Dancing With The Stars Peta Murgatroyd and Alli Simpson (Cody’s sister) did a segment for KTLA for BandTogetherForKids.org. They are hoping to raise money for children’s hospitals all across America this Christmas. To read how you can help, see BandTogetherForKids.org. Peta also talked on her recent engagement to Maks Chmerkovksiy. She also dished on the new Dancing With The Stars Live Tour saying they’ve been rehearsing for 12-15 hours a day. Amazing. And note how Alli said she’d love to do Dancing With The Stars. I’d love to see her dance. What do you think?

What a fun blast from the past this is. If you go to WPBF.com, you can see former Dancing With The Stars pros Jonathan Roberts And Lacey Schwimmer talk about Ballroom With A Twist-mas. Note how Jonathan has choreographed some of the dances. You can see some of the costumes too. To read more on the show, see The Palmbeach Post. For tickets and all the dates in Decemeber, see The Wick.

Utah dancer comes home with ‘Dancing with the Stars’ tour
=14pxMore at Salt Lake Tribune=14px. Also, below is a new Hollywood Today Live interview with Lindsay and Alek Skarlatos. They have some awesome stories to share. LOL to Lindsay saying Alek is a much better dancer now. So cute.
At age 21, Lindsay Arnold is starring in her second network TV show and embarking on her second national tour.
Not bad for a kid from Provo, right?
"I'm having a great time," Arnold told The Salt Lake Tribune. "It's a dream come true."
Three years ago, Arnold was a finalist on the Fox dance competition "So You Think You Can Dance." She transitioned to "Dancing With the Stars," where she's been one of the primary professional dancers twice and in the troupe three times.
The "DWTS" tour lands in Utah on Tuesday.
In the most recent season of that show, she partnered with Army National Guard specialist Alek Skarlatos — who became a hero when he and two friends, along with a Brit and two Frenchmen, took down an armed terrorist on a train traveling from Amsterdam to Brussels back in August.
"Meeting him and having him tell me his side of the story was just incredible," Arnold said. "The fact that he was able to get through that was just amazing."
The two developed a big-sister/little-brother relationship on the show, even though Arnold is two years younger than Skarlatos.
"He called me Mom a few times," Arnold said, with a laugh. "I was more like an older sister. We really had a great bond."
It wasn't just that she was teaching him to dance, she helped him deal with the media. After every episode of "DWTS," the contestants face a phalanx of reporters.
"Most of the celebrities who come on the show have done that hundreds of times, but it was new for him," Arnold said. "The first couple of interviews were pretty rough for him. I just tried to help him, and he learned to deal with it."
Just the way she did. Three years ago, Arnold was dealing with the media for the first time.
"I think I've gotten better at it," she said. (And she has.)
But her primary duty was to teach Skarlatos to dance. To choreograph routines that would work for him and help him advance in the competition.
" 'Dancing With the Stars' is completely different from 'So You Think You Can Dance,' " Arnold said. "I'm not being personally judged every week anymore. Now, I am in charge of making sure my partner gets better every single week.
"It's kind of my responsibility to make sure the judges like him. Going into Monday nights, I was nervous for him."
And, while they didn't win, she's proud that she got Skarlatos to the final three.
"That was what was so fun about this season, because we made it to the finale," Arnold sad. "I actually turned him into a bit of a dancer."
