Ballroom With A Twist Reveiw, New Photo of DWTS Tristan MacManus And Anna Trebunskaya
If you visit Cape Cod Online, you can read a mixed review on the current run of Ballroom With A Twist. I kind of wonder of this person is a dancing fan for the way it reads. However, there are some positive mentions too and a cool new pic of Dancing With The Stars Tristan MacManus And Anna Trebunskaya. Below is a take from the link of the review….
Technically, the dancers — including members and alumni of the shows “Dancing With the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance” — are fantastic, with spot-on footwork and lithe bodies that challenge your idea of just how far one can push the skeletal system.
And their adagio work is something to behold — graceful but just a tad dangerous-looking, with those swooping drops that make your heart do the same.
Especially powerful, performing a nontraditional but gorgeous combination of break dancing, ballet and who-knows-what, are “So You Think You Can Dance” alums Randi Lynn Strong, Jonathan Platero and Legacy (yes, that’s how he’s billed).
But missing between many couples is chemistry, a thing deeply ingrained in professional ballroom dancing but which has, with the partner-switching of today’s reality dancing TV shows, been replaced with showmanship.
For Tristan MacManus of “Dancing With the Stars,” that’s a successful transition — he’s witty and charming during his “Donny and Marie”-style segments with fellow DWTS professional Anna Trebunskaya. “American Idol” alums Gina Glocksen and Von Smith also do a good job with their between-dance performances, giving a bit of flow to the show.
Though she’s clearly the belle of the ball(room), Trebunskaya struggles with her host duties, appearing a bit wooden.

EXTRA: If you go to this link at facebook, you can see Tristan dancing with Peta Murgatroyd at Park Lane’s Chicago Convention last Saturday. Tristan, as always, dances like a Prince. Peta looks beautiful too.
UPDATE: You can view more new photos of Anna and Tristan at Ballroom With A Twist Official Facebook. So passionate All!. Be sure you see them.
I really want to see BWAT but then these reviews, I love Anna and the thing about her hosting, why would you script her to begin with, anywho wish they’d do some shows in the south!
ohhh yes. prince Tristan!!!!Love his dancing
Thanks for this wonderful find, Vogue. 🙂
As for the mixed review, well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m sure the majority of folks who go to the show absolutely love it. It’s designed as light entertainment for the man/woman on the street not for dance experts.
I’m thrilled that Tristan continues to shine!
YW and thanks for your thoughts!! I sure hope he’s back for the new season!!
For those interested, check out the new “update” to the first post. More new photos of Anna and Tristan!! 🙂
Me too, Vogue, me too. ***fingers crossed***
Love the update leading us to the fabulous pictures of Anna and Tristan. 😀
By the way, I found the review from Cape Cod Today much more to my taste, especially the part that reads, “The stars of the show are Anna Trebunskaya and Tristan MacManus…When they aren’t showing off their amazing ballroom talents, the pair are the show’s very personable hosts. Trebunskaya is graceful and poised and MacManus is impish and adorable.” 😉 ***fist pump***
That description is much better! I agree!!! “fist pumps right with ya!!! 😉
