Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing With the Stars
While there still wasn't much of anything to confirm or deny recent romance rumors (as the two arrived separately), it does go to at least show that Erin and Maks aren't so tired of each other after rehearsing that they want to spend every waking second alone.
Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Cha Cha
In the University of Florida Erin danced as a member of the Gators’ basketball dance team during 1997-2000. “What am I doing to be a bimbo? I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong,” Andrews said. “I guess it’s OK for an NFL player and a gold medalist to do the show and be taken seriously, but nobody else is allowed. ... I don’t know what damage I’m doing. I’m basically killing myself to not embarrass myself.”
“I’ve been in the top three in scoring each week, behind an athlete and a professional dancer and singer,” Erin added.

Editorial Reviews: Step Up happily joins the long line of movies intoxicated by sexy bodies in motion. When an overachieving dancer (Jenna Dewan, Take the Lead) at an East Coast art school loses her partner just before a big showcase, her only possible replacement is a young tough (Channing Tatum, She's the Man) doing community service as a janitor. More than anything, Step Up shows off hunky Channing Tatum. Step Up also features Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) as the requisite tough-but-loving-authority-figure. There is some really original music here, some great dancing, and a wonderful plot, emphasizing the importance of friendships. It's a heartwarming story of success in the face of adversity, and tragedy. A great family film that teens especially will love. The movie had a great plot and a beautiful love story. The story is warm, and meaningful, with excellent character development, plot, acting, dancing, and music. Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Nora (Jenna Dewan) is a privileged ballet dancer and the only thing standing in the way of her future is finding a great dance partner for her showcase. Tyler (Channing Tatum) realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up. Step Up - IFILM Exclusive: Training Montage:

Ekaterina Kozyreva: October 16, 1984 - March 26, 2006 Amateur Latin dancer Ekaterina Kozyreva, 22 years old, died in her flat in Vienna on March 26, 2006. Details are unknown at this moment. Her former partner is Thomas Brei, he passed away on March 2, 2006, it was an accidental death. They started dancing together in July 2003 as Amateur and they split on July 2005. They were 3rd in Austrian Championships 2005.
Another Austrian dancer was seriously injured in a car crash and is in a comma now. It's absolutely terrifying to hear about someone getting so badly hurt in an accident when they weren't being reckless. Hopefully, he recovers and can return to dancing. Dancers, please, drive carefully.
One of the best Austrian Amateur Latin dancer Thomas Brei passed away suddenly on March 2, 2006. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
Here is what Thomas wrote about himself recently: "I´m 1.68 tall, brown long hair, an athletic body and a beautiful face :-). At the moment I´m 3rd in Austria- and I have very good possibilities to be the champion of Austria! I start to dance when I was 8 and dancing is my life!! I practice latin every day, also in the morning some physical preparation like running, pilate or ballet. In 2006 I would like to dance Austrian Championship, Blackpool, German Open, International, Austrian Open and also some IDSF competitions." When the person is so young and so full of potential and hope, the feelings of grief and loss could be overwhelming. For a chance to say good-bye see below:
Thomas Brei: January 28, 1983 - March 2, 2006 Ekaterina Kozyreva: October 16, 1984 - March 26, 2006
Thomas Brei funeral was held on Friday, March 10, 2006 at the Gaenserndorf Cemetery. There were over 200 people there: family and friends, dance competitors, officials and teachers of Austria, people from his small city that knew him, also press and admirers. All of his ex-dance partners were there: Kinga Machnik, Ekaterina Kozyreva (2 years long) and Kerstin Cap (7 years long). The funeral was very difficult; Thomas Brei passed away suddenly. The cause of death determined by an Autopsie: He died from CO gas poisoning. The forensic pathologist determined that Thomas was fit and healthy, only the dangerous CO gas that is odorless flowed out of the water heater and spread in small bath, cost him the life. We suggest everyone to check their pipes in the rooms for gas leakage. YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF SO MANY. NOT ONE WILL FORGET TOMMY! Homepage "In Memory of Tommy": www.tommybrei.at.tt

Dancesport or ballroom dancing, however you call it, is covering the world with it's wings of beauty and enchantment. Audiences throughout the globe enjoy the atmosphere created by the dancers on a competitive floor, or as a solo showcase. The driving force behind the growing popularity of dancesport is this time a TV program. What could you find better than TV nowadays to get someting known?
The BBC in England started someting that every dancer should be thankful for: Strictly Come Dancing. This is the name under which the first program began in England. The program involves an interesting concept. Dancers are teamed up with celebrities to form a partnership in which every couple must dance all of the 10 dances included into a competitive program, if they make it to the next episode. Around 10 dancer-celebrity partnerships are formed and each one dances one dance solo on the floor. Between their performances video clips of their practice sessions are shown along with interviews of the participants. Anyway, most of us have probably seen this program in their country which was named probably a bit differently and had touches of individuality that suit the region more accordingly. If it's not yet in your country you can probably watch the channel of the closes country that has it, or wait until your local TV company purchases the rights for it from BBC. You can order The official behind-The-Scenes Guide to this hit TV series on this page.
The best thing about it is the viewer participation, the viewers and judges play a 50/50 role in the decision for who will not make the next round. The biggest profit is for dance schools, who attract up to 30% more newcomers in some of the countries. The dance schools' successes are most likely the danceworld's successes as well. In the countries where the dance teachers are holding quite strong associations, only the professional dancers are allowed to take part in the teaming up with celebrities program. Italy for example has Youth couples participating in the show. That's amateur dancers of age from 16 to 18. They've also got juveniles from 8 to 11 years old dancing performances while the celebrities take a break. Amazing popularity for dancing. Unfortunately in many of the countries the dancers taking part are not of a high level, which definetely puts down the image of ballroom dancing in front of people involved with other dance styles on a certain level. Maybe even the general mass of people will not think it is too spectacular because of the low capabilities of some of the celebrites put together with some unprofessional professionals. At the moment talking about the negative sides of this is in some way irrelevant because there are much more positive sides to it. Dancing has been waiting for this to happen for many decades and thank God this big push for dancing happened and hopefully will contitiue to draw people into the wonderful world of dance!

By Gudrun Koball:"I'm so happy! Just in the moment also I have seen it at YouTube. Yesterday I could not see it, because Dancing Stars has not a licence for PCs and TVs in Germany - only for Austria.
It was so beautyful! And: a great message! Fine, that the ORF..." Alfons Haider is also in the sixth season of the Austrian TV show "Dancing Stars", on 11 March starts again be there.
