I want to give you guys a few weeks to watch it. I will schedule a date after this crazy week...DWTS and Emmys!
DeleteI really don't like contemporary being apart of the first few weeks , I prefer that they stick with ballroom dances. If they want to diversify the dances during the first week I think they should have the couples do salsa, cha cha , foxtrot or viennese walt for their first dance.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a lot of you agree. It will be interesting to see if Contemporary fits better this year in Week 1.

DeleteThis season contemporary in the first week might be okay because I think each of the couples can handle it..ie. Christina/Mark, Elizabeth/Val and Corbin/Karina. But each season is relative. I remember last season some of the contemporary just didn't fit. I remember thinking that watching Kym & Ingo and was like....."why...why...why???"
ReplyDeleteOverall I agree with you that if they insist on having it..it should be later on. You have to have some sort of emotion connection to really sell a contemporary number. Other dance styles you can fake...but not so much with this dance style. I think it's hard to have an emotional connection to portray this dance style in the first week. Maybe a certain level of trust and vulnerability that might not be there very early in a dance partnership.
