I love Dancing with the Stars would be a dream come true to have a dance lesson with this pro-dancer =)
I would love to get some dancing lessons from them! Even if I’ve never watched the show regularly.
I don’t watch Dancing with the Stars, but I hear a lot about it. This post at least gives me an introduction to it.
I have heard much about Dancing with the Stars, but honestly did not have a chance in to watch it anytime before. Would love to watch the upcoming seasons for sure.
