Cha, Cha, Cha Edition: THE GOOD, THE BAD, and THE INCREDIBLY HOT!
5 days until the premier of season 9!!!! According to twitter, our pros and celebs are brushing up on their first dances so I am taking the first four dance styles (Cha, Cha, Salsa, Viennese Waltz, and Foxtrot) and finding the best, the worst, and the incredible hot from all previous seasons! After these next four editions, we should know exactly what to look for when it comes show time!
THE GOOD
Season 3: Emmitt Smith
Emmit displays a lot of qualities that make a cha, cha, cha so hot! First of all, you can tell that he is having a blast by his expressions through out the dance. He always keeps up with Cheryl and is able to dance her choreo precisely and with only one noticeable slip up which was when he slide under her.
Season 4: Laila Ali
It is so nice to see the girly side of Laila! She looks like she is have such a ball with Maks! I am always impressed when a celeb can pick up footwork/technique! It’s got to be one of the hardest aspects of the show since it is so specific! However, Laila’s hands kill me!!!! Not her extension stops mid forearm and never extends through her hands or fingers! Overall, she was fabulous!
Helio Castroneves: Season 5
Helio always cracked me up! I loved that he got so excited about his performances 🙂 I will say that this cha, cha, cha wasn’t the most exciting dance but it did earn them a 30 so I feel like I should pay tribute to them along with the other 30s 🙂
Season 6: Kristi Yamaguchi
Kristi was amazing to watch all season! I wish she would have come out of her shell just a little bit more and let America see her personality! I kind of felt like she was business all the time! However, Mark was a great teacher for her and the two of them had amazing chemistry together 🙂 This cha, cha, cha was precise, articulate, and a lot of fun all around!
Season 8: Shawn Johnson
Shawn is so adorable! I can’t say enough about this little lady! You could tell that she had so a blast with Mark and this dance! Mark choreographed it so suit her so well and she performed it flawlessly!
THE BAD
Season 3: Tucker Charlson
A pretty good hint that a dance is going to be a train wreck is if the celeb is sitting in a chair for a good amount of time during the opening of the dance! I think Tucker looked like he was having fun but I feel like you could tell her was uncomfortable with the steps. He was very heavy on his feet and didn’t display the technique that the Cha Cha Cha requires.
THE INCREDIBLY HOT
Season 5: Gloria Estefan
Gloria Estefan is a classic and this song is great for a cha, cha, cha! And how can you not love Julianne, Kim, Mark, and Maks 🙂
I’m not big fan of laila cha cha ,but i love her mambo and samba,she was the queen of the latin dances.
This was not the cha cha that helio got the 30, this was his first cha cha (28) his first 10 of the season.
I like kristi cha cha but i prefer her second cha cha ,the one that she got the 30.
Shawn’s cha cha was probably my favorite dance that she did and i think my favorite cha cha ever on dwts, i love the song and Mark choreographed was really awesome.
My second favorite cha cha was Jennie and Derek second cha cha, she really deserve make to the finals after that.
cha cha is such a cool dance ,there is a lot of cool cha chas over the seasons, Apolo and Julianne and Mark and Sabrina were really cool too.
This pro dance was perfect, i love watch Julianne dance with Mark ,they are great together and is really funny when Maks spank Marks butt.
Thank you for keeping me on my toes Phillipe! I have all the videos fixed 🙂
I love Shawn and Mark’s cha-cha-cha. I also love that they chose a dance that they didn’t get a perfect score on the first time. She looks like she is having so much fun!
