Here's the Redskins' Josh Norman Dancing THE LOUDOUN BALLET PERFORMING ARTS COMPANY IN THE NEWS… WASHINGTONIAN MAGAZINE NEWS Here’s The Redskins’ Josh Norman Dancing “The Nutcracker” We went to practice with the NFL's highest-paid cornerback as he prepped for his starring role in a local ballet production. WRITTEN BY ELLIOT WILLIAMS | PHOTOGRAPHED BY EVY MAGES | PUBLISHED ON JANUARY 9, 2019 Josh Norman and Lauren Bacchus. TWEET SHARE The NFL’s highest-paid cornerback stood shirtless and ripped, wearing a pair of electric-blue harem pants. It was a Tuesday evening, and Josh Norman was taking a break from his duties as one of DC’s biggest sports stars to spend an hour in a Leesburg dance studio, where he was rehearsing for his role as the Arabian Prince in the Loudoun Ballet Performing Arts Company’s production of The Nutcracker (Norman performed in support of his Starz24 youth foundation). He looked surprisingly at ease as he ran through the routine. Part of the credit surely went to Norman’s dance partner, a Wakefield School junior named Lauren Bacchus, who has studied ballet for 12 years and practices 25 hours a week. The football star’s only previous experience came as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars; still, he basically aced it. “Teamwork makes the dreamwork,” he said after effortlessly hoisting Bacchus over his shoulder. Artistic director Lisa Startsman, who was guiding them through the sequence, seemed impressed. “We’re used to guys who aren’t as strong,” she said. Not that it was easy. “When you think of ballet, you think of soft melodies, the grace and balance,” Norman said after he finished the evening’s stretching and twirling. “This is hard work, man.” He then mentioned his infamous feud with flamboyant New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.: “I made fun of him for doing all those spins and celebration dances. Now look at me.” That tiff is ancient news, of course. Lately, a different controversy has had Norman in the headlines: his ill-advised trashing of Washington football fans for not, in his view, being supportive enough at home games. So given all the drama surrounding his football gig, perhaps Norman is considering a new career onstage? Well, no. After all, even if he were willing to ditch that $75-million contract, fans would be just as mad about his quitting the NFL as anything else he does. “I’d be having all kinds of mail,” he said. “Just as much as I got now.” This article appears in the January 2019 issue of Washingtonian. https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/01/09/heres-the-redskins-josh-norman- dancing-the-nutcracker/ NBC SPORTS Josh Norman to dance in local performance of 'The Nutcracker' By Caroline Brandt November 09, 2018 6:16 PM 341 341 TRENDING NOW Adam Eaton is ready for Bryce Harper to sign with a team Yes, you read that correctly.

Courtesy Sumser Photography Dec 14, 2018 • • ASHBURN, Va. -- He won’t be dancing with any stars, but he will continue to dance. Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman will make a cameo appearance in a local production of "The Nutcracker" on Friday night. It’s a way for Norman to raise a little money for his foundation; it’s also a way for him to stay mentally fresh during a turbulent time for the Redskins, losers of four games in a row. ADVERTISEMENT That’s also why he spent Wednesday night handing out clothing items at several homeless shelters in Washington. He called that an early birthday gift. Norman said he decided to do this the previous night while sitting at home on his couch. Norman, who turns 31 Saturday, said he wanted to do this in lieu of doing something else for his birthday. “What else is there for me to get?” he said.

  • Carrie Underwood,Sugith Varughese,Sofia Vergara,Kanye West
    Carrie Underwood Carrie Underwood won the fourth season of American Idol and quickly rose to fame. Before she became the sweet and sassy country superstar we know today, she was just a small town gal from Oklahoma who had never been on a plane and put her dream of singing on the back burner for a degree in broadcast journalism. Her future changed when she auditioned for American Idol during her senior year at Northeastern State University. She is one of the few Idol contestants to go on to have an overwhelmingly successful career, winning numerous Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, and Academy of Country Music Awards. After winning American Idol, Carrie Underwood dated a few stars before finding The One. The country singer’s first serious celebrity relationship was with Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo. They dated throughout 2007 before splitting up. She moved into a hot and heavy relationship and love with Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford for about a year before allegedly calling it quits via text message! Underwood then met and eventually married NHL player Mike Fisher in 2008. The couple lives in Nashville, where Fisher plays for the Nashville Predators, and welcomed their first child — a celebrity baby son named Isaiah Michael — on February 27, 2015. Sugith Varughese Sugith Varughese is an Indian-born Canadian actor, writer and director that has worked on notable television shows and films, such as Degrassi: The Next Generation, Little Mosque on the Prairie and The Strain.

On Monday’s live finale of the reality dancing competition series, the four remaining couples — Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten, Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess, Milo Manheim and Witney Carson, and Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe — went head-to-head as they competed for the Mirrorball Trophy. The finalists performed two dances on the finale: first, their most memorable number from the season and second, a freestyle for judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. While it was a tight competition, radio show host Bones, 38, was declared the season 27 winner. After being named the champ, Bones said, “Thank you to the people, thank you to Sharna for making all this possible.” “You are, in very true words, the people’s champion my friend,” said co-host Tom Bergeron. Reflecting on his win, Bones told reporters that he was “in shock” about taking home the trophy. “I apologized so many times to [Sharna] for getting stuck with me because she’s so good and talented. I mean if you have a pencil, how do you paint a portrait? It didn’t make sense, but she stuck with me. It was very difficult for me to comprehend some very simple things, even today!” he shared. He added, “I’m so thankful for her people because without the people we wouldn’t be here.
