Maureen & Artem – Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 01


DWTS Season 23, 
Week 01 REVIEW: 
Maureen & Artem


Dancing a Viennese Waltz to “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” by Mary J. Blige, Maureen McCormick and her Professional partner, Artem Chigvintsev, presented their Week 01 Routine.

Oh, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!  Alas, but I fear the world of competitive Ballroom may not be for you!

True, and while Maureen’s beloved Marsha may have been the star of the sisterly-half of Television's Brady Bunch (And the bane of Jan Brady's existence!)  it would seem that her ‘fraidy bunch of nerves (Oh, yeah, it's cheesy, but I still went there!) will prevent her from shining too brightly within her new “DWTS Family”!

Succinctly, McCormick’s Dancing started off nicely enough – with a surprising amount of softness and a gentle sort of grace exuding throughout most of her Lines – and, certainly, Artem’s always gratifying choreographing effort did its part in ensuring an overall pleasing effect within this Week 01 Foxtrot; but, it was right about at that halfway point during the performance when you could really tell that it looked as though Maureen's fears had gotten the better of her, making the routine as a whole almost as uncomfortable to watch as – one can only assume – it was to dance!

Just try and remember, Maureen, that this is supposed to be a fun experience as much as anything else, so maybe just shake those understandable jitters and come back to dance even better next week!
