While for many people, “Dancing with the Stars” is a beautiful show full of elegance, energy and excitement, it also has some more grueling sides which are rarely brought into the spotlight. Indeed, those who perform on the show must be prepared to go through a lot if they want to impress their fans, and it’s often a very physical experience that can definitely take its toll on performers, according to statements from people close to the production.
And even though they’re not the main focus of the show, those incidents have been reported multiple times in the past and it’s not hard to look back through the production’s history and see plenty of people getting injured in all sorts of different ways. In some cases, even more prominent people – including professional athletes – have made comments regarding the high physically demanding nature of the show, but at the same time, everyone acknowledges that this is an inevitable part of a production that focuses on dancing of such a class.
Even the current season has not been without its incidents, including one that didn’t happen on stage – Kim Zolciak Biermann was involved in an accident that resulted in her having to take an emergency trip to the hospital, but thankfully everything seems to have turned out okay in the end. The actress is in the process of recovering and we’re probably going to hear from her soon enough.
However, even though this was an emergency situation, she was still not exempted from the show’s strict rules which state that a contestant missing a single performance will be disqualified. The fact that she was in the hospital didn’t save her from getting booted off, but she’s trying to get reinstated on the show with her own campaign. We have no idea if she will be successful with that or not, but for what it’s worth, she has been showing a serious desire to get back on the screen and continue performing, so hopefully the showrunners are going to reevaluate their decision.
Some publications have commented on this situation in a different tone, claiming that her desire to get back on the show so quickly after being involved in a relatively serious incident is indicative of the addictive nature of the production, although of course it could also simply mean that the dancer is more competitive than others and is willing to go farther than they are.
Other than that, the new season has been going great so far, and we’re likely going to see some pretty amazing performances this year as there have been reports that the producers are planning something even more interesting for the rest of the episodes. We have no idea what that could be about, as the show is already definitely very exciting and popular with its fans, but spicing up the formula even more can never hurt and should lead to interesting new from the stage.
Hopefully those reports won’t involve any more accidents with hurt actors, as there have already been plenty of those, and the people involved with “Dancing with the Stars” have been put through a lot. The passion for dancing is something that carries its risks though, and anyone who’s been involved with active dancing is probably well aware of that. There have been some worrying rumors about the potential future of the show, especially with regards to what might happen to the rules, but those are hopefully false.
