A Focus on DWTS, Season 22’s

Fabulous Finalists

Paige & Mark:

Beginning their Season of Delightful Dancing in all the right and endearing ways, the quickly beloved pairing of Ballroom Contestants  Paige & Mark opened up their competitive run with a Light and Dainty, well-Framed Foxtrot!

Up next for this already unarguably Fabulous Duo was a Latin Night-themed Salsa which, despite Mark's Absence due to an untimely Back Injury and the subsequent last-minute stepping in of DWTS Troupe Member, Alan Bersten (who fulfilled his roll as Temporary Pro brilliantly!), saw an incredible amount of superbly executed Lifts and Hip Swivels, earning the night's Highest Score of 8,8,8!

Together once more, Paige and Mark presented a real <Ahem!> knock-out of a Performance for Season 22’s Most Memorable Year Night in the stellar form of a fiercely creative UFC-themed Paso Doble,

only to be followed up with an equally gratifying, though starkly opposite, playful Disney Night Quickstep to “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story, a grin-inspiring, dancing event which would tie the elated Couple at the Top of Week 04’s Leader Board with their highest earned score yet of all “9”s!

Switching things up for Week 05 of the Competition, as part of DWTS' always nail-biting and yet somehow still entertaining America Switch Up Challenge, Paige VanZant found herself partnered with Competing Pro, Sasha Farber, for the dancing of a “Perfect”ly Romantic and Flowingly Feminine Rumba!

Once again reunited with her former Pro Pal, Paige and Mark  attempted  to “behave” themselves whilst embarking on a groovy Jazz tour of the 1970’s-themed Austin Powers franchise, as part of  Week 06’s Famous Dances Night, earning the ecstatic Couple their very  first “10” from Len!

Week 07 saw Paige and Mark take a Technically Terrific and Fiercely Fast roll down the show's river, performing a high-speed Jive to a Tina Turner classic, affording this now seemingly unstoppable Duo their very first and the show's only Second Perfect Score of the Season, earning all “10”s from the Ballroom's Panel Judges!

Up next, for that same evening, were the Season's first Team Dances, pitting the show's Celebrity Gals against the Boys of Season 22, resulting in an all out Beyoncé vs, Brown, Ballroom Battle!

For Week 07 of the Season, Paige & Mark elected to cool things down a bit, performing a fantastically frosty and chillingly clever Viennese Waltz,

 both of which earned these more than well-deserving, Second Place Finalists two more Perfect Scores, while Audiences watched what was truly a Dynamic Duo wrap up their Dancing escapades as two of the Ballroom’s most beloved Characters, as well as Season 22’s ultimately Highest-scoring Partnership!
 

“It’s amazing,” Paige gushed, upon exiting the show as the Season's First Runner Up.  “I’m just so thankful that I got to have this opportunity, I'm gonna remember it forever!”
