Nelly Glides Through Another Week of DWTS
Written by Carrie Edelstein
He’s been called “the easiest to watch” by the judges on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. St. Louis’ Nelly seems to only be getting better on the dance floor as he glides past his third week on the show. Nelly and his partner, Daniella Karagach, danced the Foxtrot last night for the Disney-themed show. While other contestants got to dress up and play princes and princesses, the singer was given the special honor of debuting a new film coming out in November from Disney. The duo danced to a live quartet playing “It’s Alright” from the upcoming film Soul.
The pair had a combined score of 18 out of 30 from the judges who appreciated his second week of custom ballroom shoes- Air Jordan’s stitched into a more formal look created by @theshoesurgeon. Nelly said he used to work for UPS when he was younger and needed to provide for his children, and that if he hadn’t followed his dreams, he wouldn’t be where he was. We’re dreaming of that mirror ball trophy for you, Nelly!
Dancing with the Stars airs Monday nights on ABC at 7pm cst.
