The 1st Annual Dancing for the Stars was such a crazy, fun show to work towards, and perform! The celebrity I was paired with, Todd Geiler, had me laughing at every rehearsal!
We won in the “Best Comedic” dance category. Flipping at 50 years experienced! The song we performed to is “Cruise”, by the Florida/Georgia Line.
