Somehow, the two couples that I’ve been praising since the beginning (or very close...

This week, Dancing With the Stars treated us to spooky routines from numerous different styles. The standouts? Kate Flannery and her partner Pasha.

What you see on TV is amazing but not social dancing.
With so much dance gracing our television, especially ballroom dance, many think that’s what it looks like when out socially. Which is definitely not the case.
