What could a Spice girl, a Bond girl and a professional boxer have in common? The desire to learn how to ballroom dance! The fifth season of “Dancing with the Stars” is the “dawn of a new era.” The season premiered Monday, Sept. 24, on ABC Network.

The dazzling stars lit up the dance floor with their performances Monday night. The new female stars of the show are Melanie Brown “Mel B,” a former Spice Girl, Jane Seymour, a former Bond girl, Jennie Garth, Kelly Taylor of “90210,” Josie Moran, a supermodel, Sabrina Bryan, a Cheetah Girl from Disney’s original movie, “Cheetah Girls” and Marie Osmond, professional performer. The women were first to perform.

The second night was the night for the men to perform. The male celebrities are Floyd Mayweather Jr., professional boxer, Wayne Newton, Vegas performer, Cameron Mathison, of “All My Children,” Helio Castroneves, race car driver, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Albert

The show’s objective is to take celebrities who have never performed ballroom dancing before and have a strong desire to learn how to ballroom dance. The celebrities meet with professional dance partners who teach them the steps and put together choreography for the show. During the show the couples perform live in front of a set of judges and an audience. The judges all have previous experience dancing or judging dance contests.

This year’s host, Tom Bergeron has a new co-host this year, Drew Lachey, a celebrity dancer from season two. Lachey is filling in for former co-hostess Samantha Harris, who is on maternity leave. She plans to come back before the end of the season.

The stars from the first two shows that were outstanding were Jennie Garth, Sabrina Bryan and Floyd Mayweather. These celebrities brought a new element to ballroom dancing.

Unfortunately, Josie Moran and her partner did not perform well. They received the lowest score the first night and it was not a surprise that they were the first to be kicked off of the show this week.

The gritty new drama depicts life two years after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city of New Orleans. Two unlikely partners, Marlin Boulet (Anthony Anderson), a veteran NOPD Felony Action Squad officer, and Trevor Cobb (Cole Hauser), a soldier who served in Afghanistan, team up together to help restore peace to the city they loved and continue to love.

There is a lack of police and facilities to house them, but those who remain have a passion that will take more than the average criminal to break. Already, a lack of trust surfaces among the partners as they seem to have more to them than meets the eye.

Already through the first episode the partners have found themselves in the middle of chaotic high-speed chases and multiple shoot-outs. If K-Ville keeps it up it will prove to be one hell of a ride.

Come laugh with comedian Juston McKinney on Tuesday, Oct. 9th. McKinney has made appearances on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has traveled far and wide and will be at Jazzman’s café. It starts at 9 p.m. For more information please contact Ashley Shoenfelt at 610-902-8461.
