First Official DWTS Season 18 Rehearsal Photos Released, More Official Photos
Quick Update: ABC MediaNet is starting to release new photos of the new cast rehearsing in the studio. Yo can see what they have so far at this link. So far, you can see Derek & Amy, Billy & Emma, and Peta & James. Keep checking back as they might be uploading more soon.
ETA: And now Getty Images has more!!
ETA2: The official site has posted a new gallery for the rehearsals photos. You can view them here.
Also, if you do a search a Getty Images for each person in the cast, you can see individual shots of them from the official photo shoot. They are awesome. I have a feeling the official site will be uploading them soon. So, keep checking there too. Thanks to Gitte for the heads up!
ETA3: Also is this new banner at Dancing With The Stars Facebook not cool? I’m loving it.
James is really looking good. Well Billy not so much. I’ll wait till I watch everyone dance to make my pick.
Amy and James look great! Billy… well, he looks like he’s trying and having fun… so that’s what counts!
Can’t wait for the next pics! And I am wondering why is it that we have only gotten 1 rehearsal video (Danica and Val’s) from the DWTS page? Hmmm..
Vogue, Do you know if the general public is allowed to set up an account on ABC MediaNet to open the thumbnails or is that a fee-based industry thing?
Aaww! Derek putting the shoes on Amy is so cute.
That giant DWTS light thingy in the purple rehearsal studio is new.
I agree Susan2 — Prince Charming putting on Cinderella’s glass slipper!
I think the huge Dancing With the Stars graffiti on in the red studio is new too. That one, with the steps, is the primo #1 studio isn’t it? I guess BillyDee gets the best room in the house because he’s BillyDee Williams.
Cids, you have to be “approved” to be able to get an account….and after that, it’s a fee based industry thing.
Thanks, Vogue. That’s what I figured. So glad you put up the Getty link so I could see larger images. The wee, postage-stamp sized ones on MediaNet just whet my appetite and leave me craving more. LOL
lol I agree!!!
Ok, the post has been updated with another link where you can view them even better. 😀
You’re too good to us, Vogue! *hugs* 🙂
So Maks and Witney are the poster children this season (the prodigal son and the new blonde hope for Julianne resurrected) — it works. I like it.
Hugs back at ya!! Thanks for looking again and I like your scenario! It would be so cool if Witney was a surprise force on this show as a pro. I can see this happening more so with her than Lindsay? We’ll soon see?
@Vogue re Witney, a huge (extremely biased) YES to that! I (biasedly) think that W has a lot of potential; I’ve watched her since her SYTYCD days! The one thing I’m worried about is that she overpowers Cody too much. This past season, she came back as an all star to dance with Fikshun. And boy, was that a sexy foxtrot! But she did do a good job at staying in the background during Corbin’s trio last year.
I think that Jenna from the troupe has the potential to go pro eventually. She is a better dancer that Lindsay, to a certain extent, and she has Witney’s draw. So I’m excited to see if that goes through.
Boy, that was a tangent.
Vogue, I think Witney could definitely be that. Her and Cody were on enews last night and they showed them rehearsing and she’s got some tricky choreo planned.
I agree with you aviva, Jenna will def become pro before Linds. she is a stronger dancer and she has the same performance quality of witney. Jenna also has A LOT of teaching experience, she has taught privates at Center Stage since she was 15 and she 19.
Considering that the troupe is now the only well from which they’re drawing new pros, I’d say anyone that’s in the troupe has a decent chance of being called up to be a pro in the future. If TPTB don’t think you can hack it as a pro, they won’t put you in the troupe – this is from an inside source.
