I have to be honest with you. This season of Dancing with the Stars was a little off for me. Sure there were some great dancers. Sure there were some bad dancers. Maks and Bruno brought the controversy. All in all, it was what I’ve come to expect from the show but it just felt like there was something missing. I suppose I’m had the same problem with Dancing this season that I’m having with The X Factor. I wasn’t really rooting for anyone to win. By the finals, I would’ve been perfectly happy with the outcome regardless of who won because all three couples put in a lot of hard work, developed over the course of the season and turned in some pretty incredible dances. I suppose the dances were a bit of the problem for me. In past seasons, there were some real stand out performances for me and this season was no different. I’ve come up with a list of the ten best dances for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
