So I'm sure you've heard by now that I will not be on this season's DWTS. While it is disappointing news to hear, the casting process is very complex and sometimes things just don't work out. But I want all of you to take heart in the fact that I will still be involved in much of the group choreography and results shows as I have been in seasons past. When it is possible, I will definitely let you know in advance.

Also, although it's in the preliminary stages, I am proud to inform all of you out there that I am collaborating with an independent producer to craft a touring show entitled BALLROOM WITH A TWIST. The show is a blend of ballroom along with elements of jazz and hip-hop. I am in the process of recruiting some top talent for the show so it should be a fabulous cast. As a bonus, Barbara Eden will be making an appearance in select cities. Mario Lopez will also be a be hosting the production during the productions run in Palm Springs!
The city lineup SO FAR is as follows:
Wabash, IN March 13
Palm Springs, CA March 27 and 28 with special host Mario Lopez
Newberry, SC April 23
Aurora, IL April 25 (matinee and evening show) with special guest Barbara Eden
Norfolk, VA April 29 (matinee and evening show) with special guest Barbara Eden
If there are any updates or additional dates, I will be listing them in an upcoming blog entry.
So eventhough I am not playing a major role in DWTS this season, I will have my hands full as you can see.
Stay tuned for more updates and thank you as always for your tireless support.
Love,
Louisxxx

Hi Louis, Congratulations on your new show; I know it will be superb. How nice that you will be featuring Barbara Eden. I seem to recall seeing her as a co-host on the PBS ballroom dance show with Ron Montez and she was lovely. All the best in your new endeavor.
