On Monday’s Dancing with the Stars, Disney Channel star Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas wanted to take a risk so they danced a kinky-circus style Jive to I Write Sins, Not Tragedies by Panic!
Judge Bruno Tonioli loved the efforts and compared the spastastic number to “Marcel Marceau desperately seeking Lolita in A Clockwork Orange.” Pretty well said Bruno!
Sadly, Bruno was the only judge who liked the antics. Carrie Ann Inaba said: “I love choreography like that, but there’s a time and a place for that, and I don’t think it was right now. I wanted to see your Jive Chelsea, but in that choreography, it was hard to see your jive. There was so little jive in there.”
Len, who hates props during ballroom dancing complained, “Once I see doors and things, you’re on a sticky wicket..there was too much messing around. This girl has got fantastic potential, and she’s gonna go a long way but not with dances like that.” After all was said and done, the duo got a combined score of 18 for week 2. Combined with their score from last week, the pair have a cumulative score of 39.
Mark and Chelsea have great chemistry together. Mark told Chelsea he has a crush on her brain and Chelsea replied, “That’s a first. No one has ever said that before!”
Mark sent these adorable TwitPics of him and his partner which his mom, dad (Corky Ballas) and others had taken of the couple after the show.
