Dance Dance DANCE!

It's around 2:54 P.M here at the Pan American Center. I am here at the 7th season of " Look Who's Dancing!" I'm so excited to be here , I've never attended anything like this before. It is similar to Dancing with the Stars, It's a dance competition between eight couples male and female. They are of all different ages, races. heights and sizes.

The stage is set up in a Thrust-like view with tons of lights and decorations. There are so many people who are attending this event. it is packed to the max! Each couple gets to appear twice on stage with two completely different acts. There are three judges who are present. Apparently the crow was not too happy with one of the judges scores for the second couple because they are booing him and screaming at him demanding him to change the score from 8.7 to a 9.0 it's pretty hilarious!

 I'm loving the competitors outfits. each one is so elaborate and flamboyant it's such an incredible sight! I also admire their techniques they use in their recital, it's easy to see who worked hard and was dedicated during practice.

 My favorite so far is Enrique and Carrillo and Perla Castillo they are doing a mixture of amazing cultural Latin dances. They are using props and all types of instruments to tell their story trough dance. This is a great event, it's basically one program with three different dance groups: Sol Y Arena, NMSU DanceSport and Contemporary.
