DWTS Season 23, Week 6 – Who’s Dancing What…and When?
It’s Latin Night!! I’ll be very curious to see how everyone does. For my own thinking purposes, I listed which contestant has done which latin dance (per Wiki). I didn’t remember DWTS including Jive in the latin dance category so I did a bit of research to see what DWTS typically calls “latin”. All the way back to season 17, it was A.Tango, Paso, rumba, Salsa, Samba and Cha Cha. In season 17, the included 3 Jives, but no salsa or Cha Cha. Season 16 included a Jive dance off in Latin week. In season 14 they ONLY did Samba, Salsa and A. Tango. Seems that would gave been better to replace either Salsa or Samba with Cha Cha for a bit of obvious variety. I don’t expect we’ll be so lucky to only get 2 or 3 styles so they can compare the couples. Nah. That’s all the research I had energy for, so I included who did Jive in my list.
Laurie – Cha Cha, Jive, Paso
Calvin – Cha Cha
Marilu – Jive, Paso
Maureen – Salsa, A.Tango
James – Paso, Cha Cha
Jana – Jive
Ryan – Cha Cha
Terra – Samba
Amber – Salsa, A.Tango, Samba
Interesting that they gave Terra Paso Doble – I think that one will be a bit more difficult than, say, a Cha Cha or Salsa. Amber got the easier Cha Cha…although I’m not sure about Maks’ Cha Cha Choreo. I expect that Laurie will get the easier Salsa over the Samba or A. Tango, as they’ll want her back at the top of the leader board again. I expect Marilu getting salsa or Cha Cha is too much to hope for – I’ll expect to see the Samba. Or worse – A.Tango which could look too much like Tango or Paso for the unwashed masses. Calvin will be interesting as well. James can likely handle anything at this point, but another more social dance like salsa would be interesting. Maureen – I think she was overscored on her salsa, and A.Tango is quite different from a cha cha or a Samba.
ETA: Here’s all the info from the ABC press release. Pleasantly surprised by Marilu’s dance for something different…but can we talk about Calvin’s song?? That’s got to be a joke, right? And seriously…Selena Gomez? Ugh. As per usual, Laurie gets the easiest dance of the night and allows her to dance right in her wheelhouse….whereas her main competition James is doing rumba. Pretty much called that one.
ETA2: Well, well, well – per George, the Laurie favoritism continues. (He didn’t say that, he gave the order – I’m saying the Laurie favoritism is continuing 🙂 ) But, amazingly, they did manage to get Calvin in the second half of the show and Terra and James OUT of the second half of the show. Why they have to play in the fairness game but Laurie doesn’t…bah.

I would like to see Laurie do a Samba and Calvin & Ryan do Paso’s. James either a Samba or Salsa.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I would like to see Marilu do a AT or a rumba. I know she already did a tango but I know she wants to do an AT on the show.I think it will be different from the dances she did before.I think if she does a salsa or samba she will struggle but maybe I’m wrong. I would like to see James do a salsa or samba.
Great post. Thanks for all the research! No wonder Amber starts looking very one note to me given she has not done any typical ballroom. I think if James has any weakness, and that is a big if, I would expect him to have a weaker Latin week, but we will see. By the way, I never thought that jive is considered a Latin dance. I guess I was wrong.
I wanna see James do a rumba. I think he could do a good job with it.
Sorry, I just realized Amber did foxtrot and V. Waltz. My bad.
I’d like to see Marilu do an AT too…just not two weeks after doing a Paso and Tango.
As for James…I’m tempted to say he can do anything. Just worried he’ll prove me wrong. I don’t remember his cha cha being overly strong.
Rumba would be a real test for James – that would be interesting to see. It’s sort of his turn to take a tumble to the bottom of the leader board while Laurie regains the top spot, so it could happen.
I want James to either do Jive or Rumba. I think that they are the couple with the most chemistry, and it would make a lot of sense. Maureen and Artem do a Cha- Cha, since she already did a Salsa. I wanted Terra to do a Paso, so I am happy about that, I think it will be something new we have seen. I want Ryan and Cheryl to do something that is really hard either the Rumba or Samba, ALTHOUGH I have a feeling they are going to give him the Salsa. It has been a while since we have seen Jana have to do something with really hard footwork or hip action, she can handle a cha-cha. I don’t really care much for Marilu and Derek.
