DANCING WITH THE STARS  FALL 2009

 MYA  This Grammy Winner will be holding a new trophy if her duet with Dmitry is as harmonious as she plans. Based on her name, Mya has tons of energy. She’s creative, loves fun, loves to party and her mind is always thinking of other activities or tasks she can be doing – she hates to be idle.  Dmitry will love Mya’s creative flair and her fun loving nature. Mya will love that Dmitry is not afraid to try gravity defying moves & that he’s friendly and focused. Dmitry will be just as energetic as Mya is and they'll share the same sense of fun.  This is a very dynamic couple. Dmitry will try to get Mya to try anything that's going to wow the audience.    

  

DONNY OSMOND This Singing, Acting, Broadway Starring, Consummate Entertainer will be hoping that his lucky purple socks match all of those fancy costumes he’ll be donning. Based on his name, a Donny will be daring, social and a taskmaster in one particular field of interest. In this Donny’s case, he’s proven to be a taskmaster in entertaining people. Based on her name, Kym will be good looking, fun loving and will thoroughly enjoy being the center of attention. Donny will share her passion for fun, however he also has a need to have his ideas implemented and recognized. He prefers to be the leader in every situation, however in this case, he’s going to have to listen to Kym and do as she says. This is not a common experience for a Donny, but Kym’s fun nature will quickly put Donny at ease, and he won’t even realize that he’s being told what to do. Overall, they'll work hard/play hard.      

  

AARON CARTER This Pop Star Singing Teen Idol has the moves, range & enough rhythm to keep Karina on her toes. Based on his name, Aaron will be charming, competitive and well dressed. He’ll need Karina to tell him often, how well he’s doing, but this shouldn’t be difficult for Karina, because Aaron actually will be very capable.  Based on her name, Karina will love being the center of attention, she’ll be assertive with her instructions and she’s going to want to have things done her way. An Aaron is not used to being told what to do, but since they both share the desire to win, I’m guessing they’ll both put their stubbornness behind them and focus on teamwork and winning.     

  

KELLY OSBORNE  This Celebrity Reality Star & Int’l Singer is trading in her London Radio Show & Theatre Roles for a pair of dancing shoes. Based on her name, Kelly will be fun to watch. She’ll be animated, creative, goofy and always available to lend some comic relief to a situation. A Kelly loves her friends, so once she considers her partner Louie to be one of her friends, she’ll work overtime to make him happy and ensure that their routines look as good as possible. Louie will be a talker - he’ll love explaining the movement behind the dance steps and telling stories. Louie may get a bit frustrated when Kelly becomes less than focused on dancing & more focused on being entertaining. Based on his full name, this Louie is extremely ambitious and focused on climbing the ladder to more success. This show is his vehicle to success, so he’s going to do whatever it takes to train Kelly so he can remain in the competition as long as possible - each additional week he can stay on the show, the greater the successes that will come his way.

  JOANNA KRUBA  Let’s hope this Starlet doesn’t “break a leg” before her gig on DWTS wraps. Based on her name, Joanna is creative, talkative and goes after what she wants. She isn’t one to waste her ‘down’ time by sitting around watching TV, she’d rather spend her time on hobbies, be it gardening, reading, computers, cooking, etc. So her partner Derek will easily engage her in the dance routine because a Joanna is genuinely interested in being active and learning new information. Joanna will love Derek’s “never give up” attitude, his determination and his willingness to attempt daring moves. Based on her last name, Joanna will have personality, a need for Derek’s & the audience's approval & encouragement, and she’ll share Derek’s work ethic.  This team will get along well together.
