DWTS Season 2- ABC Releases First Set of Rehearsal Teasers (Videos)
Yesterday afternoon, ABC released it’s first set of rehearsal videos. You can view them all below. If you had to choose the best dancer from this selection, who would it be? I’d say it’s going to be hard to beat Chelsea and Mark. Ralph is looking better than he did in the last video we posted too. But, they are seriously looking good in their own individual ways. This Season is going to be so good.
Ok, let’s begin….
Anna stresses to Sugar that his legs are the money makers this time, not his arms.
Chelsea can’t stop kissing Mark, wha??
Kendra giving Louis booty.
Chris says, “…and we thought Master P was bad”. Look at that smile at the end.
Wendy says her shoulders are on vacation. What is she wearing?
Is this the Karate Kid? Whoa!
We posted this yesterday, but, I wanted to be sure to include Maks and Kirstie in this first ABC round up post. Kirstie shows Maks she can dance like Lacey or Edyta. Take your pick. 
Everyone from the show always said how much fun he was and how much they liked him. I...
I hate ABC for not allowing us outside of US to watch freaking rehearsal clips.
I am SO with you, Sasa! Especially when they simultaneously broadcast the show on our network here in Canada. *grumble* *grumble* *grumble*
same here !
I agree Guys! What a shame! I’ll look around and see if I can find them somewhere else.
I almost feel guilty, now, for getting to see them. But since I HAVE seen them, I think they all look really good. I thought Chris Jericho was going to look bad at the first of the clip, but no. He looked good by the end. Sugar Ray can really move, he just needs to get the choreography. What a fun season this is going to be. Kirstie needs to get her endurance…that is her biggest threat I think. Oh boy! Thanks for posting these.
Alright my excitment has increased for sure. Everybody looks better than I thought they would be. Cant wait to see it all on the floor next Monday
I like how this season is looking so far. I think it this will top last season!
Ralph – wow, he could probably nail some of these dances. Wendy – she’s very pretty with her hair up – could be a great waltz. Watch those eyes, though. Too wide open with the hair up and she looks like she’s giving someone the stink eye.
Gee, Ten, set the bar any lower?
Anything would top last season from my perspective. The Bristol crap was just too much.
The YouTube channel codebear4 has the rehearsal videos
Thanks Ryan! Have you a direct link to one that I could try? Codebear has a KAJILLION clips and I don’t see one with rehearsal yet….
Oh, I tried a little harder and found ‘em

And I appear to be able to watch!
Oh… and I found this other fanvid that’s really, really nicely done that showcases a good 9+ minutes of PRO DANCING!

(Okay, might be a little biased because it focuses on Maks and Tony, but… PRO DANCING!)
Thanks so much for the links!
Hmm, any reason the Ralph video is coming up private? I can’t play it.
I think everyone looks better than I thought they would except Wendy…ai ai ai. I think Tony might have his hands full this season!
Courtney, I thought the same thing. She looked stiff and not very into it.
I’ve seen Kirstie’s “edyta” and “lacey lacey lacey” bit dozens of times now, and it still cracks me up … and so dead on!
Wonder how come so little so far on Dmitry/Petra and nothing on Kym/Hines?
I have this feeling that the slower dances like te Foxtrot and Waltz and Rumba Wendy will do fine at. But the faster dances like the Jive and Quickstep she might struggle. But what do I know. Could be wrong
SB: Kendra surprised me. I thought she wouldnt be that good. But from the rehearsal footage she seems like she learns pretty quick
Which is funny since Wendy said it was Tony’s wife who had put her name on the list. Someone must have pissed Lina off.
I’m still not sold on Kirstie. Chelsea is the obvious ringer this season. Can’t wait to see Romeo.
I saw Dmitry and Petra on E! tonight and it sure looked like Dmitry has dyed his hair black – any ideas why??
You probably already know this, so sorry if I’m stating the obvious… But if you watch the first video in this post, you can then click on Petra/Dmitry and Hines/Kym at the end on the bottom. There’s a little scrolling thing.
Thanks for the post!
I’ve seriously watched Kirstie’s Lacey/Edyta thing twenty times.
I saw the related video of Hines & Kym and I was really impressed with him. Kendra is looking good, and so is Chelsea. The others look good and about the same level, which means this season will be exciting. Wendy & Petra don’t look as good as the rest of the pack, but they’re trying hard. Tony & Dmitry are good teachers and have a lot of patience. The footage is from the 1st rehearsals, so who knows, they may have improved greatly since.
Kirstie cracks me up! I had to watch that a couple of times.

Hines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkSoSoMi-mY
Romeo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlC_NzqMKUE
I’ve been dying to see rehearsal footage from Hines and Kym but have yet to see it…they are or at least were practicing at the studio I take lessons at but they practice during the day and are long gone by the time I get there for my evening lesson. Someone above mentioned a rehearsal video of them but I have not been able to find it yet.
duh! never mind i found it
Wow. Hines looks *good.* I am seriously impressed.
Woo Hoo – found everyone
Thanks Rory!
Just my first impressions of the people I’ve actually watched in action – Petra and Dmitry are like watching paint dry. Hines and Kym are hilarious together, and he’s surprisingly good at picking up the choreography, and super competitive. Chris is SO sweet and takes Cheryl’s criticisms very well. Ralph I don’t know what to make of yet – very neurotic but nice and better than I thought he’d be, and gets along great with Karina.
Petra looks much better in her E rehearsals than she does in the ABC ones, probably since those were from the first rehearsal. Dmitry’s hair has always been black. Her and Dmitry look like they’re having a good time.
Petra E rehearsal:
This is going to be a great season with tough competition. Can’t wait! I loved seeing the rehearsal packages. Kristie and Maks are hilarious. Loved the Edyta and Lacey bit. She actually can move pretty well. Can only imagine what she will be capable of as the weeks of training and weight loss will do for her. Romeo, Chelsea, and Kendra looked good, but think we all knew they would. Chris seems to have a great attitude and can move decently. Sugar Ray strength is sure his feet. I feel that Ralph is a sentimental favorite because of his iconic role from the Karate Kid. I sure see potential out of him and he is looking good. Only thing I worry for him is him being loss in the shuffle. Hines and Kym were a surprise. I loved what I saw and they looked awesome. Tony sure has his work cut out with Wendy. Petra did not look good compared to the others, but least they are having fun.
