DWTS More Coverage Of Casa Dorada’s New Year’s Eve Barefoot Formal (Photos, Video)
The Zaring Group has sent us some awesome photos from Casa Dorada’s New Year’s Eve Barefoot Formal which, as most of you know from previous reports, took place in Cabo San Lucas this past weekend. Performers from three different reality shows, “Dancing with the Stars,” “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance” collaborated to entertain guests at Casa Dorada’s New Year’s party.
The event was hosted by Mary Murphy (“So You Think You Can Dance” judge) and featured performances and entertainment by “Dancing with the Stars” Louis Van Amstel, Anna Trebunskaya, Jonathan Roberts, Chelsie Hightower, Dmitry Chaplin; “American Idol’s” Michael Johns, Melinda Doolittle, Rickey Smith, LaToya London; “So You Think You Can Dance’s” Allison Holker and Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss.
According to The Zaring Group, everyone sang Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” to close out the night and welcome in 2012 with a fireworks display over the Sea of Cortez.
Casa Dorada’s New Year’s Eve Barefoot Formal was produced by The Zaring Group. The stage show was presented by Jay D. Schwartz and Louis Van Amstel, with Louis choreographing as well as performing.
The photos below of Allison and tWitch, Jonathan, Chelsie, and Dmitry were taken by Enrique Morales. The photo with Anna and Louis was taken by Omar Wrtiz/Fernando Lugo.
Special thanks to Kathy of The Zaring Group for taking us there up close and personal!!
Also, below is a fun video of Chelise, Dmitry, and Stephen tWitch Boss performing and dancing to “Moves Like Jagger”. Thanks to the Dmitry Dream Team at facebook for the find.
I think I know where I’d like to go next New Year’s if they hold this event again! How about you? 🙂
ADDING: You can view another performance HERE of Jonathan Roberts, Mary Murphy, Dmitry Chaplin, Louis Van Amstel and Chelsie Hightower dancing to Melinda Doolittle and LaToya London’s “Proud Mary”.
Sign me up. Looks and sounds like a lot of fun!
Just not a fan of Dimitri, I guess I am in the minority on that one. Didn’t get the point of the open shirt while dancing to Moves like Jagger. Its just my opinion though.
I love Melinda Doolittle, imo vocally probably one of the best singers ever to perform on American Idol. This Seemed like a fun event though. Would have loved to have been there.
my daughter took me! it was fantastic especially to see all these fabulous dancers dance the macarena. Twitch and Ricky Bell were adorable dancing the macarena filmed to Extra. Louis van Amstel Michael Orland and Jay Schwartz produced the show for the second year and it was fabuloso. Great way to start the new year!
You’re not alone, Sandy – I’ve never cared for Dmitry either. I don’t dislike him, I don’t like him either, though.
Marie, that is too awesome!
And Heidi and Sandy, I can do with or without Dmitry it seems….though I did like him a lot with Petra.
I could take Dmitry or leave him. I think his choreography style is probably better-suited to SYTYCD than DWTS…I don’t think he’s quite moved on from his days on SYTYCD yet. Liked his chemistry with Petra, but overall their dancing was bland. I just think he’s got some growing to do in his choreography before he can really “wow” me.
# Sandy – agree…and I don’t get the point of the open shirt too… and i think Dmitry has no growth potential and he ended up disappointing me with his choreo .. he screwed up even when he had really good partners…i would have preferred Jonathan … i think Petra had the potential to be amazingly great …with another partner…. and i think Mya would have won with a different pro.. but i LOVED tWitch!! loved his part!!
