Seniors Emme Saller and Addison Hunt, both big fans of the show, shared who they are rooting for this season.
“My favorite is Robert Irwin and Whitney because he’s actually a surprisingly good dancer and he has such a good attitude when it comes to learning” Emme says, “The choreography that Whitney comes up with makes him look so good”
On the other hand, Addison is rooting for a well known reality tv star.
“My favorite would probably be Whitney from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Mark,” says Addison, “She already has dancing experience so I’m hoping they win the mirrorball!”
The show’s themed nights are a huge part of the excitement, allowing the celebrities to showcase their personalities while embracing different musical styles. Emme is especially looking forward to this week’s theme: Disney Night.
“I literally love every Disney song,” Emme said, “I am excited to see how the celebrities express themselves through the music and dances.”
Addison, on the other hand, is waiting anxiously for a few weeks from now. “I’m most looking forward to Wicked night because it’s one of my favorite musicals,” she said, “There are so many good songs and I’m excited to see what the choreographers do.”
