Why I Chose Maks, Tony, and Mark for Dancing With The Stars: Inclusivity and Community Support

As a fan of Dancing With The Stars (DWTS), my preferences for picking celebrities are straightforward and rooted in my values: non-political or non-controversial figures, celebrities who are not associated with the latest Bachelor/Bachelorette cycles or similar reality shows, and individuals who perform well or grow as dancers/performers. Additionally, I appreciate when the celebrities are paired with my favorite professional dancers, like Maks Valentinov, Tony Dovolani, and Mark Ballas. These professionals have made DWTS a standout reality show for years, and their dedication to their craft is what draws me in.

Unbiased Character Choice

While the show may face criticism for political correctness and agendas, I believe that the selection of celebrities should focus on their abilities in the dance world rather than being influenced by external factors. Over the years, either of the first two casting types—those that align with DWTS’ non-controversial and non-political nature—have outlasted the genuine performers. I find it important that the entertainment world, and DWTS in particular, doesn’t let PC-ness and personal agendas affect the quality of the show too much. Ultimately, what I want is television that offers entertainment and inspiration through skilled dance performances.

Maks Valentinov: A Favorite Pro Dancer

From a young age, Maks Valentinov has been a standout professional dancer on DWTS. His impressive athleticism and traditional style of dancing have captivated fans for years. His performances are meticulously choreographed, and he has a unique combination of power and elegance on the dance floor. Beyond his talent, Maks is known for his humility and passion for helping other dancers improve. This community support is a significant factor in my admiration for him. Maks has also shown his dedication to dance by continuing to compete even after winning DWTS in 2017, demonstrating his commitment to the craft.

Tony Dovolani: Dedicated and Dynamic

Tony Dovolani, another of my favorite professional dancers, is a living testament to hard work and dedication. With a background in figure skating before joining DWTS, Tony brings a unique energy and skill set to the dance floor. His performances are dynamic and engaging, and he thrives in competition. Tony has also been known to push his celebrity partners to their limits, helping them to grow technically and artistically. He is a great figure to mentor younger or less experienced dancers, and his coaching style is both encouraging and challenging.

Mark Ballas: A Versatile and Talented Pro

Mark Ballas, the oldest of the three, has been on DWTS since season three and has seen the show evolve over the years. His versatility and natural talent for dance make him a favorite among fans. Mark is a great mentor who focuses on the overall performance rather than just technical skills. He has a unique ability to connect with his celebrity partners, bringing out their best both on and off the dance floor. Over the years, Mark has partnered with many famous figures, and his ability to adapt to different styles of dance has made him a respected and beloved figure in the DWTS community.

The Impact of Their Pairs

When choosing celebrities for DWTS, I often look at the pairings. Maks, Tony, and Mark are not only incredible dancers but they also excel at motivating and inspiring their partners. Celebrities like Jenna Johnson and Frankie Muniz, while talented in their own right, often lack the dance experience and the mentorship that can be crucial for growth. Maks, Tony, and Mark provide not just physical support but emotional and psychological support as well, helping their partners come out of the show as better dancers.

Conclusion: Community and Mentorship Matter

Summing up, my preference for Maks, Tony, and Mark as favorites on DWTS lies in their unimpeachable talent, dedication to growth, and the positive impact they have on their fans and partners. DWTS remains a shining example of how professional standards and community support can raise the bar in reality TV. I am hopeful that the show will continue to prioritize skilled dancer pairings that not only entertain but also inspire.
