When I was selected at the Fan Favorite contestant on the all-star season of Dancing with the Stars , I was thrilled to be partnered with the very talented and all-around amazing guy, Louis Van Amstel . We re taking inspiration from the show s superhero-themed opening credits, and have decided that our superhero alter egos must come out to play this season. We had already chosen our team name of The Van Bryans, and the next logical step was to put a name to our superhero partnership.
Since Louis is originally from The Netherlands, The Dancing Dutchman was the obvious choice for him. For my name, we went back to season five, and one of s comment when he called me a blonde dynamo. And the name The Dazzling Dynamo was born!
As we all know, every superhero must have a writer and illustrator to bring them to life. So, I asked Julia DeVillers, my partner-in-crime-fighting, and sometimes writing, to help bring to life the story of The Dancing Dutchman and the Dazzling Dynamo, and the journey that is Season 15 of Dancing With the Stars .
The equally talented and amazing Paige Pooler created the artwork for our story.
Enough of me, it s time to get to the good stuff: behind the scenes at Dancing With the Stars : All Stars!
THE STORY OF THE DANCING DUTCHMAN & THE DAZZLING DYNAMO!Chapter 1:
It s Monday night and I m waiting backstage for the start of the very first-ever Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars season. I m in my first superhero costume: a hot pink dress (my favorite color) with thousands of sparkling beads. Whew, this costume is one hot number!
The Dancing Dutchman and I wait in suspense as we hear the announcer say those special words: Live! From Hollywood! This is the premiere of the all-star season of Dancing with the Stars!
The music blasts from below. The audience goes crazy. As the brand-new Emmy award-winning host Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet intro the show, we hear the crowd go wild.
Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson head down the stairs, followed by Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough. And then it s time for The Van Bryans! I take a deep breath and move to the top of the stairs and whoa! We get a view of the set and super doesn t even begin to describe it. It s massive, multi-level and everything is bigger, brighter and better than season five.
