Wondering why this site doesn’t say anything about Dancing With the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance or even Step It Up & Dance these days? There’s a very good reason for it, actually. You see, last summer, I launched the Dance Watcher blog here on b5media and those are some of the great dance reality shows that I cover over there.

For example, this week, Priscilla Presley was voted off Dancing With the Stars. Here’s the line-up of the remaining dancers this season:
