    So happy to hear you’re back on DWTS !!!  Without you on the show, the show is nothing !

  • Mary Ann

    Maks is a fantastic pro and a definite asset to  DWTS.
    I feel he is not getting fair marks from the  judges this
    year. (Seems ever since the words he had last year
    with Len.)  I have been a devoted fan since the first
    season of DWTS, but you’re definitely going to lose me
    and several people I know.  Also, I’m a huge fan of
    Derek, Mark and Tony, is there a method of choosing
    the partners?  Seems to me Tony and Maks never get
    good partner material to start with!  May I also add that
    I am a huge fan of Kim, Cheryl and Ana!

    From Singer Island, Florida,

    It is one of the only shows I am currently watching. I think it is exciting to see such brilliant performance on tv for the most part. Having been a trained creative in jury style classroom that was tough, I tend to be critical to the judging, since it is televised and it affects many different peoples, etc. It affected my overall health, livelyhood, and success afterwards with finding a lifelong continual creative learning of my own style.

    I’m sure there are a lot of things going on, and a lot if strong personalities. These make it both good and bad part of the process and unique experience which is what it is for all that are involved separate of the viewers.

    All I really think, not knowing all the details, is that lately perhaps more effort should go into how some professional dancers interview on networks, how the dancing contestants that are selected(with even ability and some dance background as a more serious contention in respect for the professional dancers that have maintained the shows quality for the endurim), and respect from all involved which is challenging for all of us at different levels, but truly makes such a big difference and means a lot to people when they are having hard endurance and difficulties as teams.

    Attitudes, demeanor, articulate explanation and taking care of clients go a long way.

    I say I’m quiting every season. That’s me. That’s my thing, I’ll probably most assuradly be back next season for more.
    Family, Friends, and Fans! In case you think I didn’t want to say it for myself?

    Please don’t dance with that disgusting girl Kristy Allen.
    She is way too fat you might hurt yourself also not attractive well even if the money were good it would be a farse to see her manipulate your talent and time and jeopardise you meeting a real good dancer and partner in life. She just isn’t it.

    I think Maks is the best dancer on the show and the judge’s do not give him enough credit or high scores. He is from my state of New Jersey. And what a hunk he is. His parents live around the corner in Clifton, N.J. from my high school classmate. I am waiting for an autograph picture of him. She sent me the N.J. paper when he danced with Laila Ali. They were on the cover of the paper.