Calvin has been HAPPY- Go-Lucky all season. I want to see a manly role out of him and do either an Argentine Tango or a Paso Doble, and have Lindsay PUSH him!!! Overall it will be a great night. It is one of my favorite weeks in the ballroom.
Honestly, I’m excited to see terra tackle the paso. A bit bummed that maks and Amber have cha cha becuase she just had samba but honestly as long as she has more fun than she had this week it’s an improvement. If I could make any request (please please please tptb if you are reading this) it would be for Calvin to get the paso or one of the tangos, James a samba or rumba and Marilu and Derek a salsa or rumba.
Hit submit too early: I’m going to hope that they give Ryan the paso becuase it would be sad if they don’t get a paso out of Cheryl this season.
Excited that they brought Latin Night back (even though its a hot mess at times). I just hope RYan and Cheryl get an Argentine Tango(fingers crossed).
I’m hoping James gets a salsa aslo and might perform to “Green Light” (for obvious reasons) by Pit, Flo Rida, LunchMoney Lewis …but if not I’m sure TPTB will use this song…its on the radio everywhere maybe just a performance? But, the lyrics suit James. I better stop listening to the radio on my way to work just so I don’t get Pit overflow.
My guesses for Latin Night:
Laurie and Val: Salsa
Ryan and Cheryl: Argentine Tango (hope Cheryl choreographs a great one if so)
Marilu and Derek: Samba
James and Sharna: Salsa or Rumba not sure…Rumba final guess.
Calvin and Lindsey: Rumba
Maureen and Artem: Cha Cha or Paso…wanna go with Paso.
Jana and Gleb: Samba
Amber and Maks: Cha cha
Sasha and Terra: Paso Doble
Hope Mandy choreographs a great opening similar to season 20’s week 3!
If they include Rumba I bet they’ll assign it to Jana and Gleb for the sexy.
I don’t think I really care what dances folks are assigned. What I do care about, though, is the music. I pray for Latin night having actual Latin rhythm music. Not hip hop, or rap, Hispanic or otherwise.
Also, fyi after the show Rob Wade was pulling all the pros in the red room. Saw it via all access… I just wonder what it was for hehe..?. Maybe a pro number
I was hoping Amber would have a Rumba or Paso this week because something like Cha-Cha might be a sort of re-hash of this past week. Anything other than a Rumba for Terra would have been fine by me-I want to see her do something totally different than this week and it looks like I’m getting my wish with the Paso for her.
I would also like to see Jana take on Paso (she’s another “anything but a Rumba” person for me). Would like to see James and Maureen do Rumba though, or maybe Argentine Tango for James. Hoping to see both Laurie and Marilu do AT at some point, but not this week. As for Calvin and Ryan, I’m cool with anything that’s not just light and happy.
I would love to see Marilu dance something happy and fun to keep her momentum going. I’m not ready to see her dance anything intense and serious this coming week. Their smiles were so beautiful this week, and I want more more more. I would love to see Mr. Adorable (Calvin) to go serious and intense in an Argentine Tango. Those are my only two preferences for dances, and agree with Psychee22 about wanting great Latin music. Latin music makes me happy and want to dance, baby! 🙂
Agree with ^^^ thinking that they’ll give Jana and Gleb the Rumba, seeing as they’re pegged as the couple with such “sizzling chemistry” – Bruno said week 1 that they’re Rumba would be “explosive”, I honeslty think he’ll have a heart attack if that’s the case! ??
Since James just got a Ballroom Tango, I doubt he would have AT now. Samba is a beast for a lot of contestants so he might get that.
If he gets Rumba it might be okay for him since he and Sharna have no issue with chemistry, and he is the kind of guy who is that student that would be working on cuban motion to improve on the cha cha. I don’t think he’ll crash and burn on Latin like Evan Lysacek, who probably didn’t have the time to work on it given his schedule. It is tough for a lot of men to get the upper body fluidity required and that can look mechanical. But I think of the guys left, James’ work ethic will probably prove him well.
