ABC Releases Dancing With The Stars Season 17 First Rehearsal Photos
Just a quick update this morning and a fun one at that!! Getty Images has started to release rehearsal pics of our couples getting ready for Dancing With The Stars Season 17!! They’ve been captured in fun, beautiful, and passionate ways. You can view what they’ve released so far here. Keep checking back to see if they release more.
Way fun!!!! Let us know what you think! 6 more days and counting!! Yay!!!
ADDING: Also, don’t miss heading over to the Daily Mail for some new parking lot photos of some of the cast.
Hooray, 6 more days! They all look like they’re working so hard. I think it’s going to be a great season.
YAY – everyone looks so good! From what I can see, seems everyone is working hard and catching on. I thought Leah might be the first one out, but she looks terrific. While a picture can tell a thousand words, it does little to convey actual dance moves/rhythm, so am looking forward the the first rehearsal vids. It’s gonna be another good season, and it’s just around the corner !
It looks to me like Jack Osborne is having the hardest time. He looks very stiff. Hopefully more rehearsal will un-stiffen him. Val and Elizabeth are already making me wince a bit. And Sharna’s expression looking up at Keyshawn is the funniest. What a different experience for her from her time with Andy!
The photos are so much fun! Hope the rehearsal videos come out soon. Is it Sept. 16th yet? 😀
Seems like Eli and Val have Contemporary which I think might actually be good for them. I liked Val’s Contemporary with Zendaya last season (my favorite dance of theirs) so I am looking forward to this one.
I agree that it looks like Elizabeth and Val have contemporary, and I believe both Corbin and Karina and Christina and Mark also have contemporary (based on interviews). Not really a fan of Val’s contemporary (the one with Zendaya last season was nice, but the contemporary with Kelly made me cringe), and I’m not really looking forward to the dance because I’m afraid it’s going to be more like Kelly’s than Zendaya’s.
Based on the pictures, I’m guessing that Leah and Tony and Keyshawn and Sharna have cha cha (unless someone knows otherwise?) – and from interviews I think Amber and Derek, Snookie and Sasha, and Brant and Peta have cha cha as well. Leah looking good (at least in the photos); not sure about Keyshawn. It’s hard to tell from the pictures how he’s going to dance.
Jack and Cheryl and Bill and Emma both look like they have foxtrot – and given the number of cha chas, I’m guessing that Valerie and Tristan and Bill and Tyne also have foxtrot (which would make sense – though I could see them giving Bill N. cha cha out of the gate. Bill’s actually looking better than Jack is – I’m kind of surprised. I’m hoping that Bill E can actually move, because I’m hoping he and Emma stick around for awhile.
I hope they post pictures of the other six couples soon – and I can’t wait until we get some rehearsal videos!
hmmmm Butterfly, the photos of Leah & Tony look more like foxtrot to me ….but I’m no dancer, so take my opinion with several grains of salt 😉
I remember Keyshawn saying somewhere in one of the fab interviews that our clever Vogue is always finding for us that they have Cha Cha – ditto for Snooki and Brant and Amber. If they divide the teams up evenly among the 3 dances, then we’ve got our Cha Cha group confirmed
my notes also show confirmed that Jack and Bill Engvall both have Foxtrot (again, thanks to Vogue) – I’m guessing Val and Leah will close this group
based on absolutely nothing, I’m thinking Bill Nye might have Contemporary, which I think could be a good thing for him. We know Christina and Corbin both have Contemporary and it definitely looks like Elisabeth does as well.
Great pics and vids! Thanks, Vogue 🙂
Will they give Bill Nye contemporary as first dance? His partner is a contemporary dance, but can Bill handle it? Interesting!
From memory, I think last seasons dances weren’t even in week 1.. I think it was 5-4-3. I can easily see five cha chas in week 1 again.
It’s hard to tell @Linde – I was thinking foxtrot, until I saw some of her poses, which look more like cha cha.
They may not have an even number of each of the dances – last year, they only had three contemporaries in the first week, with (I think) an extra cha cha, instead of 4-4-4.
Leah & Tony look like they’re doing foxtrot to me – there’s probably just some open work thrown in to make it interesting, and that’s what looks like cha-cha.
I wonder if Bill Nye’s contract specifies that he gets to wear his bow tie every week. It’s so his trademark. With an otherwise proper dance costume, for the samba and the rumba it could add a (kind of) Chippendale vibe!??!
Yay! Rehearsal pics…can vids be far behind? Hope not. Can’t wait for the 16th.
Elizabeth and Corbin look solid. Love the cute picture of Corbin hugging Karina.
Leah and Keyshawn look better than I expected. However, I keep in mind what Gleb said to Lisa, something like “you look like a dancer when you don’t move”. 😛
Jack and Bill E look about how I expected, which is to say, not great. Neither appear very flexible. Cheryl needs to work on Jack’s hands, but his feet look better. Bill does look a bit like an ironing board.
ROFL Susan – Bill Nye as a Chippendale! Now I can’t get that image out of my mind ….
Nice to see some Amber and Derek pics! She definitely looks like she is having a blast. They are looking good..
And I just now remember of who they remind me of: Lisa Riley
and Robin Windsor (from Strictly season 10). Lisa was a thick girl but she could movee! And her partnership with Robin was amazing. She was so funny and always so bubbly and even got the highest score of the night in the first week for a Cha Cha AND they made it to the quarter finals.
I can totally see the same thing happening with Amber in terms of her time on the show 🙂 Even more so because she has Derek who’s obviously everyone’s dream partner 😛
