Yes, it’s much more interesting when shows LIVE , either on the air or right on stage. I love it and it’s must be  a lot work before the show. I’m so amazed when they have no mistake in their dance. Kinda having amazing goal on their performance.

Dear Julito, when I first came here I also didn’t know that this site had an Argentine who would make our days wonderful by his comments. 


Ditti, husbands are always honest when it comes to saying how bad we are at doing things. If you are already married you might know this. 


I practice dancing regularly, and I’m a bit better than before now. Thanks for asking.

The only time I tried to dance, I sprained my leg. That night, I couldn’t sleep from pain. I spent the whole night Awake with the Stars.

I havent seen this show but I have to confess that I have no talent in dancing therefore watching such professional dancers makes me ashamed! :(

I like dancing, used to teach ballet, still dance and will never stop. I have a very good sense of rythm and very much interested in keeping my long life skill and developing it more and more. Practice makes perfect, you know;) But I don’t watch “Dancing with stars” I don’t know why. Wether I crave for more dance backround show. I know one of the dancers is supposed to be a pro. But the exciting proceses is mostly for who, for a star, but not for a watcher, I guess. I really like “So you think you can dance” show. Where the tough competition is involved and the best from the best are picked to amaze us with their incredible talented moves, pas, turns, jumps – you name it. But dancing with stars is more or less fun show for the people who take part in it. I love more dramatic stuff. And only professionals can get it through your senses.

I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like my kind of show. Dancing is a great stress-buster to me. I’m all for anything that is associated with dance.  


But unfortunately like our dear Julito I also have two left feet and can’t dance properly. 


Once when I was dancing with my husband I said, “Oh, I want to dance like this forever.”


He was shocked and said, “What?!! Don’t you want to improve?!!!”

I have seen this show as it had been populor for some time.Compared with dance wiyth celebrity,i am more like so you think you can dance.There are many competitors in this show got very touching tear-jerker stories.They use 10 minutes dance and the other 15 or 20minutes told stories.the TV producer let celebrties to describe how hard their partner was, kept dancing,never had the throught of gaven up.It was true that celebrities are more convincing. But i can’t stand with that business mode.

TV producers in my country  have put on the air a copy of this show under the name of  ”bailando por un sueño” dancing for a dream . This show gets high ratings , mostly because    show business , sport  and other  well known  figures  take part in this competition. In spite of the buzz  and the propaganda i don`t see the show .The main reason is that watching these people dancing  makes me aware  that i have two “dumb” legs . hahahaha

Yes, of course it sounds interesting to me ! I haven’t seen “Dancing with the stars”, but I watched some similar Hugarian shows. I love this kind of show because I like dances very much, but unfortunatly I am too famble to do it! :-(  And it is also good to see how can people improve during a few weeks.


I always admired people who are professional at dance.


And of course I love dancing films like Dirty dancing, Flashdance and so on. I thin dancing is one of the most beautiful and attractive art.

I have seen some sort of that show but they are not interesting to me, of course seeing non of competitions like football or any other type of sport competitions are interesting to me!
I think being a competitor If i can, is better than to see people competition!
