Dancing with the Stars Season 20 – Things That Make You Go Hmmmm….Shane Harper?
Large word of caution – this is based on very, very little. Thing is, last time we posted something similar, Cody Simpson really did dance. And the last time I ignored something like this, I shouldn’t have (Hines Ward). And you can’t deny the timing is about right. So, this from Shane Harper – many of his fans immediately assumed DWTS. Thing is, this guy is an actual trained dancer – if he’s actually cast, he would be a massive ringer. Also FYI – he’s apparently VERY tall. 🙂
P.S. There is a Shane Harper that is a hockey player but I checked several times to make sure I had the right one. This one is 6 foot plus, 21-year old singer, dancer actor. I can’t believe they would cast someone who is well trained enough to claim to be “Principle Dancer” in a variety of TV shows and movies, but consider his age and the producers obsession with the youth demo. That said, he can’t touch the online following of either Cody or James.
I’ve known him for a while for his singing but I just saw his extensive dance experience. Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Tap? Sounds like a male Janel Parrish. Or even another Danica McKellar? Idk.. Hmmm…
I wanted him on the show a while back so if he is on I wouldn’t mind. He is pretty popular with the teens with his show on MTV and for being Bridgit Mendler’s boyfriend. I’d rather them have Bridgit Mendler instead of him but, whatever. I say bring him on. We need the celebs with experience to keep the show interesting. He’s tall so maybe he could get Peta (I don’t know this for a fact but I think she’s the tallest female… Am I wrong?). I’d like him with Peta or Emma. Would be nice to see Emma with someone that’s actually good 😛
To me Peta has had one or two partners similar to this guy before. If he is cast, I hope Emma gets him. I would love for her to finally have a young partner with some skills. Please no more Michaels for Emma!
Awesome. Bring him on!!
Adding: I like this actor too. He’s been in a recent dance movie I saw called “Dance Off” with Kathryn McCormick. The movie wasn’t great but, I loved his dancing.
I’ll be putting big money on this guy to win if he gets cast.
I just finished watching some clips of Shane… I like him. I won’t be disappointed if he is cast.
If his Wiki isn’t wildly overstated by some fan, he would be a bigger ringer than Janel – and Danica too, when you factor in the youth advantage. But he wouldn’t have as big a fanbase vote as either woman.
I don’t mind ringers either – I just love pointing them out all the time to remind people that EVERYONE gets a ringer from time to time. Not just Derek. He’s on the low end of ringer partners at this point. 🙂
Yeah, people put lots of money on Janel too, M8. Depends on who else is dancing, as always.
Anyone who put money on Janel at anytime during last series deserved to lose their money. 😀
I’m torn about this one. My sister loves this guy and loved him on Good Luck Charlie (Disney kids……always a fun demographic). In fact, there is an episode where he teaches the blonde actress how to dance and whatever. Anyways, I’m guessing he would be really good. Now the other part of me is thinking he is probably Janel 2.0 but from what I’ve seen in his interviews, he is actually normal so I’m ok with that. My only fear is that we might have another Cody Simpson in terms of personality,
I hit submit too quickly. If he does the show, I hope they pair him with Emma or Allison (if she is back….which I hope she is because she definitely had a learning experience as a pro and finally figured it out with jonathan’s jazz routine and a couple of his other dances….that Gatsby tango comes to mind too).
In my opinion, get Shane and his girlfriend Bridgit Mendler to both compete so we can have our first couple competing against one another since Jewel and Ty Murray didn’t work out. I still can’t believe this hasn’t happened yet bc its such a cool concept.
Time to hit Google again. I’m so out of it, I never heard of the guy.
I think he would be fun! It’s a yes, in my opinion. I have liked him in all the tv shows and movies that I’ve seen of him. I would love to see him with Emma too.
I agree, Emma is due for someone like a Shane. Don’t know him, but going to look him up.
Shane is a handsome talented young man and would be a good role model. I’m all for bringing him on the show, and Emma would be the perfect person for him. I’m going to order his two movies he played in, as I listened to his song Hold You Up and watched the tailer to the movies both of them. Also, he doesn’t have any upcomings to tie him up. like PHeidi said, I can’t believe they would cast someone well-trained; but then again, who knows, they done it before. And, I agree that TPTB seem to lean towards the younger side of things.
