Saturday night the Gordons hopped over to the Greensboro Coliseum to catch the live tour of one of our more recent indulgences: Dancing with the Stars. Granted, there were a boatload of professional dancers from the show, but the only real 3 "stars" involved were Wayne Newton, Marie Osmond, and Joey Lawrence. This was the 24th show out of 38, and apparently each show's lineup so far has been different due to injury, sickness, and the like. Interesting.
It was a 2 & 1/2 hour show of fun and dare I say dazzling numbers. These professionals really strut their stuff and go all out. Legs kicking, bodies twirling, bodies flipping. We were almost breathless ourselves just watching. And one of the dancers really kept the "show must go on" mantra as her skimpy bra-like top became undone in the back. Luckily (for her) there was so much fringe that all her fun parts were kept covered. She danced the remainder of the number with one hand clasped behind her back to try to keep her bra-like top reasonably in place.
10 local dance couples from area Fred Astaire Dance Studios also competed before the big show and the top 2 returned towards the end for an amateur competition. We couldn't imagine doing that in front of the upwards of 9-10,000 people at the Coliseum last night. Quite brave!
No Julianne on this tour (sigh), but it was still great to see and frankly a LOT of fun to go to.
