dancing with the stars

After last week’s classic night on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ one would think that it can’t get any more difficult before they begin the semi-finals. Well, when you’ve got six couples adding an additional person to their group to go on a trio dance-offs against the others then – yeah – it still is heating up on the dance floor.

Anticipation! Explosions! Dancing! Tonight’s episode of ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ on the surface was just a pure results night, figuring out which of the seven couples would be going home, but there were a couple of cool musical distractions along the way.

After dealing with Motown Night, ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ decided to crank up the intensity and challenge the dancers even more with Classical Night. After all, classical music is more difficult to dance to in comparison to anything contemporary.

The music of Motown swept the ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ ballroom on Monday night. So — and please pardon the awful play on words — who cried the tears of a clown after Tuesday’s elimination?

After last week’s parade of rainbow ruffles on Latin Night, it was time to focus on the Motor City as ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ did its version of a Motown Night. We started with what can only be described as Zombie Smokey Robinson (seriously, what the hell happened to his face?!), who was joined by Martha Reeves and the Temptations doing a medley of songs everyone over the age of five should be

On Monday night, Latin and the ballroom came together in one big explosion of fringe and ruffles and male shirtlessness. But who didn’t share their respective bon-bons quite hard enough?

Rock Week continued on Tuesday’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ elimination, when Kiss did yet another live performance and one contestant hung up their dancing shoes for good. Whose bare feet pitter-pattered out of the ballroom?

Tuesday nights bring doom for the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestants, because one has to turn in their sequins and watch the rest of the competition from home (or at least from a chair in the audience). Who was this season’s first casualty?

After last week’s revelation that none of this season’s performers on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ are mock-worthy, about all we can do now is cheer for our favorites (or, for the snarkier among us, at least hope someone has an off-week).

Most of the time we forget about all the sexy professional dancers on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ because of all the B- and C-List celebrities soaking up all the spotlight. And yes, William Levy is pretty hot, but what about Derek Hough and Maksim Chmerkovskiy? They’ve got it going on as well. Take a look at some of the hunks you may have overlooked.

In preparation for tonight’s premiere of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ Jaleel “Urkel” White, Gladys Knight, William Levy, and the rest of the contestants have been seriously breaking a sweat in preparation for their first performances.

William Levy was at the top of Spanish PEOPLE’s 50 sexiest men of 2011, starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in her music video for ‘I’m Into You,’ and now we’ll be seeing him on the upcoming season of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’
