She’s been the favorite to win since the first week of the competition , and now Bindi Irwin is the official dancing queen of “Dancing With the Stars.”
“Oh, my God! We won!” she exclaimed Tuesday night after beating out her biggest dance-floor rival, Nick Carter.
“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
I’ve been following this season with more enthusiasm than ever before. From the day Season 21 started, I’ve been following, admiring and rooting for Bindi.
Last night, the freestyle which Derek choreographed for her was simply amazing and unforgettable.
She has been consistent in her performances. She has improved so much as the weeks have passed. She seems to be older than her years. The support of her family and loved ones has been remarkable. The presence of her father, Steve, has been quite notable.
Tonight is the night.
I’m holding my breath because I really hope she wins the mirrored trophy.
I found this YouTube video which shows the complete evolution, the practice, the reasoning, the performance and the judging of the dance.
Bindi Irwin reduces Dancing With The Stars audience to tears as she breaks down during emotional performance in memory of her late father Steve
BIANCA SOLDANI FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
There was hardly a dry eye in the Dancing With The Stars arena on Monday night after frontrunner Bindi Irwin took to the stage for a heartfelt tribute dance.
The Australian teenager couldn’t keep her composure and fell sobbing into the arms of her partner Derek Hough, after a childhood image of herself with her late father Steve flashed up at the end of her sequence.
The judging panel and studio audience members were visibly moved by the outpouring of emotion and many were seen wiping their eyes.
First Lady Michelle Obama broke it down on stage at the 137th annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday afternoon, dancing to Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” with the “So You Think You Can Dance” All Stars.
She was on stage celebrating the fifth anniversary of her “Let’s Move!” campaign to battle childhood obesity, the theme of this year’s event with #GimmeFive. During her speech at the Easter Egg Roll, she encouraged healthy eating and an active lifestyle to the 35,000 White House guests.
It’s become more common for the First Lady to publicly dance in promotion of her campaign. Just last week she was “Mom Dancing” again on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” Before that, she’s been spotted dancing on “Ellen” and dancing “The Dougie” during a 2011 visit to Alice Dean Middle School.
As part of the fifth anniversary of Let’s Move!, the First Lady is encouraging Americans across the country to give out high-fives when they see someone making healthy choices. And she’s challenging everyone to #GimmeFive things they are doing to eat better, be more active, and lead a healthier life.

Guy Dances (and Flips!) to Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” on a Treadmill During The Ellen DeGeneres Show
He’s got tricks, you guys! Ellen DeGeneres was so impressed by Carson Dean’s choreographed dance on a treadmill (yes, a treadmill) that she invited him on her talk show on Thursday, April 2 to teach the audience a thing or two.
(But seriously, don’t try this at home!)
The actor-choreographer first posted a video of himself showing his craziest moves in mid-March. His skills? He shimmies, twirls, flips, and, ahem, flexes his muscles to Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s catchy “Uptown Funk.”
So who is Carson Dean?
According to his Facebook page, he is a dancer at Bloc Talent Agency but his fan page says that he is an actor, choreographer, and a singer too.
After his video went viral, the “Uptown Funk” treadmill dancer received an invitation from Ellen DeGeneres to guest on her show. Ellen had a quick chat with the Houston-based dancer who revealed the reason why he made that video.
“I just made the video for my friends and family to see on Facebook, so whenever I upload it on Facebook, I put the private thing, well I thought I did,” Dean begins to explain.
“So, I went to bed, and I woke up and I saw that like 30 people shared it and it had like 3 million views and I was like oh my gosh, what has happened?
So I went back and looked at it and realized that it was public.”
“I have tried to do one or two of those moves,” Ellen DeGeneres joked, “and it’s not as easy as you think. That flip I find hard. I mean the flip is amazing! You must have tried that at a … what is that on? 3.5?”
“2.5,” Dean answered. “Oh, that’s my problem, I was on 3.5,” Ellen quipped.
Then, of course, a treadmill appeared on set and Carson gave the audience a live show of his moves to Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” and instantly a new fitness trend is born.
He hops around, turns, slides, flips (as you already know) and it all just looks so cool.
It Is What It Is
