Two celebs shine on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

If last week’s “Dancing With The Stars” was hopelessly slow, stretching 16 performers over four hours, Monday night’s episode was zippy, cramming 14 performers into two hours. Also adding some excitement was director Baz Luhrmann (most significantly of “Strictly Ballroom”), appearing as a guest judge in place of Len Goodman, alongside Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

First up were Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough with the jive. While their performance was solid, Joanna looked like the angles of her limbs weren’t quite what they needed to be. Carrie Ann felt that the dance was a little messy, and Baz wanted more of a connection. There was energy, but not enough precision.
