DWTS2012 Derek Hough And Peta Murgatroyd ‘Great Balls Of Fire’ At The Mohegan Sun
Wowza!! These two are just so incredibly on FIRE and the Mohegan Sun was able to capture that “fire” in top form in the video below. As as you know from an earlier posting from our Miss Heidi, Peta and Derek performed last weekend at the Mohegan Sun. If you haven’t seen her post, be sure you do. She’s collected even more at Pure Derek Hough and worked tirelessly at it. Be sure you check it all out when you get a chance. “Great balls of FIRE” INDEED!
I really do like these two together, think they compliment each other and dance well together:) I would like to see them dance more with each other on the show 🙂
Sizzling, gorgeous couple!
Peta is quite the looker,young Sharon Stone. Derek? young Robert Redford
Good comparison, Hector! Derek sometimes looks like Leo DiCaprio. Peta reminds me of Madonna sometimes too.
Awesome dances. These two are great together.
Yes, Derek looks like a Di Caprio-Redford mix, not a bad mix- And Peta does have a Sharon- Madonna vibe-How feisty-wonderful!Could we get Sharon or Madonna for DWTS?(Would not that be super-exciting, huge ratings! Or Redford-Di Caprio? One can dream!We know Henry Byalikov, as per interview taught Leo to dance for the Bar Lurzman movie, plus Henry worked on the choreography for that prestigious film.Maybe Henry could ask Leo to be on DWTS,offer him Peta as Leo’s partner.Wow!
You’re a dreamer, Hector.
I don’t see the Robert Redford resemblance at all. But I do see a Clark Gable resemblance. I guess I am showing my age on that one. 🙂
Peta is a combo pack of different looks, Sharon Stone, Madonna, and Lacey all in one. With a touch of Molly from the Bachelor.
Peta went a bit heavy on the make up, but she does look very beautiful, stunningly so And that video! WowHow great are they togetherShe has her trademark steps, like she throws herself back with abadon. Ballls of Fire is one of my fav Derek choreos He sketches in dance a very acute and funny caracterization of Jerry Lee Lewis, especially for that DAD performance with Julianne.How clever can Derek get!
Derek gets better every day. His talent never ceases to amaze me.
All I could think of while watching that AT was, God if only they were on DWTS with the great lighting, experienced cameramen etc., this dance could have the potential of Derek and Anna’s paso. Considering all that and the teeny-tiny stage…it looked damn HOT. I sure hope Derek gets to do a few more pro dances and I just have this feeling that like he and Karina…he and Sharna could possibly burn down a building. JMO, of course…but then Derek can do that all by himself so I don’t think I am wrong.?!
Peta reminds me of Sharon Stone back when she was younger and an A-lister.
Neither Anna or Peta do Derek justice. They hold him back imo. Let’s give Sharma a shot, but maybe we should be careful what we wish for.
Hector, really? Sharon Stone was a high-fashion model, very classically beautiful woman. The comparison isn’t registering.
mimi’s right!needed a blackout, with just a spotlight on Derek & Peta, a little enhaning,and it would have been emmy material These two can surely make music together, and waves
@Katarina – I have always thought Sharon had the *IT* factor, you know, some of these celebrities have something unique and different that sets them apart. She is one beautiful lady. But I always felt that she had a bad ass vibe to her. And then there was the questionable *underwear debate* in the movie she did with Michael Douglas. Of course, that made everyone want to keep watching that movie. ummm, Did she or Didn’t she?…..
Sandy, I agree, the movie scene you’re referring to was her big Hollywood break lol. She knew what she had and how to sell it. Definitely not your average bleached blond.
Love it!! Looked like such an amazing performance and great time.
Its obvious the announcer also enjoyed Derek & Peta’s performances as he said there’s was the most amazing performance he’s seen there.
Hope to see these two perform on DWTS!! Love Derek’s energy!!
Something about Peta with Derek, that makes her look and dance much better-Or did she get a makeover?It must be that whoever Derek shares his dancing magic with, looks better–The Derek touch? Abracaderek, & she becomes a greater dancer!
I LOVED these two dances from Peta and Derek and especially the AT one!! They were amazing together and I hope that they will do something together in the future on DWTS!!!
@mimi
I totally agree with you! When I first saw their AT performance my first thought was: “Wow!!! I wonder how this would look on the DWTS dancefloor!”
P.S. Love the new haircut! 😀
@Hector, I love that word!
I think it should be put in the lexicon for the site, with other new words that have been coined! Yours is genius, and is a perfect description!
Abracaderek!
(Hector) I like Abracaderek!
It’s been said that Derek is a purist in the art of dance and he takes it to the highest level so whoever performs with him has to bring it! It seems he makes you step up your game.. Plus he loves to entertain!
I think he has the unique ability of bringing out the best in anyone he dances with, pro or other wise. The DWTS Tour was a perfect example of this!!
Again, I hope to see Peta & Derek perform in a pro dance in the upcoming season!
