Last night's "Dancelife" episode ... I'm yawning a little bit

So last night's episode of "Dancelife", the third of this first season of the new show, left a lot to be desired.

It was a little bit boring and cliche, as Jersey struggled with over extending herself and rehearsing for too many different dance performances throughout the same time period.

Celestina tried to juggle having a boyfriend and focusing and progressing her career.

I mean it's basically a given that in any type of serious attempt to develop and become successful at your job, especially entertainment, the relationships in your life become sacrificed to some extent.

Whether that means completely breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, moving away from friends and family or having to give away your pets, in entertainment, if you don't put your career above all else other things will become a distraction.

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of having a well-rounded life, filled with family, love, friends, a great job you love and hobbies. But it's a brutal fact the entertainment business is a cold place to develop or maintain a romantic relationship.

At the end of the show of course, Celestina and her beau were doing fine, as he tried to convince her that a Lakers games was a romantic date.


As for the dancing, I could've used just a touch more of that element that keeps me coming back to the show every week.

Jersey and Celestina performed with Ashlee Simpson to her hit song "L.O.V.E." at a concert and most of the "Dancelife" cast performed at Carnival, a club night in LA where the dance pieces, varying in style, were well received.

Kenny (Wormwald) who took a backseat role in this episode after a whirlwind of attention in last week's episode, was the star of a Boston Globe article that ran yesterday. The show profiled him as a Stoughton, Bay state (that's Massachusetts for all you out there outside of the area) dance wonder who describes himself as being "a hyper kid," who always loved to dance.

He has danced at the White House, and recently was chosen for a Christina Aguilera video.

After graduating high school, Kenny and his dance friend from Randolph moved to LA to pursue a full dance career and he immediately began landing dance roles such as on the television show "The Drew Carey Show" and in Madonna's "American Life" music video.

The lucky, talented and irresistibly adorable Boston boy with a South Shore accent to match, will be performing with Justin Timberlake tonight at the TD Banknorth Garden with Timberlake's tour.

Dream's don't come true more so than that.
