The Dancing Poetry Corner – The Hollywood Boulevard Rock

Welcome Back Everyone to The Dancing Poetry Corner! And to Season 21 of Dancing With The Stars! Wasn’t the Opening a spectacular showcase to open the season! It was like the show erupted in an other-worldly fashion! The energy was of the highest octane! Of course, it only mirrored The Best Entertainment Show on The Planet! Please join me for:

The Hollywood Boulevard Rock

The Opening had an air of electricity as bright as the lights of Hollywood Boulevard and the El Capitan Theater Marquee! An epic, mega-energetic, Guiness World Record-type of dancing extravaganza! A genius idea from the bowels deep within the minds of the Dancing With The Stars producers! Another feat of choreography from the amazingly creative Mandy Moore! She is a true mastermind behind these productions! It was a true explosion of dance! The introductions of the pros and their celebrity partners were cleverly designed!

The Opening was simply brilliant! A Wow Factor to the nth degree! It ended up led by Derek Hough through the magic of editing with the dancers on the Ballroom floor! Pretty cool effect to segue the two together! The dancers opened the premiere to thunderous applause. The grand opening of Season 21 continued the vibe of The Hollywood Boulevard Rock in the Ballroom! Swinging on a Season 21 Star, the season began!

Isn’t it thrilling to be back in the Ballroom for the 21st time! I have been there since Season 1, Show Number 1, every season, every show! No place I would rather be than in the company of this ABC juggernaut! My happy place! How about you? Please join me for:
