If you had to name just one dancer as your absolute favorite, could you do it? We love to ask this question when we interview dancers for our “You Should Know” or “The Dirt” columns. More often than not, we either get a long list of names or total silence. With so many fabulous and […]
It seems like Derek Hough is carrying the whole dance world on his shoulders—or, more realistically, his feet—these days. Between his starring role in the Radio City Spring Spectacular and his stellar partnership with Nastia Liukin on “Dancing with the Stars,” he’s become a bicoastal dancing MACHINE. A machine that is now, sadly, suffering some […]

Sometimes we get a little sad when professional dancers decide to pursue singing careers. It feels like they’re abandoning us. But it doesn’t look like “Dancing with the Stars” favorite Mark Ballas, who recently released his first single, “Get My Name,” is forgetting about dance anytime soon. The video for the song, which came out […]
