  • Pro Tony Dovolani on His Celebrity Marriage: “My Wife Is My Queen”
    ‘DWTS’ Pro Tony Dovolani on His Celebrity Marriage: “My Wife is My Queen” Interview by Whitney Johnson. Written by Maria Darbenzio and Liz Kim. Tony Dovolani has come a long way from the three-year-old learning to folk dance in Prishtina, Kosova. Early on, Dovolani’s father discovered that his son had a knack for both dance and music. Dovolani eventually became a professional ballroom dancer and has been on ABC’sDancing With the Stars for a whopping 17 seasons now. Before his career ever took off, Dovolani knew that dancing had its perks. “As I got older, I realized that the dancers got all the girls,” he says with a laugh. After coming to the United States as a teenager, he was introduced to the Fred Astaire Dance Academy. “After the first step I took into the studio, I knew right away that was going to be the rest of my life.” As time progressed, he choreographed Shall We Dance with Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere and then landed a spot on season two of DWTS, where he was paired with Stacy Keibler. Since then, he has developed The Ballroom Dancing Channel with fellow pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Elena Grinenko, created the Superstars of the Ballroom Dance Camp, and won the coveted mirror ball trophy with Melissa Rycroft during the All-Stars season of DWTS. Fast forwarding to season 18 of the popular ABC reality show, Dovolani is currently paired with NeNe Leakes, one of the sassy stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Although he mentions their great chemistry, they did have a minor issue after switching partners for a week.

  • Star Antonio Sabato Jr. on His First Week: “I Do Everything Cheryl Tells Me To!”
    ‘DWTS’ Star Antonio Sabato Jr. on His First Week: “I Do Everything Cheryl Tells Me To!” Interview by Lori Bizzoco. Written by Shannon Seibert. It looks like Jagger has some moves! Last Monday, Antonio Sabato Jr. captivated the audience with his first dance on ABC’s hit show Dancing With the Stars. The former General Hospital star kicked off season 19 with a fiery Cha-Cha. Sabato and partner Cheryl Burke were criticized by the judges for his lack of “hip action” and scored a lackluster 25 out of 40. In our celebrity interview, we asked him a few questions about his first week on the dance floor as well as his new home improvement series Fix It or Finish It. Related Link: ‘DWTS’ Contestant Antonio Sabato Jr. Reveals His First Dance: The Cha-Cha! Celebrity Interview: Antonio Sabato Jr. Opens Up About His First Dance on DWTS How did you feel about your Cha-Cha and about being the first one to go out on the floor? ASJ: I thought it went well. When you’re out there in front of an audience, the energy is amazing. You can’t help but turn the perfomanace up a notch. Going first is challenging — it’s all over before you know it! We hear you are doing the Rumba on tonight’s show. What techniques or strategies are you and Cheryl working on to help you loosen up a little more? The chemistry is great, so that’s an amazing start! ASJ: I’m just trying to relax and be in the moment and let the steps come naturally.
