A Dance Lesson From The ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Crew And @Dance10Alan #ABCTVEvent (With Video) #DWTS

Swept away by @Dance10Alan from the DWTS crew

Dancing with the Stars fans, this one is for you!

Imagine being able to have a private dance lesson with the greats from this hit ABC show. How was I feeling right before entering the studio in LA? Absolutely terrified. I don’t ballroom dance. I … club dance! Sure, I was fake IDing my day through Manhattan since high school… but that doesn’t mean that I was ready for a one on one with Alan Bersten and crew. Please! I was so completely out of my element. But it was part of the trip and I am a team player and always up for a new experience. So, we rolled in and went with the flow.

They told me to dress in comfortable dance clothing. I went in skinny jeans and boots. Ya know… because that’s what I think of when I think comfort. LOL.

PS –> Remember when I had that amazingly cool experience on Dancing with the Stars last year? I did a little commentary on their digital show? SUPER FUN. I think the video is still live. Check it out here.

The DWTS crew!

Anyway, the entire crew split up our group and taught us a really quick salsa move and then we had ourselves a little dance off. A flipping Dancing with the Stars dance off. WHAT? So much fun!

I wasn’t even going to bring a water bottle because I didn’t think I was really going to get into it, but it was SO MUCH FUN and I pretty drank my entire drink. LOL! Apparently… dancing is exercise or something.

Alan was so much fun! Great personality and super patient with us all. Really adorable too. Here he is dancing with Heather Morris. I actually feel pretty lucky that I ended up on his team.

Liked their dance? MAN- check out OUR DANCE!!!! Yes, Alan Bersten gave me a one-on-one dance lesson. Out of control! 🙂
