<p>Chelsea Latimer from social dance site JigTV.com got to spend some time talking with Blake McGrath, contestant in the 2005 season of <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em> and star on MTV&#8217;s <em>DanceLife</em>. McGrath is a hip hop dancer and dance choreographer who offers online hip hop dance classes and instructional videos on JigTV.</p>
<p>
<p><a href="http://www.jigtv.com/choreographer/BLAKE%20MCGRATH/">Blake McGrath</a> was one of the stars of <em>DanceLife</em>, an MTV reality show about the lives of professional dancers. He spoke fondly of his time on the show, saying that he felt the show represented him well, as well as being good about giving him a heads up about when they were going to be filming and not intruding too much on his personal life. &#8220;They just kind of followed us around,&#8221; Blake said, &#8220;And it got to show what dancers really go through to make it in the business.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<p>When asked if he kept up with any of the other stars from the <em>DanceLife</em>, he said <a href="http://www.jigtv.com/choreographer/KENNY%20WORMALD/">Kenny Wormald</a> and Michelle Maniscalco are some of his best friends, and that Kenny actually teaches some classes with Blake.</p>
<p>
<p>Blake said his time on <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em> taught him a lot because he had to dance in a lot of different styles that he wasn&#8217;t used to. &#8220;I definitely learned a lot&#8221; he said, &#8220;I had to be very versatile in a lot of different styles.&#8221; He said he likes to take dance classes in styles that he&#8217;s not familiar with, even though his primary style is hip hop, to make his dancing more dynamic.</p>
<p>
<p>While Blake is a dancer, he is currently focusing on singing, and is producing an album. He said he has always been able to sing well, so it was just a natural progression for him to make an album. He described his musical style as &#8220;soulful R&amp;B pop&#8221; with dancing incorporated.</p>
<p>
<p>Blake maintains that one of the most important things to remember in the life of a professional dancer is to keep your head on straight. He said that the lifestyle is fast and can be draining, so remaining grounded is important. Blake thinks that continuing his dance education by <a href="http://www.jigtv.com/class/">learning new dance styles</a> and moves is extremely helpful. Blake closed the interview by suggesting that dancers remain focused on their goals and keep a tight circle of friends for support.To watch the full interview, check out JigTV.com.</p>

<p>It appears to be anybody’s game for Dancing with the Stars season four. Although there were many assumptions and speculations on who would get axed first, the results of the first elimination were deemed to be shocking.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, Dancing with the Stars sent home Paulina Porizkova and dance partner Alec Mazo. Despite the couple’s mediocre performance, not to mention Porizkova’s sophistication and graceful execution of her dance routine, they were voted off on the first results show, which aired Tuesday, March 27, 2007.  And although the couple trained extensively, their dance act just was not enough to fascinate the interest of the voters of Dancing with the Stars.   </p>
<p>Porizkova, a 41-year old Czech supermodel turned actress, escalated to fame when she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1984 and 1985. She also made appearances on Vogue, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, Self, Cosmopolitan and Glamour. As an actress, she worked in films like Her Alibi, Knots, and Roommates to name a few. In addition, she has also written several books. As for Mazo, he is known as a professional ballroom dancer. This Russian-born dancer is presently based in San Francisco and has been part of Dancing with the Stars since its premier season. Prior to his stint on the show, he studied at UC Berkeley and acquired a degree in cognitive science. As a professional dancer, he won the Emerald Ball Latin Amateur Champion, and landed first place in the 2001 International Grand Ball in San Francisco, and the 2001 Holiday Ball in Las Vegas, Nevada.   </p>
<p>Among the participants, many anticipated that Clyde Drexler, Billy Ray Cyrus, or Leeza Gibbons would be the first to exit the popular celebrity competition, based on their not so remarkable performance. Given this, it is very intriguing to imagine the outcome of the coming eliminations.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p>The much awaited return of Dancing With the Stars premieres on ABC next month and fans have been faithfully watching out for the new faces to grace the dance floor. Teaser commercials have been released on television and on the show&#8217;s official website, showing mysterious videos of the next season&#8217;s guest stars and leaving viewers to wonder who they really are.</p>
<p>The forums of Television Without Pity show posters saying that on professional dancer Edyta Sliwinska&#8217;s official site, she announced the twelve professional dancers who will take part in Dancing With the Stars&#8217; new season. Returning favorites include Julianne Hough, Cheryl Burke, and Kym Johnson, as well as Maksim Chermovsky, Jonathan Roberts, Alec Mazo, and Tony Dovolani.</p>
<p>Further research on Sliwinska&#8217;s site reveal that all names of potential season 5 dancers have been removed. Dovoloni admitted on his MySpace page that he was yet unsure about his return to the show. The dancers listed above did not confirm their return, but were just probably waiting for ABC&#8217;s official announcement as to not spoil any surprises.</p>
<p>Popularized by her relationship with season 3 partner Mario Lopez and her impatience with season 4 partner Billy Ray Cyrus, Karina Smirnoff was not listed among the returnees. Also unlisted was Elena Grineko, who was unfortunately paired with Clyde Drexler last season.</p>
<p>Consistent rumors spell out Jennie Garth&#8217;s appearance on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. Last season&#8217;s runner up was her Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Ian Ziering. Names that were dropped in many forums across the web are former pop star Aaron Carter, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., actress Nia Peeples and actor Lou Ferrigno, most famous for playing The Hulk.</p>
<p>Dancing With the Stars&#8217; new season premieres on television on September 24 at 8/7c. ABC says that they will officially announce the castings &#8220;soon.&#8221;</p>
