Dancing With the Stars – New Dance Styles
Looks like Dancing With The Stars are adding some spice to this season, not that it hasn’t been spicy enough before. Wetpaint had a really good article and we have re-posted it for you here. Enjoy.
==========================
Are you ready? Dancing With the Stars Season 16 starts on Monday, March 18, at 8 p.m. on ABC.
In a new press release, ABC revealed there are two new dance styles for this season — Contemporary (which several couples got as their first dance) and Jazz. So, slowly but surely, DWTS is turning into So You Think You Can Dance. We even stole two of SYTYCD’s recent stars as new pros!
Here are more details on what’s coming up:
