Sneak Peek of First Dancing With The Stars Season 14 Dress Rehearsals In Full Costumes And Interviews (Videos)
This is sooo sooo COOL! I’m going to let this video say it all, ok? Enjoy from ET Online (if the video below doesn’t work for you, see the link)!!!!
ADDING: Go HERE to see some interviews from the Dress Rehearsals. Keep watching the link because they may add more soon!!
Lookin’ GOOD!!!!
not surprisingly….everyone is looking good, it seemed like it was going to be a good season. Excited to see the rest of the couples.
Cool!!!
But I think it’s the filming of the titlesequence though. 🙂
WOW! I am just SO FREAKING OUT!!!! What we are seeing so far of these couples, they are looking soo GOOD!!
I am especially surprised at Melissa’s dancing. She and Maks look really good together too. She reminds me of Jennifer Grey.
Jack is funny and so full of charm. Anna is so cute with him.
I got a kick out of Sherri being sassy too when she usually annoys me a little. Val is going to have his hands full with that one. lol.
Jaleel…wow to him too. I love Kym’s dress especially!
Gladys…beautiful and classy with Tristan the Gentlemen!!
I am soo loving this cast!! Can’t wait for more to be released.
Video not playing 🙁
Jack and Melissa seem to dance better than I imagined they would!
The others are fun too, only Sherri still annoys me…I don’t know what it is about her I just don’t like…
Cant wait to see more of the other couples too! Those 2 weeks are gonna be the longest…
@Gitte – I believe they actually film the title sequence & do the promo shoots all in the same day, since it requires full hair, makeup, & costume. All it requires is a change in backdrop – white for the photo shoot, green for the title sequence 🙂
And before anyone decides to “help out” by pointing out the dittoes, rest assured I have figured out all the ones I’ve seen so far – Anna’s wearing her cha-cha dress from last season, Kym’s wearing her jive dress from last season, Sherri’s wearing Niecy’s dress from the season 10 finale opener, and Melissa’s wearing Kym’s heavily-altered tango dress from her tango with Hines. Gladys’ dress is brand new, like Kristin’s from last season. Now if anyone WOULD like to help out, please find me a good-quality, front-facing, full-length picture of Niecy in that silver dress, because I’m running out of options, considering ABC has taken down all the pix from previous seasons and Hulu only has season 13 available to watch right now 😀
If the video doesn’t work, go to the ET Online link (in the first post).
Did anyone notice in the video how Anna felt the need to check the top of her costume? 😉 Looked like she was worried about a “wardrobe malfunction” there for a second!
wow – good performances – Melissa and Jack did much better than I would expect so early
@Courney I do have the episode so I can try to take a screen cap, where can i send it to you?
I meant @Courtney … *smh*
Wow wow wow! I’m very impressed with all the celebs we’ve seen so far (Melissa not so much, not sure why)!!! I’m rooting for Jaleel and I thought he and Roshon were going to be the best but I think they both got major competitions. Jack and Gladys are better than I thought at their ages. Until we see all the celebs in the promo shoots, I have no idea who may go home first. I don’t think it’s going to be any of those celebs we just saw now so I can’t wait to see more! Amazing!!! ABC finally got a good group of dancers. 🙂 Maybe now those who keep saying he or she can’t dance will finally shut up lol.
Vogue, thank you a million times. ***blows kisses*** What a great video!
I agree with you on Melissa. She was moving amazingly well. Exceeded my expectations, for sure! And lovely Tristan, the gallant knight 😉 on bended knee to the Empress of Soul.
Not going to bore everyone by running through the whole list. Basically, this bunch are all looking amazingly good. How great is that?
Hope we get Part 2 soon! Is it March 19 yet?!?
YW Cidra, blows kisses right back. I love how you described Gladys and Tristan!!
Courtney, good job with your photographic memory!!
Adding: and is Melissa’s red HAIR not gorgeous or what?!! I hope she never cuts it!
That was so much FUN to watch!!!
For sure, Melissa’s hair is fabulous. It gives me a case of serious hair envy. Bet the stylists can’t wait to really get their hands on it. Hope she lets them put it up, as needed, and not insist on having it long and flowing for every dance (a la Kirstie).
WOW, just WOW!! This season is going to be awesome. Gladys Knight looks ah-mazing.
I have so many favorites that I don’t even know where to start. Jaleel, Jack, and Gladys… I love them all.
