Dancing with the Stars!!

Last weekend I had to opportunity to see the Dancing with Stars on Tour show. I went with 2 friends (and co-workers) and we are all huge fans of the show. We really didn't know what to expect or how this thing would be done but we were pleasantly surprised. It was a total high energy, action packed show that lasted 3 hours!! I can't believe those dancers were still on their feet and moving so fast after all that time, not to mention the amount of dances they had to learn and perform. The 3 of us had a great time and now are even more anxious for the next season to start!

We started our evening with dinner at a local restaurant. It was a Cuban place that Keysla and I had never been to, so we were branching out! Courtney was familiar with the restaurant so she helped us order some wonderful food. It was also a couple of days after Keysla's birthday so we were also celebrating that as well.

After dinner it was off to the arena to find our seats and see the show. Little did we know that our seats were in the "platinum section". Even though we weren't in a suite we were right next to them and had to use a special escalator to get to our section. We had a great view of the dancefloor!

Keysla and I being so impressed we were in the Platinum Club!!

The set up for the show: those seats right off the dance floor at the round tables were $225 each!! Not wonder we were up little bit.

There were 5 stars performing and a variety of both familiar and not so familiar pros. The celebrities were: Maurice Green, Lance Bass, Cody Linley, and Toni Braxton from last season and Marlee Matlin from a couple of season ago. They all performed dances from the show that we remembered very well.

My favorite pro: Lacey Schwimmer!!

The finale group shot with all the pros and stars together.

Not all of my pics turned out because of the lighting and such but these will definitely help us remember a great show!!

Thanks for a wonderful evening ladies!!!