They may give the Rumba to Laurie and Val, since they were called out for chemistry on the Paso. The challenge for Val is to give her an age appropriate Rumba that doesn’t look skeevy. Mark and Shawn, and Mark and Sadie were both very good Rumbas for teenagers, and since Laurie has not been treated with kid gloves the way other “kids” have been on this show, I think they can go there. It will be up to Val to not phone in the choreo this time.
I dont think Salsa will be a challenge on technique, but we have not seen lifts or tricks from James. Calvin and Ryan have both shown how well they can perform lifts, but Helio Castroneves was not a lifter, and since James is very similar body type to Helio lifting may not be his strong suit. If they get Salsa the trick will be doing tricks that are not necessarily strength moves but something more inventive. During cirque week it was very clever that Sharna got troupe members to lift James at the end of the routine, instead of he lifting her. Sharna has traditionally been the one to showcase amazing (one armed) strength lifts with her partner, James is different.
I could see the show giving Marilu an AT to bring her up in the standings. She has already performed a Tango, but this would be a redemption of sorts, and a nice contrast to that lovely VWaltz from week 5.
I’d love to see Calvin do a Paso, especially if it’s a more traditional bullfighter/cape one, with more traditional music. I think he’d look really striking out there on the floor.
I do love Rumba, so it’d be nice to see one or two. I think Amber might benefit more from a Rumba than a Cha Cha. It’s slower and more intimate feel would seem to suit her, although the lack of connection between her and Maks might be more glaring in a Rumba.
I’ll take Hinch&Sharna dancing in anything.
I think Marilu would kill an AT.
I second the hope that we get actual, appropriate Latin music and not hip hop, pop songs and whatnot. Of course, we’ll probably get at least one Pitbull song. Blergh!
#11 EmnEm, good idea about hoping Cheryl&Ryan get an AT. Cheryl and Argentine Tango is like donuts and coffee, so good together!
Giving Jana and Gleb rumba might be the kiss of death in a way – they’re already a bit one-note. They need something stronger and tougher that will differentiate this dance from their others.
But Casanova, Marilu has done both Paso and Tango, and Amber has had both Salsa and Samba….I don’t know that the producers care too much if they are pigeon holing a couple by giving them similar-ish dances. That said…I would like to see him do a Samba as well. That would be a true test.
As for Laurie, I’m not really interested in seeing her do a rumba…mainly because I don’t think Val has the chops to give her one that would be age appropriate. This is a guy whose middle name is practically “showmance”. Anyway, while I think that Val needs to be really tested on this show the way other pros have been, I don’t think it should happen at Laurie’s expense. Hard to remember she is just a kid.
As for Marilu, I’m wondering if they might not try to keep her down – Derek is a threat, once he figures out his partner and how to get her where she needs to go.
Hmm, well they are giving Amber Cha Cha so I guess it is about building on what she can do?? I thought she had AT? Anyway, you’re right about boxing in Marilu, I guess I always anticipate a strong AT from Derek, so that tends to really help the contestant when the pro is so good at it. Since she’s starting to beat her insecurities, Marilu could do well with Salsa, and Derek could showcase her atheticism. I am really astonded at how fluid her movement is, given that she’s 64 – she moves like a woman half her age.
Part of me wants James to get Salsa, simply because Sharna’s never done a non-trio Salsa on the show.
Oops, hit publish too soon.
And also, Sharna didn’t get to do any fast Latin last season, either. Antonio’s only fast Latin was Switch Up week.
I noticed Calvin got the Argentine Tango. This should be a great opportunity for him to move up.
I think Marilu will KILL a rumba or A. Tango. Marilu and Derek had amazing chemistry in the V. waltz, and I really do want to see a traditional rumba from her. She has the maturity and fluidity lacking from rest of the cast. But I’d rather see them save those for later in the season.
I wouldn’t mind Derek doing a Samba on a week that Len was away. Len does not seem to be a fan of Derek’s creative sambas.
Marilu is dancing a cha cha
You need to give us five seconds to actually update the post, soph.
I feel sorry for Calvin and Lindsay. I can’t even imagine an Argentine Tango to “Hotel California”. I hope they can remix it somehow to work.
