Official Rehearsal Pictures Of William Levy And Cheryl Burke Released
Finally, some cool official Dancing With The Stars rehearsal pics of Cheryl Burke and William Levy have been released and wow, are they looking steamy. 😀 . Be sure to visit Getty Images here to see what I mean because the picture above is only a sneak peek and doesn’t do them complete justice. I especially love the photo of William dipping Cheryl. 🙂
10 more days, Everyone, and counting! 😉
Just hope that starting practice this past Tues instead of last week doesn’t hurt them on the first week. I know that Cheryls and hopefully Williams fans will vote like crazy for them. She needs to win a third trophy soon.
From these pics alone he kinda reminds me of Christian and Drew.
Umm that bandana is not working for me.
He’s good looking . Dance wise, not to sure and there’s some tough competition this season.
Cheryl will make something out of him If he has any dance talent and is willing to apply himself.
I’m curious to see what his personality is like and whether or not he can connect with Cheryl and engage the audience.
Buttercup your back… Goodie, that means the season is getting closer. 🙂
I agree, the only celeb that could pull off the bandana was Apollo.
I don’t find William’s body good looking at all. Not a fan of the big thick muscular look. It’s kind of a turn-off if you ask me.
Sandy, I’m with you on that not a fan of big hunky men either LOL. It’s going to be interesting to see how he does in the fun dances such as Jive and quickstep. He’s sexy but does he have charisma to go with it? guess we’ll see soon.
I’m with Sandy. I think the pictures of William are a huge turn off. I got the “ick gross” vibe from him. But then, clearly, I am into the Derek and Tristan’s of the world. I would even prefer Marky to William.
wow, a lot of negative vibes from people in this forum about william and we haven’t seen him dance in any of the videos yet.and also no bandana and not a fan of thick muscular look-hmmm i wonder about chris jericho,hines ward.i just hope william does extremely well !!!!!
Nice try, reneetamesha. Hurling insults will get your comment sent straight to the trash. If that’s how you’re gonna play, just go away.
And maria, everyone’s entitled to their opinion – and I’m not really sure why you’re bringing up Chris & Hines, since we’re not talking about them…seems like you’re just deflecting. Doesn’t really help your argument much.
Maria, some of us are just saying we don’t find William attractive. That’s not a diss, it’s a personal preference. Chris and Hines? Wasn’t actually attracted to them either, although I liked both of them for their personalities.
As for never saying anything good about Cheryl’s partners?? LOL – okay, once again the “if you don’t adore them you’re a hater” syndrome comes from the extreme fan camp. Don’t be pointing fingers at my fandom when yours has clearly made you blind. Try reading all the comments on this site and then get back to me.
I’m not going to speak for maria (or anyone else for that matter), but my initial reaction to Williams was that he was just “a hunk” and while hunks are fine, they’re nothing more than “eye candy”. Then I remembered Chris Jericho, about whom I’d had the same initial reaction, e.g., “oh, a muscle-bound wrestler”. Yet I ended up really liking him. He was a lovely guy. So that’s why I’m looking forward to seeing who William is as a person and a dancer. Maybe I won’t find him likeable; but maybe he’ll turn out to be another Chris for me.
In my opinion, I think William will fare depending on how smoking good he comes out dancing ala GIlles Marini. Otherwise folks might forget about him and vote for celebs they’re more familiar with. But I think he does have a partner to make him look good.
I honestly wish I had William’s abs. Dude is ripped. Saying that, rocking the brett micaels headband isn’t a great look lol. If he ever wears a cowboy hat I will start thinking Brett is his stylist lol
William Levy is known as the “latin Brad Pitt”.
I think he is quite handsome, I hope he can dance 🙂
I have a little faith in him. And while Heidi and other people might not like the “thick muscular man”, other people do, and I think you should respect people’s opinions. But I don’t want to fight with anyone, so that’s all I’m going to say (please do not take this comment personally or snap at me).
Back to Will. As I said, I do have a little faith in him, I have a little faith in everyone (Yes, INCLUDING Sherri). Honestly, I see him doing well in latin, for obvious reasons. Ballroom I’m a little iffy over. Yes, the bandana his horrible, but get over it. LOL
I’m supporting a little bit of everyone at the moment until I see everyone dance next Monday.
Tony disagreeing with you isn’t *not* respecting your opinion. If you can’t handle disagreement on any level, you’re in the wrong place. And if you don’t like being snapped at, perhaps it is you who need to respect other people’s opinions. Because where I’m sitting, you’re not respecting others rights to not agree with you.
Fair enough Heidi. I don’t feel as if I said “don’t disagree with me” by saying “don’t snap at me.” I don’t know about you, but disagreements can be said/written/what have you respectfully and not come off as rude. I may have not said the right thing, I may have irritated you, and for that I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to do that. Again, I apologize, I’ll try to be more thoughtful and say something about the post instead of saying something about the moderators.
Tony, you said “get over it” about the bandana and the rest of what you wrote sounded to like you were saying “if you say anything bad about William, you’re not respecting my opinion”. The reverse is true, IMO. If you don’t want us to say anything about William, you are not respecting our opinions. Nothing I have said about William is rude – it’s how I feel. Sounds to me like you think any disagreement is “rude” – again, if that’s how you feel, you might be in the wrong place. You can say things “nicely” and still be disrespecting people, too – and that’s what I think YOU were doing.
