Watching Dance Wars

W. and I watched the premiere of "Dance Wars" on Monday with Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, two of the judges from "Dancing With the Stars."   It's a combination of "Dancing With the Stars," which we love, and "American Idol,"  which I could live without. It wasn't a very good show and I found myself missing "Dancing With the Stars" but on the other hand, W. liked it and I think anything that promotes dance is great.

For whatever else it's worth, the show did promote dancing. Just the bios of these young guys coming from farms and dancing and trying to dance before they enter dentist school or coming to the big city with a bag full of clothes and the desire to dance. 

So, we'll probably keep tuning in just to get that encouragement.  These shows always make W. want to get up and dance himself and that alone is worth it.

Here's a summary of Dance Wars from another blog http://blog.zap2it.com/ithappenedlastnight/2008/01/permierewatch-d.h
