Dance Lovers

When it came down to the finals and I was asked "Who do you think will win Dancing with the Stars," I would, hands down, say "Sabrina." Alas ... she was voted off weeks ago ... so my options were left to Mel and Helio, both doing great jobs. Although Mel was amazing and a fabulous dancer in both the latin and smooth dances; my answer to the question was "Helio." His encore quickstep was great as were many of his performances. It's so much more difficult for a man, with no performance or dance training, to rise to the occasion and accomplish what he did. A woman can follow and be led more easily by a strong leader than a man can "fake" leading. (Although Julianne is also one of my favorite pros). The audience was treated to some fabulous swing, waltz, paso doble, quickstep, foxtrot, rumba, cha cha, mambo, viennese waltz, samba, and exuberant free styles this year. The season started off with superb dancing; it ended with the "nice guy" finishing first.
