DWTS Tacky Dance Themes

So I was going through old dances and remembered how on Season 10 there was a “Movie Night” where every dance was a theme song to a movie. But there have been other dances that were done over the seasons that were themed to a movie in the past… So stemming from “Movie Night” and some of the tackiest dances to come with it, I decided to come up with a few dances from the past that were just as tacky, if not funny šŸ˜‰

EDIT: So what is my criteria for a “tacky” dance theme? Three simple factors naturally (music, costumes, nuances), but they all have to tie into one thing: the television or movie program that they are tied to. Each factor will be rated on a scale of one (not that tacky) to three (way too tacky). You’ll see what I mean as I go through each dance.

Season 4: Joey Fatone & Kym Johnson
Dance: Tango
TV/Movie Program: Star Wars
Tackiness Quotient
Music: Star Wars Theme Song… enough said. Score: 3
Costuming: So we have Kym dressed up as a Princess Leia wannabee, and Joey Fatone starting off as a Jedi Knight, complete with a lightsaber. Granted Joey shedded the cloak and had a suit underneath rather than the Jedi cloths that are so prevalent in the movies, so it wasn’t totally tacky, but still. Score: 2.5
Nuances: First they started the package with having R2D2 in rehearsal, and then the dance started with a lightsaber sequence? Yeeeaaaah, how about no? I’ll give them props in having Joey wearing a suit rather than a full Jedi getup, so it’s not totally tacky, but darn it’s high up there. Score: 2
Conclusion: Total Score: 7.5 out of a possible 9.
Yes, I think this dance was tacky, but hey, Joey likes Star Wars so I can’t fault him for that. In fact Joey liked this dance so much that he wanted to reprise this dance for the finale… Que sera sera.

Season 3: Joey Lawrence & Edyta Sliwinska
Dance: Tango
TV/Movie Program: Addams Family
Tackiness Quotient
Music: Addams Family Theme Song… again enough said. Score: 3
Costuming: Edyta as Morticia and Joey Lawrence as a taller, skinnier, and mustache-less Gomez? uh… Well it doesn’t necessarily invoke the movie as much as one would think so… Score: 2
Nuances: The dance steps are pretty cut and dry, and it didn’t really invoke the Addams Family mood, let alone the “tango” dancing that Morticia and Gomez are known for.. so Score: 1
Conclusion: Total Score: 6 out of 9.
So this dance happened because waaaay back when, Season 3 happened to coincide with Halloween, as thus every song danced for “Halloween Night” had some sort of spooky theme to it. And what is a Halloween Night without an Addams Family dance?

Season 3: Monique Coleman & Louis van Amstel
Dance: Cha Cha
TV/Movie Program: Ghostbusters
Tackiness Quotient:
Music: The Ghostbusters? Eh, not as bad… but still pretty bad. Score: 2
Costuming: So they both started with the Ghostbusters getup before stripping? But what the frack is Monique wearing? Forget what she was wearing, look at her make-up and hair! Ugh! Just for that alone.. Score: 3
Nuances: For me, there wasn’t really anything that invoked the Ghostbusters as much as I would have thought. So they lucked out. Score: 1
Conclusion: Final Score: 6 out of 9
Same as above, what’s a Halloween Night without some ghosts? Who do you wanna call when there’s a ghost in the neighborhood? Ghostbusters! But in all seriousness, other than the song (and even the song wasn’t all that tacky) the dance to me seemed a bit cut and dry… so not really as tacky as other dances because it could have been a lot worse.

Season 7: Kim Kardashian & Mark Ballas
Dance: Foxtrot
TV/Movie Program: Pink Panther
Tackiness Quotient:
Music: Pink Panther Theme Song… It’s an instrumental, and more often than not instrumental piece don’t induce tackiness to me, but the Pink Panther (I believe) is a bit more widely known and as thus… Score: 2
Costuming: What’s the Pink Panther without a lot of PINK… ugh. Way too much pink for my liking… Score: 3
Nuances: Overall it’s a decent routine, for what it was. Lots of finger snapping and what not. There are times that I kind of cringed as thus this gets… Score: 2
Conclusion: Final Score 7 out of 9
Nobody pulls off pink better than… Mark! With some well placed nuances and what nots it isn’t a bad routine… it’s just ok for what it was.

September 7, 2010 I Written By

My life can be summed up in the following two quotes: 1) "I am married to engineering and am its faithful wife by day, but at night my wanderlust takes hold and the arts becomes my jealous paramour." and... 2) "Engineering is my safety net. Writing is my passion. Acting is my escape when the other two become too much." So where does dancing fit in? Pretty much anywhere at this point... =)

Dancing with the Stars – Who Wore it Better, Part VI

Alright kidsā€¦another week, another batch of 7 costumes to compare, contrast, and critique! And I know you all donā€™t agree wholeheartedly with everything Heidi & I have to say, so pleaseā€¦speak up.Ā  Show us that you give a damnĀ šŸ˜‰ (Heidi: Iā€™m in a really bad mood because this is turning into a 60 hour work week. Warning, warning!!)

Ā And again, many, many thanks to Marcela in Brazil for sending us a plethora of pictures of dittoed costumes that she foundĀ šŸ˜‰ VocĆŖ Ć© maravilhosa, Marcela!

Battle of the purple & pink heavily-stoned ballgown: Kimā€™s ā€œPink Pantherā€ foxtrot with Mark in season 7 vs. Chelsieā€™s preseason photo shoot in season 8

Courtney: As much as I donā€™t particularly care for Kimā€™s personality (especially her rather blasĆ© demeanor while she was on the show), I think this suits Kimā€™s complexion and hair color better than it does Chelsie ā€“ seems to make her look ruddy.Ā  But definitely one of my favorite ballgowns theyā€™ve ever had on the show ā€“ love the color combo and just the simplicity of the cut.Ā 

Heidi: I think it shortens Chelsieā€™s body too much ā€“ maybe the ankle length?? Or maybe just the pose. And I agree, it definitely goes better with the darker hair and completion on Kim.

