Skarlatos and Slater, Soon to be on Tour and Together

A Relationship-status Update

on Season 21’s Alek Skarlatos

and Emma Slater

Since first performing together in a Rumor-sparking, Romantic Rumba as part of Dancing With The Stars’ always-gratifying Week 05 Switch up Challenge in the show’s most recent dance-filled venture, Season 21,

Alek Skarlatos & Emma Slater
DWTS Season 21, Week 05.

it’s been no great secret that American Hero and Legion of Honor Recipient, Alek Skarlatos, has been head-over-heels smitten by his then Professional partner, Emma Slater.

No, really, Emma actually smote poor Alek smack dab on his beak with her elbow during their Rumba Dress Rehearsals!

“I really wanted to make my mark,” Slater has since quipped of the accident while Skarlatos, who wound up placing in an amazing Third Place overall at the conclusion of the competitive Season, doesn’t seem to mind a bit!

“I think that’s the most fun week I’ve had on the show yet.” He later observed of being temporarily partnered with Emma.

The going gossip is, of course, that these two have been crazy-mad for each other since their first Rehearsal; and ‘tis little wonder, what with Alek having been visibly beaming whenever Emma was around on the show and often making enamored remarks concerning the Pro Dancer’s physical beauty.

It probably didn’t help matters either, that the Couple publicly agreed to a Date, following their Week 05 performance!

“From the first day of rehearsal, we were really comfortable with each other” Emma dished, according to people.com, concerning the Duo’s passionate display on the Ballroom Dance Floor. “Some people just have that energy that you can have a laugh with straight away and just do normal stuff with.”

Much to the dismay of hopeful Fans everywhere, however, the promised “Date” has yet to take place; but, never ones to let an always thrilling Seasonal “Showmance” die quietly, the show’s undaunted viewers have since duly credited this unfortunate fairytale hiccup as being the result of a strenuous work schedule that no doubt reigns during the beloved program’s highly competitive atmosphere each and every Season.

Still, certain romantic outings have been hinted at when, upon being asked, the closely-watched pair described their ideal date to People, “I’ve got a truck and there are some mountains in Oregon,” began Skarlatos, who is a native of the Western State, “So we can go straight up into the mountains in the truck and look at the stars.”  Slater immediately agreed to the starlit suggestion with but one condition: There had to be some “Greek food” present, as well!

But alas! Such movie-quality Dates, or even a simple cup of coffee, have not been sighted by the Couple’s eagerly awaiting Fan-base, though with recent updates on the Alek and Emma’s upcoming, cross-country tour together, excited hopes remain supreme for the Duo’s apparently fabulous future together.

That’s right, dwtslovers, Season 21’s primly painted, romanticized vision of the “Hero and the Dancer” has been made complete, as the two presumed lovebirds are set to Tour America together as part of DWTS’ newest live tour production, Dancing With The Stars: Live! - Dance All Night Tour, set to premiere on Dec. 15th, 2015.

And hey, who knows?! Maybe their time spent on the road together will give the hard working pair a chance to work out some more of those Dating Details so that we the Fans will finally get a chance to see these two step out together!

A Focus on the Finalists - DWTS, Season 21

A Focus DWTS, Season 21’s

Fabulous Finalists 

– Alek & Lindsay

Dancing With The Stars’ 21^st Season was one with many delightful twists and turns, as Week by gratifying Week it's increasingly show-stopping routines danced across America’s television screens, never failing to enchant and thrill us!

From exquisite Movement being ever so shockingly showcased by Down Under’s famed, animal loving Daughter, to the Formidable Frame and Ballroom grace displayed by America’s beloved son and International Hero, to the excellent Standard immediately set (and kept!) by an already endeared Nickelodeon Actor, DWTS’ latest high-stepping escapades proved anything but expected!

Regardless, this amazing Season’s wrap-up, while inarguably PERFECT, remained little more than predictable, naming its Fan-backed and Media-dubbed “Mirror Ball Favorites”, Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough, the show’s newest Champions!

And while such a befitting and hard-earned title could not have befallen a more incredible or deserving Season 21 Couple, it cannot be refuted that the Season’s exhilarating conclusion could hardly be labeled as such were it not for the equally hard-earned efforts consistently displayed by the Show’s three other amazing Finalists, which declaration brings this devoted dwtslover to yet another, enthusiastic installment of A Focus on the Finalists.

Alek & Lindsay:

Truly an INCREDIBLE and out-of-left-field Couple, American Hero and Legion of Honor Recipient, Alek Skarlatos, and his partner, Lindsay Arnold, began their competitive Season with a breath-taking Week 01 Foxtrot, giving Fans of the show their very first exquisite taste of Alek’s natural Ballroom Grace and Ability!

An ever strong Frame and an accompanying “Leading Man” Quality (that would, time and again, deftly define this unexpected Competitor) continued to aide Alek in his Season-long trek across the dance floor, effectively living up to his already firmly established, Heroic Character as Week by passing Week Skarlatos took part in a string of amazing dances and routines including:

REVIEW (Part 02):  Alek & Lindsay

Finishing off their first Night of Season 21’s exciting Finals, Alek Skarlatos and his Professional partner, Lindsay Arnold, danced an innovative Freestyle to “Marchin On” by OneRepublic.

Taking a delightfully fresh approach for their Freestyle performance, #TeamTakeDown brilliantly elected to tailor their dance to suit Alek, seamlessly choreographing a terrific routine around a mock Obstacle Course!

Come now, people, this dance was just all kinds of cool and fantastic!

Freestyle Round 

First off, as it should be duly mentioned, I’m not even sure how Lindsay managed to pull this number together, seeing as how it’s not as though Military Obstacle Courses were exactly meant to be danced through or anything, not even recreationally!

Alek & Lindsay

DWTS S21, Wk 11 - Finals

Pull it off she did, however, and in very fine fashion, as each choreographed Step and Motion served to show Alek off, creating a truly rare and memorable performance that will doubtless stand the test of time as one of the show’s most unique and Celebrity-inspired Freestyles!