They couldn’t just use a Gotan Project song or something? Why “Hotel California” out of all things?? Same goes for Jana’s song ..
So many Latin artists and songs and we get a Rumba to a James Bay song for the, what, third time? I lost count, feels like more. Lol
I was thinking they’d give Laurie a song by Pitbull because why not.
Looking forward to seeing how Marilu handles the ChaCha and I can’t wait to see what a Sasha Paso looks like. I think Calvin and will do great despite their weird songs. Laurie will probably have a “big comeback” with her Salsa. I do remember James not being 100% confident with the ChaCha but I think he’ll do well with a Rumba.
Ryan I worry about.. and Maureen as well.
Woops. Meant to say “I think Calvin and Jana will be fine” *
Also adding: Amber’s song is probably one of the most “Cha-Cha” sounding songs they’ve had in a while. It’s also kinda on the slow side which is probably great for Amber.
I’ll keep hoping someone, someday dances to “Smooth” by Santana… (other than Toni Braxton a long time ago).
I actually think a slow guitar Acoustic version of Hotel California could work for a Sexy Argentine Tango…It could actually work and Let’s be honest,Lindsay is never a let down.She will find a way!
Because I have great faith in Sharna’s choreography skills and in James ability to learn and dance his butt off I am anticipating a great rumba. These two are gorgeous together and rumba is, after all, the dance of love. It should be a visual treat.
Now “Hotel California” completely came out of left field. I guess I need to Google that song to see who wrote it or sings it, because that is the furthest thing from Latin you could get. Rosa, you had a very interesting point about using acoustic guitar and quite inspiring my dear! Maybe they’ll read your suggestion. Haha One thing for sure, they are putting Lindsey’s creativity to the test. Weird song choice for sure.
Ok. I’m eating my words. I looked up “Hotel California” and Emmerson Nogueira’s version on youtube is pretty perfect and full of Latin flavor. I should Google before commenting. ? note to self.
Oh Sheri, that version is nice. Maybe a little more punch and it could work.
I love “Hands to Myself” but that as an Argentine Tango? For Jana and Gleb, out of all people? Hello week 1 Viennese Waltz, I can see it being all sort of steamy already.
Yay for “Mas Que Nada”! I liked the song better as a Salsa (it felt more social to me) but love the song nonetheless. So James is doing the first Rumba of the season? I don’t remember him doing great on his Cha-cha either but hopefully he won’t be too stiff.
Amber got another Latin, and a party one at that? She is gunning hard for that Joanna Krupa record of doing five Latin dances in a row I see lol, but even Joanna had the Foxtrot relay in between.
The band will find a way to make it work. Remember Ginger and Val’s AT last season, I didn’t they an AT to Bad Romance made sense but the bad got their hands on it and made it work.
Well they sure are giving James the technical dances, but I think this should be pretty good. This guy can emote like nobody’s business. I’m doubtful that the judges will score high but you never know. Hopefully he can collect the receipts from his first 5 weeks of strong performances with the fans.
Getting the Salsa is a gift for the two athletes. An easy dance heavy on tricks I would be shocked if Laurie doesn’t get another 30. Ryan is a good forklift and should get some 9’s even a 10. No doubt there will be an open shirt and eye candy on display. I’m not mad at it.
Nice to see Calvin getting a shot to break out with an intimate dance. Hotel California has a latin flavor in its guitar riff, so depending on the arrangement it shouldn’t be rock n roll.
So we get to compare his AT with Jana and Gleb. I’m rooting for Calvin but Jana showed some nice lines on the contemporary. We may see some similar lifts, and hopefully they will be cleaner. She is definitely a gamer, so it will be interesting to watch.
Terra and the Paso Doble. I’m sure she will kill it. But, being a little person I don’t know if it will have the gravitas of an intense Paso.
Maureen and the Samba. Oh this could be a worry.
Marilu and the Cha Cha – no doubt she’s got this, she did well on her jive and this is easier to have fun with.
Amber and the Cha Cha – it will be better than the Samba, but how much better? That depends on Amber.
Could someone be kind enough to remind me if the pros pick the song and the dance or do TPTB pick.
