PureDWTS Season 19 Week 10 Poem: “Plugging Into The Semi-Finals”

Give it up for Lois!! Here she is with another one of her fabulous poems…

My Poem for Week 10

A darkened ballroom, ticks counting down on the clock!
The switch was flipped, lights shining bright as the sun!

DANCING WITH THE STARS was:

PLUGGING INTO THE SEMI-FINALS!

AN ELECTRIFYING, ENERGIZING EVENING OF DANCE!

PLUGGING INTO THE SEMI-FINALS, the ballroom dazzling, a’glow
AN ELECTRIFYING, ENERGIZING EVENING OF DANCE, grand show

The dancing pairs were given a challenge, two dances it would be
A plugged version, an unplugged version, talent would be the key

The ballroom shook with applause, Tom and Erin issuing the call
Time to plug in the dances, time to begin the grand dancing ball

Each dancing pair shook off their nerves, their feet ready to dance
The audience far and wide ready to see who had the best chance

BETHANY AND DEREK

PLUGGING INTO I WANT YOU BACK
SAMBA – WITH ASSIST FROM SASHA FARBER

Snappy moves, two guys in love with a girl, full of heart
A Central Park Promenade, light, fluffy, like cotton candy

UNPLUGGING INTO I WANT YOU BACK
CONTEMPORARY

A picture frame filled with the simplicity of dance
Like a painting coming alive, modern masterpiece

JANEL AND VAL

PLUGGING INTO BLAME
PASO DOBLE – WITH AN ASSIST FROM MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY

Fierce, full on powerful attack, fabulous, as one, force of nature
Crisp as a starched white shirt, powerful, pulsating beats

UNPLUGGING INTO BLAME
ARGENTINE TANGO
WITH TIME FOR THREE – FEATURING A VALENTIN VIOLIN

Connection by a concerto, vibrant, vivacious, gift of dance
Dynamic interpretation, putting the oo in mood, intimate

ALFONSO AND WITNEY

PLUGGING INTO LOVE RUNS OUT
ARGENTINE TANGO

Full of spirit, speed, strength, smoke and fire, fight
Artistry from the Prince of Buenos Aires, glory lasts forever

UNPLUGGING INTO LOVE RUNS OUT
CONTEMPORARY – WITH CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

Poetry in motion, fluid lines, drama, passion, intensity, being free
Partners on the same page, two instruments playing same tune

SADIE AND MARK

PLUGGING INTO PROBLEM
QUICKSTEP

Floaty, flirty, fast stepping, full of speedy feet, detail oriented
Sadie – a shining light, brilliant, bit of Hip Hop and Charleston

UNPLUGGING INTO PROBLEM
ARGENTINE TANGO – WITH NOAH GUTHRIE

Guitar prop, sensational, staccato movements, classy, poised
True to Sadie, powerful, challenging choreography, a connection

TOMMY AND PETA

PLUGGING INTO TAINTED LOVE
JAZZ

Red hot, fiery flame of flirtation, great entertainment
Peta – human defibrillator – MVP of Season 19

UNPLUGGING INTO TAINTED LOVE
RUMBA

Balletic, sweet, endearing, graceful gallantry, magical
Touching, honestly felt between the master and muse

PLUGGING INTO THE SEMI FINALS, two dances were energized and electrified
AN ELECTRIFYING, ENERGIZING EVENING OF DANCE, greatness personified!
