Tonight is the premiere of Dancing With The Stars. It is hard to believe this is already the twelfth season. It will be interesting this season as Kirstie Alley will be dancing with Max. Kirstie has received a lot of media attention in recent years because of her weight. Sugar Ray Leonard and Hines Ward are two sports personalities competing in this season's competition. These are the only three stars I am familiar with. It is disappointing to see that Derek Hough is not returning this season. He is one of the best choreographers on the show.
Dancing With The Stars is an excellent show to get a good idea how lighting and camera work can add or take away from the show. Sometimes the dances are so quick and all over the dance floor which requires a good camera operator to keep up with them. They do a lot of different camera angles. Lighting is a major challenge because each dance is different and there is always constant changes in props. This also plays a large impact in the camera work. To make the challenge even more intense the show is live.
The three judges, Len, Carrie Ann, and Bruno are all returning this season and always bring entertaining comments as they critique the dancers. Tom Bergeron and his assistant, Brooke are also returning. In my opinion Tom makes the show, with his quick, off the cuff, witt and one-liners.
This should be another exciting season of Dancing With The Stars as the stars and dance professionals compete each week to see who will take home the famous mirror-ball trophy.
