New Competitor in Dancing w/t Stars Draws Interesting Dance Partner

For only the 2nd time in all the yrs it's been on TV, Dancing w/t Stars has invited a guest that peaked my interest.  And to add frosting to the cake she had, in my estimation, luck of the draw in that her partner will be Mark Ballas.  He's TDH - cuts a sleek, graceful, handsome figure on the dancefloor; however, his voice is nowhere near as sotte voce as you know who;)  His partner will be Bristol Palin, 19yr old daughter of Sarah Palin (former Governor of Alaska & one of the last US vice-presidential candidates).  Two of Mark's former partners won the competition.  Following is an example of his style. Will be interesting to see how well Bristol performs...

Just learned the above couple won the competition that season.  they called themselves the SHARK couple...SHawn & mARK:)  Here's their cha-cha-cha.  His specialty is hot latin dances.  Difficult to believe she's only 17yrs old while watching this one...

First costume is in for Bristol.  She said they will be more modest than the norm for the show because that's who she is.  Judging from the style of the first,  it's definitely more circumspect than usual.  His TDH appearance is not the only somewhat familiar looking aspect... http://www.squidoo.com/markballasjr#module11669841
