DWTS: Lights, camera, action!
By Delphine Petruccelli
Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars has been a whirlwind of dazzling performances, surprising eliminations, and unforgettable moments. The new cast of inspiring dancers, athletes, actors, social media celebrities, and singers have brought new air to the show, each with their own connection to dance. These individuals arrive at the ballroom every week and are driven to not only grow as dancers but also as individuals sharing their stories and expressing their innermost emotions through dance.
As the show continues, the level of commitment increases and dancers ramp up their commitment to their practice with “pros.” Each contender's dedication is truly inspiring as they continue to push their limits, overcome challenges, and work harder and harder each week. Through this season viewers have indulged in the connections between the dancers and choreography while witnessing improving technique.
One beloved partnership that the world can't seem to get enough of is the iconic duo of Andy Richter and Emma Slater. A highlight of the season included the beautiful contemporary dance to “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys, which was dedicated to their friendship. Despite being the oldest contender, and arguably not the strongest dancer of this season of DWTS, Richter has truly captured the hearts of fans. It is bonds like these between dancer and pro that continue to hold fans' attention around the world. No matter which character is favored the most, viewers tune in every Wednesday for a night of fun and beautiful ballroom dancing.
A part of the show to remember among the fan base is watching the dancers flourish from week to week. The crowd crazes as they invest their time in a different role every week, and they dive deeper and deeper into the world of ballroom dancing. If you haven't joined the Dancing with the Stars fan base already, it’s never too late! Tune in next Wednesday to witness the magic and inspiring dances that not only light up the ballroom but also the hearts of countless fans.
