Lindy Hop and Argentine Tango Music from Dancing with the Stars 2009

Nice to see Lindy Hop grace the stage of Dancing with the Stars. I’m also a big fan of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy so nice to see them on the list below since they’re great for Lindy Hop music. Could you get 2 dances that were more different in both style and music?

I’m still working on finding a few of the songs, but I’ll update this page as I find them. Enjoy and let me know if you know one I’m missing or if I got any wrong. Thanks!

Woz to Walk Karina Smirnoff Down the Aisle

Seriously? Something seems wrong here. Why would Karina have Woz walk her down the aisle? Sure, invite Woz to the wedding. That’s cool. However, asking Woz to walk you down the aisle sure looks like a young russian girl trying to get in the pocket of a rich nerd.

Here’s the quote from the report:

“She said I could walk her down the aisle, and it touched my heart,” Wozniak told The Insider on Thursday.

More power to you Woz. You are dancing to your own beat and can do what you want with your life. This just doesn’t sound and feel right. Maybe Karina just has no friends and family that REALLY care about her and the Woz really does care about people in general. Would people really be surprised if this was the case?

Although Karina is having trouble setting a date since she has “so many family members”:

“We started talking about it and figuring out when and where we’re going to have it,” Smirnoff told Us last month. “But there’s so many family members that have a say that we got to try to make sure that everyone will be happy. But we think it will be sometime before the end of this year. So, not so long.”

Maybe Karina was just drunk and said it off hand. Who knows. Either way, it’s odd that she asked him to walk her down the aisle.

Ballas Hough Band and Julianne Hough at Grove

Many people already know that Mark Ballas, Derek Hough and Julianne Hough all have record deals. So, some might argue that they are each stars in their own right. I’d say that Julianne Hough is a star in her own right and Mark and Derek are well on their way to becoming stars.

Either way, fans of the 3 will really enjoy the following videos of the Ballas Hough Band performing at the Grove after the Dancing with the Stars taping. I’m told that they’ll be performing each Tuesday that the Grove. The Grove is a pretty cool place right next to where they tape Dancing with the Stars and you’re very likely to see other stars and professionals from Dancing with the Stars if you attend.