The winner: Kim, in spite of her personality.

Battle of the yellow, cut-out, feathered Latin dress: Brooke in the samba smackdown in season 7 vs. Cheryl in the pro dance to Robin Thicke in season 8

Heidi: This is a stupid dress. I donā€™t like yellow, I donā€™t like the cutouts, I donā€™t like it on either of them. :::stamps feet::::Ā  šŸ˜‰

Courtney: Now I love yellow ā€“ but the cut of this dress is just silly-looking to me.Ā  Makes both ladies look like Tweety Bird or something.Ā  It also doesn’t do justice to professional American rhythm competitor Jaana Lillemagi. But since weā€™ve already determined that Cheryl can pull off yellow with her skin tone, Iā€™m gonna go with her.

The winner: Despite Heidi’s temper tantrum, Cheryl looks the best as a cartoon canary. šŸ˜‰

Battle of the royal blue satin cut-out Latin dress: Julianneā€™s cha-cha with Apolo in season 4 vs. Anna in the pro paso demo in season 8

Courtney: This dress is just extremely odd to me ā€“ doesnā€™t really feel like a Latin dress or a ballgown.Ā  And Anna, you know I love you to bits, but man ā€“ you look GHASTLY in this dress.Ā  I feel like it just makes Anna look pale, and something about the cut of it adds pounds to her otherwise flawless figure.Ā  Itā€™s not terrible on Julianne, per se; itā€™s just kind of a non-event.Ā  Not bad, but not great.Ā  So Iā€™ll go with Julianne.

Heidi: Boy, youā€™re reading my mind here. This dressā€™s structure is not flattering to either girl. Luckily for Julianne, she comes off a bit better, due mainly due to the pose. Anna, who has a perfect figure, looks almost like she has a spare tire. Itā€™s that stupid vertical pit of fabric, I think, combined with the straight cut across the hips.

The winner: Julianne by a pose.

Battle of the sparkly, gold, long-sleeve romper: Julianneā€™s freestyle with Helio in season 5 vs. Karinaā€™s pro dance with Derek to Selena Gomez in season 9

Heidi: Well, I have mad love for Karinaā€™s partner, plus I think it suits her hair and skin tone better. šŸ˜‰

Courtney: CAMEL TOE ALERT!!! Ladies, this is why skin-tight rompers should just be avoided altogether – itā€™s hard to mask this dreaded fashion faux pas.Ā  It makes it hard for me to even really like this costume on either lady ā€“ but since itā€™s not quite so visible on Karina, Iā€™m giving this one to her.

Heidi: Well I think that most of what youā€™re seeing is a function of fabric, camera angle and shadow. I donā€™t think there is a true camel toe (and god, even typing those words makes me throw up in my mouth a bit ā€“ thanks, Court).

Courtney: Camel toe is no laughing matter, my friend! Hehe šŸ˜‰

The winner: Karina, by a hotter partner and better angle.

Battle of the pink, fringy, sparkly Latin dress: Kymā€™s jive with Mark in season 5 vs. Marleeā€™s preseason photo shoot with Fabian in season 6

Courtney: Wow, what a difference lighting makes! I can assure you all that this is indeed the same dress ā€“ the lighting from Marleeā€™s photo shoot just really washes out the otherwise vibrant neon pink that we see in Kimā€™s jive. Iā€™m not particularly wowed by the dress on either lady.Ā  So again, I default to my wise cohort on this one šŸ˜‰

Heidi: Kym. Kym all the way. Better boobage, better lighting, a face full of joy. šŸ˜‰

The winner: Kym by default.

Battle of the black & white, sparkly patterned ballgown: Melissaā€™s foxtrot with Tony in season 8 vs. Anna in the pro dance to Michael Buble in season 9

Heidi: This is a pretty dress ā€“ I dig it. It looks good on both ladies, but I have to go with Anna, mainly because her shoes match better and I like her hair better. I donā€™t like the tight style that Melissa is wearing.

Courtney: Iā€™ve got to give this one to Anna ā€“ like with Lacey & the zebra dress last week, the little ā€œpopā€ of color of her red hair just seems to pair better with the black & white of the dress than Melissaā€™s darker hair.Ā 

The winner: Anna!! By a hairā€¦and a shoe.

Battle of the red, sparkly, ruffle-y, cut-out Latin dress: Marleeā€™s cha-cha with Fabian in season 6 vs. Shawnā€™s preseason photo shoot with Mark in season 8

Courtney: Either Iā€™m just getting sick of commenting on costumes (doubtful šŸ˜‰ ) or Iā€™ve seen this dress before ā€“ or rather, several dresses that seem nearly the same.Ā  What is it with the costume department and red, ruffle-y, sparkly Latin dresses for the ladies? Itā€™s becoming almost clichĆ©. I guess I pick Shawn for this one ā€“ for once, the overall look of a dress actually seems more ā€œfinishedā€ the 2nd go-round than it did for the first!

Heidi: Whoa. Marlee is WHITE. Way too white. Distractingly white. Gotta go with Shawn for her tan and her ear rings.

The winner: Shawn by a tan.

Ā 

You know you love lookinā€™ at costumes.Ā  So why not quell your appetite for fashion by reviewing parts I, II, III, IV, & V while you wait for next weekā€™s edition? šŸ˜‰
