The reason for the...fascination

I didn't dance when I was younger, can't do it that well now, don't plan on enrolling my child in dance unless she requests it...but, I can not miss this show

As I watched last night, I was trying to decide why I am so into it. I haven't really watched from the first season, just the last couple seasons. I should steer clear of the show because the tiny size of all the females on the show does not help my self-esteem. However, I find myself so excited every Monday afternoon for what is to come in just a few hours. I finally realized the reason for my fascination.

In May of 2007 we went on a Mediterranean cruise. It was the maiden voyage for Disney cruise lines, so there was a couple of "extras" for those aboard the ship. Because Disney owns ABC, the runners-up of the most recent Dancing With the Stars were on the ship, Kym Johnson and Joey Fatone (they lost to Julianne Hough and Apolo Anton Ohno). They performed one night and had a signing party one day. After Joey Fatone sang Mustang Sally to me as he signed my ship itinerary and seeing them perform live...I was so excited for the next season and it hasn't stopped. Here are a couple pics from the cruise

{This was a dance they did during the season...at least that is what my father-in-law told me, yep he has watched it from the beginning!}

{Yep, I stood in line with all the teeny-boppers on the ship to get an autograph...love his shirt!}
