Dancing With The Stars Past GROUP DANCE Review!
This is going to be quick, not much commentary, just the facts. Or rather, the videos.

I think that’s all…
this is the only video with the Hip hop group routine that i have with the sound matching the dance. hope it works!
It’s not the right song in that clip Elara38. This is the only one I could find with the right song.

Hope this works:

I can’t figure out how to embed the youtube video on this page, but here’s the link (please delete my previous posts):
LOL
Just when I write that I can’t get it to embed the video, it works… Go figure! 🙂
Lori, I love this post and I forgot how much I loved the Hustle performance!!!
Thanks…. I really appreciate that! We’ll get that posted as soon as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to post all these!
I didn’t start watching until a few seasons ago so haven’t seen any of these.
Glad to see the return of the Group dance! What one(s) were your favs?
I think that there was a group Viennese waltz in Season 2 as well. I seem to remember them all talking about being dizzy. 🙂
Wynn: My favorite is season 5’s group Rock&Roll dance. 🙂
That Country Western group dance was a total mess. The Swing and Hustle were great fun. I was just reminded how IMO season 9 had the least likable cast ever. Comparing them to season 13 cast it’s like a runny nose versus a basket of kittens.
Like seasons 4 and 5
My favourite is season 8. 2nd best is season 5. =] but I like season 1,2,3 and 4 too… =]
I barely could remember that season 9 had a group dance… (that season is the most confused of all)
the last fav is old school hip hop. terrible.
my favorite would have to be Season 8 – 1960′s. my second, but only just, Season 5 Rock and Roll. i am very happy they brought the group dance back! it is always fun to watch!
Thanks for the group dance flashbacks. Kym & Cheryl so young in season 3, Mark with lots of hair in season 5 & Derek such a cute babe w L Kim. And I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Ty Murray.
Season 6 was:
Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas
Jason Taylor & Edyta Śliwińska
Cristián de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke
Marissa Jaret Winokur& Tony Dovolani
Mario & Karina Smirnoff
Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough
Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez
I loved all the numbers. For me it’s what the show is about– entertaining me.
Was Christian Perry ever considered as a pro? He seemed to choreograph most of the group numbers. Looking on You Tube, it seems like he also danced on some result shows.
Thanks for posting these…I’ve only been watching since the season Ty Murray was on…I think it was 9..so most of these are new to me. And yes, I enjoyed watching Ty, also. He was so funny with this dry wit. He couldn’t dance, but not because he wasn’t trying every week. And he was such a gentleman. Love that little cowboy.
My all time favorite was season 5’s rock n roll. Seasons 8’s 1960’s was a close second. Season 4’s swing was in third and season 7’s country western was in fourth. The others aren’t very memorable or anything, just meh. I absolutly hated the very first one. It made me dizzy
Hey peoples…. Computer problems have prevented me from updating… As soon as my computer cooperates, I’ll edit and update, my iPod won’t let me do much…..
My favorite group dance was and always will be the 1960’s dance. Basically because of the fun song and Chuck Wicks’ Scooby Do wig. Loved it!
Howard: I believe that Christian Perry is a professional swing dancer and does not actually do any ballroom/latin at all. Not swing as in ballroom-type swing, but swing as in lindy hop and the other types of swing-dancing they did back in the 1950s and 1960s, etc.
April– Thanks for the info! He just seems to have a good personality and would have made a good addition.
That hustle performance was awesome! I personally think season 9 was my fav season. The 1960’S dance was good, but i didn’t watch that season 🙁 Great to see some familiar faces Louie Vito, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ty Murray, Melissa joan hart, Joana Krupa , trip down memory lane 😉
