Dancing with the Stars Season 16 – PRO WATCH!!

The post started getting long and confusing, so I decided to move the current standings up to the top of the page. There are supposedly 12 couples, so things can still get interesting. :-)

Current Standings:

Male Pros
Derek
Val
Tony
Mark
Gleb Savchenko
Tristan

Female Pros
Cheryl
Lindsay
Sharna
Peta??
Karina
Kym

Out For the Season
Chelsie
Anna
Maks (???)
Lacey
Louis

ETA: See Karina’s facebook and Lacey’s twitter for the source of my latest updates. Late on Saturday before the announcement and we still have some HOLES in our roster. Hmmmmm…
ETA2: DWTSGossip tells someone that Tristan is in, but doesn’t actually tweet it outright. Uncertain?

ETA3: Louis tweets that he’s not going to be on this season, which is not too big of a surprise.  An ambiguous tweet from @DWTSGossip makes us wonder if Maks really is out or not…and it appears as though Lizzie Grubman may have flown to LA yesterday.  Emma confirms she’s in the troupe again this season (and is not a pro), which leaves us wondering: who is this mysterious 12th pro??? 8-O

ETA4: And the mysterious fourth pro appears to be Gleb?? It is very obnoxious of me to say this just cuz I’ve never heard of the guy…but is this a joke??

ETA5: And I must give props to Miss Sally for picking up on the suspicious ”What a beautiful day!” comment Kym tweeted at 4:26 AM Sydney time – which is actually 9:26 AM Los Angeles time…because DWTSGossip is reporting Kym is IN as the last female pro 8-) Looks like Tristan has also been confirmed as the final male pro, which leaves Maks & Henry out in the cold.  Interesting…

Confirmed Sooper Troupers
Witney Carson (according to Grant’s source)
Sasha Farber
Emma Slater

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

I'm a fashion and music nut....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together. Derek Hough (one of my favorite dancers) said at a recent Get Healthy event that ‘dancing’ is an outward expression of what is going on inside you. He says that in some ways, everyone dances and it's so true. To TPTB, how about this song for next season's theme song? Robin G Ft. Wilunleashed - A Good Time (Original) // Download High Quality

Dancing With The Stars Pros Dance For Hospice In Pensacola, Florida

The pros of Dancing With The Stars are certainly having a busy summer so far. Such is true for Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani, Val Chmerkovskiy, Dasha Chesnokova and Lacy Schwimmer. This week the three took off for Pensacola, Florida to dance and attend the third annual “Life’s a Dance” benefitting Covenant Hospice which took place at the Pensacola Saenger Theater. According to pnj.com, last year’s event raised $58,000. No doubt this years benefit raised the same amount of money if not more?

What’s more, following the show, VIP ticket holders were invited to an exclusive casting party that took place place in the Saenger’s mezzanine and ballroom, where they ate, drank and mingled with the stars. All three dancers tweeted how much fun they had at the benefit. Below are some videos of Tony and Lacey dancing;

You can view a few more videos of the event HERE including one of Maks joking with the crowd.

Lacey posted this picture of Tony and Maks at her twitter while in Florida of the two funning around.

Special Note: This isn’t the first time our pros have danced for this Benefit. In 2009, Derek Hough and Mark Ballas danced. You can read a cool fan story on them at Pure Derek Hough at this link.

Are our Dancing With The Stars pros the coolest or what?!! :)
