Patti & Artem - Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 06

DWTS Season 20, Week 06

REVIEW:  Patti & Artem

Patti & Artem:

Patti LaBelle and her professional dancing partner, Artem  Chigvintsev, opened up Spring Break Night with their Quickstep to "Heat Wave" by Martha and the Vandellas.

Patti & Artem Dance The Quickstep

"The show must go on!" seemed to be the motto that Miss Patti danced by Monday night, when she daringly carried on with her performance despite the fact that she was doing it with only one shoe !!!

with only one shoe!! 

Things went a little awry for Patti & Artem during the couple's routine, when Patti attempted to kick off both of her heels (a sweet nod to her concert fans who have witnessed the same action many times during Patti's long and very successful singing career); however, she only managed to dislodge her left shoe!  Undaunted, Patti continued on with the dance as though all was going according to plan ... as was noted by Carrie Ann Inaba when she laughingly observed, " ... You made it look like a new fashion statement! ... ".

Okay, so granted, her dancing wasn't the greatest (I thought that Carrie Ann's 8 was a little generous), but it was a decent Quickstep, and the overall dance was very characteristically fun and entertaining!

In the end, shoe or no shoe, Patti got to leave on what was truly her best dance of the Season ... "What a lovely way to burn!"