Think it’s a mixture Lynn. TPTB have the final decision always but pros have input. I can certainly imagine certain pros having input this week. Maureen is doing a samba to a song Artem has done before for a celeb on SCD and Val once again has an EDM/modern song that he seems to get all the time for latin dances. Plus James Bay is used once again, he’s starting to join the likes of Pitbull in the go-to songs category for TPTB.
Thank you M8.
@Susan2: I was hoping it would be this week. But, I hope they make it another week and do get the AT. I am excited for their salsa though. Love their song…great beat and I don’t recall a memorable salsa from Cheryl so I’m hoping this one is great and she uses Ryan’s strength for some great lifts. Obviously, Laurie and Val will probably get all 9s and a 10 compared to Ryan.
Terra and Sasha’s paso song is an all time favorite of mine. Hope their performance can live up to such a great beat. The song can benefit them in a way because there are slow and fast parts…I guess it depends how they cut the music. They had someone else do a paso to the same song, I just can’t remember who it was.
Amber’s song is hilarious. Kinda like what I say in my head when her or Val speak. Hehe. The song is slow enough for her to walk her way through it with slow hip action. I’d like to see her get a challenging song and show different sides to her other than the obvious OTP sexual glamour.
If James can manage to (and I have no doubt that he will) pull off a great rumba he may me the most memorable of the night…ultimately getting those votes in.
Well, Rosa, I’m not really a believer in making it as hard as possible on the professionals by giving them ridiculous music. To date, Derek is the only one that has consistent success with crap music that doesn’t really go well with the theme or dance – and even he has struggled in the past, on team dances where they pick shit music. Lindsay may be just fine – but why make it harder?
They get to give input…but often get over ruled due to theme or other “reasons”. It’s nothing like it used to be where the pro had almost total control over the song. Never the dance style – that’s always been dictated to them, as far as I remember. There’s video from back in the day of Cheryl listening to songs the producer had brought her when her original didn’t clear and she’s like “Nope, not that one…”
I really want Laurie and Val to do the samba. Baby Shakira will slay the salsa, but I think she has the chops to dance something more technical.
Thank you Heidi.
Hotel California? I just can’t see that being used for Latin Night.
Ugh, Pitbull! At this point I am convinced he has some sort of blackmail material on one of the producers. He is such a useless guest judge.
I’m glad we are seeing at least 1 Rumba, although I would have liked a few more. I’m excited to see James in a softer, romantic dance. He and Sharna have great chemistry.
Calvin hasn’t done a latin dance since week 1, so I’m a little disappointed he got Argentine Tango- especially to that song. I have a lot of faith in Lindsay though.
Laurie has already burned through Paso, Jive, and Cha Cha Cha, so I wasn’t surprised by Salsa. I’m actually looking forward to hopefully seeing Laurie is some full length ballroom dances, but I expect Salsa will be good.
I’m really excited and Marilu and Derek. Cha Cha Cha isn’t one of my favorite Derek styles, but I’m thrilled she has something more fun to really show off her smile and energy.
I’m concerned about Terra and Paso and Maureen and Samba, and I feel like a Jana/Gleb A. Tango to that song is just going to be more of the same. I’ve been ready for Amber to go for a few weeks now, and I don’t think her Cha Cha is going to be much better than her other dances, unfortunately.
I hate every song except for the ones Maureen, Marilu, and James have (I. Probably one of the few people that hates hotel California but that song is my least fav of the bunch by far….also that Selena Gomez song is Ann interesting choice but it’s just so blah).
An interesting song* Hit submit too early: who picked the songs? Last time I think pittbull said the songs were his favs or something so is it like that again?
can’t believe it’s the first time in 4 seasons that Derek will choreograph a cha cha. Hope he will be inspire by the song and choreograph a great one. Agree that some of the songs don’t match the dance style.
@Soph and Chayse, I was thinking the same thing. We’ll see a cha cha from him after a while. Interested to see his choreo for it.
Also, sometimes songs that don’t match the dance style end up being unforgettable dances. It really depends on whether or not and how they manipulate the song.
