"Gotta dance!"

I am stunned at the number of my friends who are avid fans of Dancing with the Stars, a show which doesn't feature that many real stars, dancing that isn't all that professional, and endless commercials. But these same friends would never think of watching America's Ballroom Challenge on PBS, which features some of the world's finest dancing teams. If you're a fan of superior dancing, you will love watching this commercial-free Columbus, Ohio, competition which features 24 couples who are incredibly graceful, imaginative and energetic. The dancing far exceeds that of Dancing with the Stars as do the costumes and routines. The judging is far tougher than the popular TV show because these judges have to choose from the best of the best, which cannot be that easy. In fact, you're likely to disagree when you see a couple who knocked you out come in at seventh place. Right now PBS is showing the 2008 competition hosted by Jasmine Guy, so try to catch it on one of the station's repeat showings. Not only is the dancing great, but you will never see more beautiful gams on TV. Plus, a spectacular mambo won't be followed by a commercial for improving your colon health.
