Mark Ballas, who says the dancers "don't get a say in their partners," echoes Wade's sentiment, telling us, "They pair us on height and size, so it feels comfortable for the women and vice versa for the women when they're dancing.
They also try and make us compatible based on personality, and what they think will work well. Each one of the pro dancers has a different way of teaching, choreographing, and also just different personalities, as well as time-stamps on patience. They kind of try to pair us accordingly.
And just because the pairs get along, it doesn't mean DWTS there won't be clashes, with Katz explaining, "There's still the drama. There's still the fights about their cha-chas that are silly.
Now that many of the professional dancers have become household names, with some of them more famous than their star, Wade likes to find celebrities that will show a different side of longtime cast members. So you want to see the different dynamics of the dancers. After all, the stress and rigor of live ballroom dancing is enough to serve up plenty of drama for the cameras.
It's too intense. It's not like The Bachelor or something, we couldn't do that," Wade told E! Romances between contestants are a big topic of debate on DWTS and producers love them , because they help generate buzz for the show. While a host of legitimate relationships have come out of the reality show, most of the flings fade with the spotlight. In the end though, the producers have the final say.
Although fans think they've spotted trends in partners — why are Mark Ballas's partners always young? According to Kym Johnson , the dancers are allowed to suggest songs at the beginning of the season, but since there are so many pairs to coordinate performances with, producers take the lead on deciding who will dance to what.
Whether it's cha-cha night or all about Disney, the teams don't pick the themes and they vary from season to season. Both the dancers and stars are paid for appearing on the show. This creates an incentive to keep stars committed to the competition. DWTS has a reputation for having a demanding rehearsal schedule and, according to former Olympian Amy Purdy, there are "no days off.
The show receives a lot of pushback on this rule. Our team is award-winning and fantastic. Kirstie Alley had a really hard time with it and really fought it. Now Kirstie uses our makeup artist for her. I get that fear, but they just have to take a leap with all of it. We promise they're going to look great," Katz told Glamour. The show's rumored "Spray Tan Sundays" are all too real, as the show's head makeup artist, Courtney Zena Shteysel , revealed. Each contestant gets bronzed from head to toe once a week in preparation for taping.
The wardrobe team is award-winning and is specially versed in ballroom dancing costumes. Because of this, the show insists that all wardrobe decisions are made by their team. Former dancing pro Tony Dovolani says that costumes usually aren't finished until an hour before the show. Every pair must arrive at a. This is when producers and the show's director make sure that the show is mapped out the way they want. During the dress rehearsal, producers and the director have control over the performance and are allowed to tweak any aspect of it, which could mean anything from wardrobe to lighting changes.
While the pro dancers take the lead, celebrities aren't just along for the ride. Both team members are expected to contribute — which often ends up being a great source of drama on the show. The group opening number that fans have come to love is choreographed by an on-staff head choreographer.
Contestants don't have any say in the creative direction for this dance and are required to participate each week. As soon as the team steps off of the dance floor, they're thrown in front of the camera for an interview.
While it may be a welcome distraction for some of the stars, as they wait for their scores to be determined, it's also necessary for the show to get their reactions to their performance. Although some claim that the show is faked or fixed by producers, showrunner Rob Wade insists that they merely follow emerging storylines that develop from the contestants.
The show's producers told Glamour that there's a lot that doesn't make it onto TV, but the stars opening up to viewers is one of the key parts of the show. Seeing Maks [Chmerkovskiy] at his most vulnerable with Meryl [Davis] made people want to see his journey," executive producer Joe Sungkur said. ET on ABC.