Derek did a AT/Cha Cha fusion with Bindi two seasons ago. He did a Cha Cha dance off with Bethany before that in season 19. He did a full cha cha with Amy in Season 18.
Hoping Derek and partner Was getting. Samba snice Len wasn’t here darn. Why didn’t Derek get the rumba that was I hoping he get For season 23. Week 6. Can Derek and partner get rumba the next week 7
Yeah but a full routine it was in S18 with Amy so it’s been a while. Excited to see what he creates
I imagine a Week 6 Cha Cha to be different in Derek’s mind than a Week 1 Cha Cha and he’s seldomly had Cha Cha’s later in the season. Jennifer Grey’s was later on and I really liked it, it was sassy and fun.
Is James’ injury that was so close to his hips affecting his hip movement in any way?
I can see James being great at rumba. Like Jay and Aliona in SCD last year. I love Calvin’s song but it’s definitely not an AT.
Hotel California for an Argentine Tango???
Musically until the guitar solo the song is pretty mellow. I mean there’s tension in the the song, but it’s a laid back tension. Ray Chew is going to have to re-work or embellish the song in order to be an appropriate AT song. And The Eagles, that great, iconic Latin American band!
?
Seriously, did Calvin accidently puke on Rob Wade’s shoes? Break his favorite coffee cup? Accidentally step on his dog?
Geri, I wonder too at how much range of motion Hinch has in his hips. As someone who’s had multiple abdominal surgeries, my biggest problem is scar tissue buildup that limits my abdominal movements. From what I can recall, he seems to be able to move that area fairly well. I have learned not to underestimate him though. If Hinch wants to move his hips in a certain way, he definitely has the will and fortitude to achieve it. He’s pretty damn amazing.
Hope the phone line is working for James/Sharna this week. Tried for two hrs., busy but some said they were able to vote for others. No mention from ABC.
That’s a good thing Beverly. Means lots of people are ringing his voting number.
Eh, you said “choreographed a cha cha” and he DID have to choreograph cha cha fairly recently.
And unfortunately, it’s going to look a bit like a Salsa because he thought they were doing Salsa because they were given Salsa music. This show. I swear. Posting excerpts of his blog in a minute and you guys will see what I mean.
Geri, I was thinking of his cha cha with Jennifer as well! Excited to see what he comes up with and how Marilu handles it. I wonder if he’ll do that body dip step that he did with Joanna Krupa in their lambada. I don’t know why I thought of that step…it just seems Marilu can handle it compared to a lift.
@Elena re: post #61 You made me go and watch this dance on Youtube and it was surprisingly good! I’m a sap for anything from Once…( hah I saw it twice on Broadway) and I’ve always thought a pretty Rumba to Falling Slowly would be beautiful. There’s lots of pressure for James to do as well as Jay. I’m not sure if the Rumbas are as exacting on DWTS as they are on Strictly, but if James and Sharna do as well you’re right it could be a gorgeous moment of tv.
As PH said, Derek is now calling it a Chalsa because for him it’s a Cha Cha to a Salsa song. Why couln’t they just give them the Salsa if they couldn’t give them a Cha Cha song?
Derek singing “falling slowly” makes me weak in the knees. And I’m so not a “weak in the knees” type. 🙂
That’s the age old question, ain’t it Geri?? Why, indeed? Makes you wonder.
Does Pitbull have some blackmail dirt on the producers or something. Why is he on this show every season! I don’t know one person who here’s the news & says, “Oh yes! I can’t believe they managed to get Pitbull. He seems like a nice man and all but, every season? Can’t they get Juanes to perform on Latin night. I think he’s been on before. There are a ton of great Latin artists that would probably love to perform on the show & I’d love to see them.
I’m kinda hoping Laurie and Val don’t go the hip hop Danica themed type of salsa with the downtown graffiti feel and instead perform a strict traditional salsa to an untraditional song.
And I hope Ryan and Cheryl stylize and choreograph their dance to a more modern type of salsa, and use laser lights and all and no Palm trees, sunset, or Caribbean vibes … rather than peform a Cuban salsa (which she may tap into since Ryan’s has Cuban blood or she likes the style).
Just a thought that it may be more interesting than what is obviously expected.
