Bristol Palin’s Dancing Debut A Hit

By Gary P Jackson

Bristol Palin made her big debut on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars Monday night. Bristol, along with her partner Mark Ballas danced to a rousing Tom Jones rendition of the Three Dog Night classic, Mama Told Me Not To Come.

We were very impressed. You could tell that Bristol was nervous, who wouldn’t be, but once she started dancing, she really looked good. Critiquing dance shows isn’t my real forte, but it was obvious that Bristol and Mark have good chemistry together, and were having a good time out there, which is what makes for good entertainment.

The judges seemed quite impressed, if not a bit surprised. The dancers scored well. Once Bristol gets some more rehearsals and shows under her belt, she will be dancing like an old pro.

The next show is Tuesday night, when the eliminations begin. Carlos Santana will guest star. The show airs at 8pm (Eastern) 7pm (Central) on ABC.

Here is a video of Bristol and Mark’s performance, with a little behind the scenes action as well:

And where was Mama Grizzly? Well, Sarah hosted a DWTS party back home in Wasilla, and posted this photo online.

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas – First footage of their practice together!

This is great footage! Short, but gives you a glimpse into what it’s like to practice for Dancing With The Stars! You can tell this is new for Bristol, and the comfort level is not quite there yet, but she also seems to do a really nice job with her footwork when they are practicing dancing together! Check it out!