Everybody looks good so far. This may turn out to be my favorite season. 🙂
In 2 weeks my favorites will take to the ballroom floor, liked what I seen in the promo, so with that said, wishing Sherri,Jaleel,Gladys and Martina whose promo I haven’t seen yet the best of luck, and dance, dance, dance!
Sally (#9) – Thanks for the cute catch – yep without missing a beat, and smiling all the while, Anna did a quick costume adjustment. I didn’t notice the first time around because I was focusing on Jack’s feet to see how he moved. After reading your comment, I paid particular attention to Anna the second time.
I think wem ight have two soap opera stars winning in a row. Jack was a very pleasant surprise.
might*
I think Jack Wagner is going to be a much bigger threat than most people give him credit for…
1.) Already showing a hell of a lot of natural talent and the ability to pick things up very quickly. Being coachable is also important. Cap that off with all those intangibles (charm, dramatic flair, musicality etc.) and you have someone with the ability to hit the dance floor running right out of the gate.
2.) Anna= this year’s version of Karina? People are really thinking that she’s waited long enough for the title. Does it translate into enough votes with Jack to get that chance? We’ll soon see.
3.) Don’t ever underestimate the power of someone’s fanbase. Trust me, just from General Hospital/ Soaps alone Jack’s fanbase is HUGE. Don’t believe it has a real impact? See Kelly Monaco, Season 1 champ. ‘Nuff said.
Everyone looks good but those are probably dance moves they been going over the last few days. Once the show start and they have less time to learn a new dance each week it’s going to be different story. Kym gave Jaleel some advance choreography already…he might be ahead of the others. Jack was ok, he was standed in one spot doing his cha cha. Kym actually had Jaleel moving around and they were in sync. Melissa and Sherri were ok. Glady’s looks great and moves good for her age. I need to see more rehearsel footage to really get a feel on how their going to do.
THANK YOU VOGUE – we can always count on you to bring us these delicious tidbits. Everyone we’ve seen so far (makes me hungry for more) is really really good. Granted, only a few steps they’ve probably been rehearsing for days (as someone said above), they all seem very at ease with it. Gladys & Tristan are going to be an awesome team, she seems to have tons of natural rhythm – well, we knew that LOL, just glad to see she can translate all of that mojo into her body moves.
YAY YAY YAY, keep ’em coming, Vogue 🙂
YW Linde and thank you for all your comments!!!!! 😉 They all look so good so far, don’t they? Now if we can only see the others?
I’ve said this before this is a great cast and so far they all can move. Whoever has the stamina and a likeable character will be in the finals. I definately hope Jaleel and Kym will be one of them.
Elimination Tuesdays could be painful.
I agree Tuesdays will be tough. Love the positive attitude of the celebs
So true. I’m not looking forward to the eliminations either.
And check the first post, All. A link for some interviews from the dress rehearsals has been added.
Thank you! They are all looking so good, some surprises there. Only 2 more weeks until we get to see them dance!
Well, it’s not really a dress rehearsal, as a few people pointed out. They do dress rehearsal with the full dance and the orchestra. This is just doing a move for the title shoots. As a result, I reserve judgement until we see full dances. I am looking forward to it though. 🙂
The posts and videos over the last several days made me realize how much fun this site is. It’s so nice, all things considered in the rest of the world/work, etc. that you guys put all this together for fans and fun.
I dunno, Patty, Soaps are being cancelled left and right and even the biggest Soap’s audience (Y&R) ain’t what it used to be. Isn’t it like a 10th of the DWTS audience or less?
Wow! I’m happily amazed at how good everybody looks! We’re in store for some great performances, I hope. I’m really liking Jack – he is a bit of a hot, sexy number. Gladys has charisma in spades; Melissa really has rhythm and Jalel is full of dancing fun. Can’t wait for this season to start! I agree, Tuesday eliminations are going to be hard. Of course, a big thanks again to the PWTS dream team for this fabulous site!
Sorry, meant PDWTS!
:::sigh::: I’ve always loved Jack. If Maria goes out early I will likely find myself voting for him and Jaleel.
Still reserving judgement though – seems like we have this same conversation every season. 🙂
Cant wait for this season to start. Season 14 wil replace season 10 as my favorite dwts season in terms of casting.
