TUNE IN TONIGHT (4/24) at 8/7c on ABC for the EPIC Dancing with the Stars Boy Band/Girl Band Battle!
Anyone who knows me knows that I have the rhythm and coordination of a newborn calf. Not sure how to move, my legs not cooperating with my arms, and a complete sense of “I have no idea what I am doing”. But luckily I was able to keep up (kinda) with the amazing dancers from ABC’s Dancing with the Stars when I visited their rehearsal studio.
Things got real. But they also got real fun! Promise not to laugh. (ok you can laugh…)
Brittany Cherry was my instructor. She is a sweet and teeny tiny thing that has more energy and talent than the rest of the room combined. She was patient, fun, and super amazing.
I got to meet the other dance troupe members too – Britt Stewart, Hayley Erbert, Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, and Artur Adamski!
