Well the dancer won the dance show!

Well there was a surprise! Jennifer Grey won Dancing With The Stars!

To be fair she was the best by a country mile. But she should have been with her previous training. That being said my votes still went to Kyle Massey the entertainer.

For me the highlight of the Finale Results show was The Hoff in his comeback dance. Some excellent themed choreography there from Kim.

Anyhow, DWTS now done and dusted, let me explain why we decided to start this blog. It is not to constantly tell everyone how great we are here at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens. (though obviously we are ;) ) It is more to bring the current events of dance and the general questions of dance to the public forum.

Too many blogs/online articles are aimed at pushing one service or another. Our hope is that even if you have no interest in coming to dance with us in the studio then you will find our content interesting and helpful. Wether it is concerning the best foods to eat to ensure you have an energy filled evening of dance or regarding the latest syllabus updates and how you can tweak your already tried and tested patterns to keep your dancing current, we hope there will be something for everyone!

All that being said, it is Thanks Giving Weekend so you will all have to wait for our first installment as this is supposed to be family time.

Heres hoping your Turkey is fat, juicy and tasty!

Starting out

And so it begins.......

I cant help but feel that having started this blog I should be telling you all about us and our fabulous dance studio in palm beach gardens, florida! HOWEVER! I simply can not ignore the fact that today, whilst I have been creating this blog, I have been watching the Dancing With The Stars final.

For me this is a very odd final that is sure to be won by anyone other than the only person who truly deserves the victory! Do not get me wrong, the three finalists Jennifer Grey, Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey could not  have put more into their performances and all were great in their own way. But seriously, the only person worthy of the mirror ball trophy this season, in my opinion, is Kyle Massey.

Lets look at the facts.

1 - Bristol Palin - Worst at the start? Yes! most improved? possibly! Final Quality? Certainly Not!
The bookies say that she could well win this season due to the public support. Now whilst I love a great underdog as much as the next guy....she CANNOT win this season. Please! Surely not! It would be nothing short of criminal for the others in the final not to mention those who have fallen before her!

2 - Jennifer Grey - Simply Outstanding! Amazing! BUT, what do you expect from the star of one of the top 5 ranked dance movies of all time! She should not have been allowed to take part in the first place and her taking home the trophy would almost be as bad as Bristol being allowed to ship it off to Alaska!

3 - Kyle Massey - Should be the Champ in my opinion! Lets check the facts - no dance experience? Check .... Can remember the routine? Check ..... (that should put him immediately above the other two finalists!)
He simply lights up the dance floor and is everything that any social or competitive dancer should aspire to be! His energy and charisma makes him captivating to watch whilst he has improved week in week out in technical ability.

Who will win.....God only knows! But I for one hope that Kyle takes it home and breaths new life into the show! Take it home for all of us at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens Kyle! Our Votes are cast!