Haha! I think that’s where everything’s getting mixed up. I meant for the “get over it” comment about the bandana to be more like “he wore the bandana. There’s nothing we can do about it, get over it.” That’s all I meant about it. =)
Okay. I see what you mean, Heidi. To clarify, say what you want about William, I didn’t know who he was until he was announced. I realize now by saying “respect people’s opinion” was completely out of the blue and unnecessary because, simply put, I was being stupid. Having read everything back, you weren’t saying anything bad to someone about him.
Sorry for the confusion and unneeded heated words. =)
Now I just look like a hypocrite. Just forget everything I’ve said, because it no longer makes any sense. Or delete everything. Haha!
Interesting opinions. I’d say Willaim is about on par with Maks build which is not everyone’s cup of tea nor always the most conducive to dancing.
William looks WAY bigger than maks to me. I guess we will see in a week.
I agree with Heidi. WAY bigger than Maks.
In my opinion when I see guys that have that thick masculine look, they are trying TOO hard to be noticed. The big thick arms and chest are distracting and quite frankly *gross*. All the other good attributes are gone for me, because I can’t get past his look.
the questions is (to be answered in one short week) is whether or not all those muscles can move to the rhythm of the beat. Cheryl knows how to crack the whip, but will his macho be too much to take direction?
All this speculation is all part of the exciting anticipation. Woo Hoo, less than a week to go!
Okay guys enough, you sound like kids, Willam levy is a very good looking man, and I wish him the best. I wish everyone on the team the best… We should applaud every single one of them in having the courage and dancing infront of the whole world….
I have seen William Levy act as a actor and he is great….. and having a body like that just means he takes good care of himself… Just like anyone else in the dance teams….. So stop the negative feedback and wish them all the best of luck……
Susan, I like William and I think he’s a doll, …but, hey, he’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. If someone wants to voice as such, they have every right to do so. Please do not tell anyone to “stop” doing anything here. It is not your place. Thanks.
I think all of our moms would be upset that you’re trying to steal their thunder, Susan. 🙂 But seriously, if you can’t resist waltzing in here telling everyone how to think, feel, & act…just don’t come back.
pls stop arguing about my latin lover,lol..i love cheryl to death, and i love anybody who dances w her. having said that, i find Gilles looks a lot more charming and attractive. it doesn’t matter what you think of cheryl, she’s lucky enough to dance w some of the finest men ever been on dwts. and she’s produced some of the best dancers ever on the show. and i feel she’s about to make another great dancer on William.
I wish them all well and let the best dancer win!
He does not have the sweetness and charm of Gilles. He is too rugged.
It’s official. Courtney is nicer than me. I would have just deleted Susan and been done with it. 🙂
haha, i love the derek fans. love the banters and sarcasms,lol. wish our cheryl forum is open as this, and yet sweet! u guys rock!
Saw the rehearsal video of William dancing… He has no problem moving his hips from what I saw, but I just feel he sort of is ungraceful at this moment in time and it may be due to his huge upper body. Cheryl’s choreo is keeping him very close to her body (from what I saw). I don’t know if he is going to be the 2nd coming of Gilles… but he might be like Christian de la Fuente and improve over time if he stays on. I don’t remember if Christian was really good right off the bat.
As far as his dancing, he did meet her late and start later than everyone else …especially Sherri lol…
He’s handsome and we’ll just have to wait and see his personality. Maks is handsome, and in some pics, Val looks nice, but they are a turn off to people because of their “hot & cold” personalities.
Hope everyone entertains us!
i’m a dancer, and from what i saw, William is better than Cristian did in their cha cha cha. i agree, i’m not a big fan of big mascular guys, coz it takes away the grace from your upper body. the muscles do tighten up the joints, and you have the tendency to look uptight and a little hump. he seems like very natural and rhythmic, but from my experience, lifting too much weights do sometimes can stiff up your arms and shoulders and look wooden.
w his built, i’m always concern w the posture and grace. he’s got great lines though, and if you’re a natural, it’s easier to adjust to all these technical requirements, such as posture.
i don’t think he’s got the technique and even passion of gilles, but certainly the best dancer cheryl had in a while after gilles.
i think he’s got great smile though.
the leaner the dancers, the better——lighter and speed, better lines, more grace, and better flexibility.
i just forgot to say that, i think the latin dances is a no brainer for him. might be wrong, but i think the ballroom rounds are gonna be his biggest challenge.
Cheryl Burke is a very good dancer, I hope she wins this time around… William Levy has a good partner….
I love William Levy and he is the most talked about actor right now in the Latin community so he wont have any trouble getting votes. Not to mention he is good looking and has a great personality. He also has a good partner so that helps too.
“William looks WAY bigger than maks to me”
In terms of bulk he is bigger, but in terms of how he’s naturally put together, it’s more along Maks’ lean lines than say Chris Jericco’s stalkeir ones. Seems to move well for his size though.
