'Dancing With the Stars' Will Look Different on Disney+: Inside the ... (Variety)

'Dancing With the Stars' exec producer Conrad Green on how he's re-engineering the show for a streaming audience.

“You’re going where the audience is, and trying to bring that sense of live excitement to a streamer,” he says. “But I feel so fortunate that we’re going to be the first live show on Disney+.” (That includes the originator of the format, the UK’s “Strictly Come Dancing,” which runs without ads on the BBC.) But this is still a huge adjustment for the U.S. But there’s perhaps never been as ambitious of a shift as “Dancing With the Stars,” a live show with multiple performances and an interactive audience component. Green was the original showrunner for “DWTS” back then, and continued with the show through Season 18 in 2014. So we don’t really want to change any of that in terms of tone and feel of the show just because we don’t have that the same regulatory framework. (In recent years, as “DWTS” shrunk to one night on ABC, with an elimination at the end of the show, only folks watching live in the Eastern and Central time zones were able to vote.) “As the show progresses through the season and we have fewer people in it, we can let the show breathe in different ways,” he says. “DWTS” will continue to maintain a five-second delay in the event that something inappropriate happens or is said on camera. “We definitely needed to bring back an area of the set so that we can clear the stage and actually move stuff around,” Green says. And I think people are going to be really excited by some of the ideas that they came up with to complete the story on the shows.” But adding more content to the show is only part of the challenge.

How Much Does Dancing With The Stars And TikTok's Charli D ... (Cinema Blend)

A new report shows that Dancing With The Stars' Charli D'Amelio makes more than most CEOs, thanks to TikTok.

Season 2 of The D'Amelio Show is also one of [Hulu’s fall releases](https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/hulu-new-releases-abbott-elementary-season-2-premiere-the-dark-knight-and-other-movies-and-tv-shows-streaming-september-2022), as it premieres on September 28. The series, titled The D'Amelio Show, is available now for [Hulu subscribers](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2570844/subscribing-to-hulu-the-price-whats-included-and-everything-else-to-know). [Charli has opened up about the hateful comments](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2567244/tiktok-star-charli-damelio-online-hate-why-its-hard-social-media-star-dixie) she often gets as an Internet celebrity. One has to wonder what it is that makes the D’Amilio sisters so attractive to the millions of Gen-Z social media users that subscribe to their content. [they both joined Netflix's Hype House](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2566343/tiktok-influencers-are-taking-over-netflix-next-with-new-reality-show), which is a group of young influencers who post videos together from the titular California house. I’m not sure the highly paid Charli D’Amilio will achieve normalcy anytime soon, especially since the social media star is competing on Dancing with the Stars Season 31. The two have a combined subscriber count of 204.5 million (Charli D'Amelio has way more subscribers than her sister, as she possesses nearly 147 million). The highest paid CEO in the country, ExxonMobil's Darren Woods, made $15.7 million according to [The Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/articles/from-tesla-to-ge-see-how-much-ceos-made-in-2020-11622539802?mod=article_inline). Dancing with the Stars’ Charli D’Amelio is raking in the cash! This may seem surprising to many, as the TikToker has been posting on the app for less than four years.

We dish all the developments from the show's big move to the Disney+ streaming service.

DM, 9:56pm — Carrie Ann votes to save Teresa. JUDGES — Len liked the energy, but he needs to work on his feet, he needs to point his toes more. JUDGES — Derek thought there were timing issues and too many heel leads. Carrie Ann thought it was filled with content, but there was a lift! JUDGES — Bruno thought the performance level was through the roof, but it needed more recognizable cha cha. JUDGES — Bruno thought it was quite a ride, like white water rafting, with a lot of content. JUDGES — Carrie Ann thought it was amazing, he’s a leading man with great lines and one little slip. JUDGES — Bruno thought she was a “red hot mama.” She has everything at her disposal and she just needs to put more work into interpretation. DM, 8:15pm — Sam is older than most successful dancers on this show (he’s 61), but Ginger Zee was a meteorologist who did well on the dance floor. Carrie Ann Inaba calls it “fabulous” and “amazing,” with “fluidity” and “strength.” DM, 8:04pm — “I can’t tell you what a thrill it is to be back in the ballroom,” says Alfonso Ribeiro after Tyra Banks introduces him. And the second is the addition of [Alfonso Ribeiro](https://www.goldderby.com/t/alfonso-ribeiro/), who is now teaming up with [Tyra Banks](https://www.goldderby.com/t/tyra-banks/) [to share hosting duties](https://www.goldderby.com/article/2022/alfonso-ribeiro-co-host-dancing-with-the-stars/).

"The precision on that cha-cha was fantastic." "That was the best dance of the night so far," Derek declared. Len said he "liked the energy" but urged Joseph that he's "gotta work on your feet." "Doing this can only help me in the long run." Bruno declared, while Len told him to "calm yourself down" and add more finesse to his dancing. The TV actor, best known for his work on 90210, announced he has a "phobia" of dancing shortly after meeting Emma. Carrie Ann then praised Shangela for "showing up and being fierce and being all that you are." Carrie Ann believed the routine "was a little too simple for you" because "there's so much more there." Derek added that Wayne needs to "find the balance between charisma, performance and technique." Len advised Jessie to "work on your legs" and "get stronger leg action" while Derek pointed out how she clearly "felt comfortable in that line dance moment." Meanwhile, Derek offered some positive feedback for Daniel to "get lower in the legs" and move around more.

'Dancing With the Stars' kicked off its inaugural Disney+ season on Monday night — who was eliminated during Episode 1?

Jason’s performance started out decently enough, then unfortunately devolved into something much more uncomfortable as the piece went on. (Speaking of Pasha, did he wrong a producer or something? Charli’s footwork and hip swivels were lightning-fast, and she kept up every step of the way with Mark’s extremely intricate choreography. And though Trevor’s execution was a tad frenetic, it was also much, much more competent than I think any of us expected. Her dancing was a smidge timid at times — she could probably give about 20 percent more in future routines — but she displayed a commendable ease and rhythm out there.
