Dancing With Susan


In autumn 2008, Susan Lucci competed on Dancing With The Stars, finishing sixth, but thoroughly impressive with her grace, skill and consistently good performances. She looked beautiful in all her costumes, moved well for her age (61!), and was profoundly gracious to her fans, partner, judges and rivals. Her talent is precise...too precise, perhaps. One of the judges critiqued her as being too "precious", and as lovely as she was, her fluidity was a bit too careful. Her best dances were the tango and the rumba, described as actor's dances, and if she had truly emoted her dances in addition to the near-flawless execution, she would have been even more amazing.

All of Susan's dances are on YouTube:
Cha Cha Cha - "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Quickstep - "To Me You're Beautiful"
Rumba - "Waiting On The World To Change"
Jive - "Why Do Fools Fall In Love"
Tango - "La Bohemia"
Hustle - "Upside Down"
Mambo - "Si Senor"
Paso Doble - "The Ride"
