Vanilla Ice & Witney

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 04

Performing the Foxtrot to “La Nouba” by Benoit Jutras from LA Nouba, Robert Matthew “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle and his ever-lovely Professional Dance Partner, Witney Carson, danced their Week 04 Routine.

DWTS Season 23, Week 04

Brightly bringing its enchanted audiences into a fantastical world of romantic Waltzes, breath-taking Aerials, and circus-chic Attire, Team Ice N Spice’s Week 04 Viennese Waltz was, in a word, 

DELIGHTFUL, 

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 04

and furthermore served as one of the more enjoyable Performances of the evening, earning itself a rather comfortable–and very much deserved! –resting place among the company of what were some already INCREDIBLE dancing displays!

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 04

Once again (although I suppose that his graceful Week 02 Foxtrot really should have tipped me off beforehand!) I found myself pleasantly shocked at Vanilla Ice’s smooth and fluid capabilities, while Witney’s ever- distinctive higher level of Choreographing brilliance – shown when even among her peers – sweetly created one truly lovely Ballroom exhibit!

Loved it, loved it, LOVED it, you two; and, I very much hope that you’re back next Week because I most definitely would like some more of it!!

Rick & Emma vs. Vanilla Ice & Whitney – Review of DWTS Face-off, Season 23, Week 03

DWTS Season 23, Week 03

Face-off REVIEW:

Rick & Emma

vs.

Vanilla Ice & Witney

Ladies and Gentlemen, Performing in the bad-out Battle of the "Paso Bobles" … er, Paso Dobles! … Former Governor Rick Perry & Emma Slater contended against their fellow Season 23 Competitive Cohorts, Robert Matthew “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle & Witney Carson!



Rick & Emma:


Well, I have to say that if Paso-ing were a Walk, then Governor Perry would be crushing it!

Bu-u-u-ut, seeing as how the Paso Doble is unfortunately not a Walk, but rather a Dance, I’ll stick to saying that all in all, Rick & Emma’s Performance was most enjoyable!

Rick & Emma

DWTS Season 23, Week 03

Governor Perry's excellent Frame and natural ability to Lead – whether dancing or not -  easily remained in the peek-est of shapes throughout the Routine; and was drastically aided by Emma’s clever Choreography, which included one very impressive segment in particular, where the beloved Pro artistically faced-off against her Celeb Partner in an epic Moment and Spin around the center of the Ballroom’s Dance Floor, effectively saving this Number as a whole from the jaws of Judges’ Scoring Oblivion!





Vanilla Ice & Witney:


Ah!  … Now we’re talking!!

Exhibiting a much closer and more exhilarating adaption of the Paso Doble, Vanilla Ice’s take on this powerful Dance was unquestionably superior to that of his political challenger in most every way, barring that of a Great Frame.

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 03

Smooth, on point, and terrifically fierce, this “Ole!”-inducing Routine by Vanilla served to immediately set the standard of Monday night’s Latin attempts, as well as one of the better Dances of the entire evening!

Of course, and only too naturally, mad props go out to the ever lovely Witney whose – once again – SUPERB Choreography succeeded in drawing out every ounce of that non-music that she and Vanilla were made to dance to, creating what was a decidedly gripping Piece and Performance!

DWTS Season 23, Week 03

(And, BTW, that dramatic dress was positively KILLING it; you go, Wit!)

All in all, I 100% LOVED it, you two!  Amazing job!!

Vanilla& Witney– Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 02

DWTS Season 23, Week 02

REVIEW: Vanilla & Witney

Performing a – Now get this! – SPLENDID Foxtrot to “ Love and Marriage” by Frank Sinatra, from Married with Children, Robert Matthew “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle, and his Professional Partner, the ever-lovely Witney Carson, danced their TV Night Routine.

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 02

Frame and Flourish, Poise and Pizzazz … you can’t have one without the other when dancing that Ballroom classic, the Foxtrot; and, this particularly FABULOUS showing from Vanilla Ice & Witney was certainly in no short supply of all the above!!

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 02

Having surprisingly – and yet successfully! – executed one of the more ADORABLE routines to have graced Monday night's Dance Floor, who would’ve guessed that Vanilla Ice could ever have been so wonderfully light on his feet or, for that matter, so charmingly full of elegant Musicality and class?!  

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 02

And, naturally – it very nearly goes without saying, though I’m sooo declaring it anyway! – the beautiful Wit’s Choreography AND treatment of the promiscuous Peg was an absolute and sheer delight!

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 02

(I mean to say – and pardon my French! – that she totally kicked @$$!  … No, really, did you see the Dance?  Witney really popped poor Vanilla Ice a good one!)

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 02

Simply superb, #TeamIceandSpice; I loved it, loved it, LOVED it!!

Vanilla & Witney – Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 01

DWTS Season 23,

Week 01 REVIEW:

Vanilla & Witney

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 01

Dancing the Cha-Cha (more or less!) to “Ice, Ice, Baby” (love that song!), Robert Matthew “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle <Rubbing Out Hands> and his Professional dancing partner, Witney Carson, performed their Week 01 Routine.

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 01

Ice, Ice, BABY!

The elating duo of Team Ice & Spice proved they had all the right (and hip!) moves – if not many Latin ones! - during their Monday night routine as the star Rapper known as Vanilla Ice showed that when it comes to bringing that cool and crazy-great funk, he’s still got it!

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 01

Though a TERRIFIC performance overall, and one that certainly had this dwtslover cheering wildly, it still cannot be said that this dance will necessarily be credited as having been a Cha-Cha per say (what, with little to no actual content having been included within the Dance!); yet – and let’s face it, folks! – nobody really cares (except for Head Judge Len Goodman, of course!) as some choreographing Brilliance was displayed once more by the ever-lovely Witney

The ever-lovely Witney Carson

when she correctly chose to lay aside the rigorous structure of Latin and Ballroom Dance for just one evening in order to give a still-thrilling 90’s hit its due propers!

Vanilla Ice & Witney

DWTS Season 23, Week 01

AMAZING job, you two,  I LOVED it!! ... 

"Word to your Mother!"