Of those shown, Melissa looks like she’s been doing this more than a few days. Nice moves, but think the scope of each her and Maks’ dancing may be mismatched (course this is only an early snippet, so…). Sherri has shown some smooth moves, but seemed limited here. Her top heaviness may hurt her. If Jack can pair his technical promise from rehearsal photos with his suave ease here, he’s got promise. Jaleel no doubt has moves, but I see some potential ackwardness there too (again, it’s early, and he’s got one of the best in Kym). Gladys poses really well, lol.
my favorites to watch are Jaleel, Jack, Gladys, Martina. I think Derek will be challenged with Maria.
Agreed. It’s pretty hard to extrapolate great dancing from a few moves for a title shoot. However, that said, I’m still cautiously optimistic that this bunch (as a whole) has a higher natural talent quotient than those from the last couple seasons. The celebs at least seem to be moving. Of course, these could be the only moves they have (scary thought) 😉 Hope the other half of the cast moves as well.
“The posts and videos over the last several days made me realize how much fun this site is. It’s so nice, all things considered in the rest of the world/work, etc. that you guys put all this together for fans and fun.”
Just wanted to second this. Regardless of how the show goes (or how much I may gripe about it), I always appreciate the effort, information and forum associated with this site.
Derek is always challenged in one way or another and I think he likes it like that. I’m not too worried – but then I never get invested in a “win” anymore. Derek fans have been blessed to have him stick most of the season every time.
Vogue, thanks for adding the link for additional title shoot interviews. Just checked ’em out.
Gladys and Tristan: Gladys is a lovely woman; and Tristan, bless him, is still a bit star struck. I’m sure that will fade as they spend more time in the studio and he has to take charge (as her teacher) in order to get her ready to do her best each week.
Jaleel and Kym: I know a lot of folks want him to do the Urkel thing; but I agree with him – it has to be at the right time; if there’s no place for it, then don’t try to shoe-horn it in.
Melissa and Maks: They were having fun with each other. I really hope that’s the way they’ll continue to roll.
Well, right now Im rooting for all of them. I think I’m just going to be stupid and not vote this season. I’d rather do that then vote for everyone once the entire show.
Where is Karina and Gavin??!! 😉 Jack my end up being something of a comedian! lol
**might! lol
Love this, they are looking good. Jack’s my early voting fav, it’s all about Frisco!
But watching this makes me want ABC to release DVDs of all the past seasons with all this background stuff that I’m sure they filmed and just never aired/released….
I am sorry, but Jack is a cutie. 🙂 And dang, where’s Derek? I was hoping for a sneek peek. I hope the judges don’t slam him like they often do with the ‘actor’ of the cast. Ralph, Ian, David Arquette (although Carria Ann had a tingle for David).
I’m referring to Jack with the slam comment. Not Derek.
Love these! Love Frisco too! Of course, he has charm, he’s Frisco!
I’m missing the Derek and Maria photos though! I hope this isn’t more of “Maria’s on Extra”, so ET won’t show them. 😥
I think you can guarantee that ET will work hard to make sure Maria never gets noticed. Kinda like they pimped the hell out of Donny Osmond so that he got ten times more coverage than any other celeb.
Starting to think that Maria making it past the half way point will be a miracle. The only thing she has in her favor right now is Derek. If she can’t dance? Trouble.
It’s just so hard to tell without seeing them dance, but I agree that Maria won’t make it to the final three. That sucks, cuz I want to see as much of Derek as possible!

@Manny – I just sent an email to the address you provided when you made your comment 🙂
Did anyone see the segmant on GMA this morning? I missed it but i’m pretty sure it was today. 🙂
I’ve been waiting and so far nothing, Zach. I’m wondering if it’s going to be delayed until tomorrow because of some other new items that took up the time?
Oh, maybe so. Thanks. 🙂
The GMA thing aired around 8:20ish. Just a report with Cameron basically with some clips from the post-announcement interviews and the dress rehearsal video.
Okay I just sent my “input” to Access Hollywood re: their lack of Maria and Derek coverage and I want to contact ET as well, but I can’t find any contact info for them. Anyone have any ideas? ❓
Meggie, like Heidi said, ET will try to make sure they won’t mention or notice Maria. I think this makes sense because she is a reporter for an Entertainment news show so I think those Entertainment news sources covering Maria a lot might be a conflict of interest. In other words, they might be biased because Maria works/worked with Extra, ET, Access Hollywood etc…
