I got to meet Apolo last week & one of the questions asked was his favorite dance & his answer was the Paso. His Paso is why I love this dance so much! I don't know how it didn't make the Top 10 Dances!!
Of all the DWTS winners, Julianne and Apolo are still my favorites. =) Some winners in the past may have danced almost as well as they have, but Jules/Apolo still have my top three favorite dances of all time. The Push It cha cha cha, this dance and their Samba. And no couple before or since has had the awesome chemistry that these two had together.
I love the look on Apolo's face...focused and determined. I love the way he moves his body, with strength and arrogance...proper for the paso doble. He looks amazing in that outfit. Love you, Apolo!!!!
OLE OLE TORRO TORRO. I absolutely loved his paso doble. Julianne is a tremendous choreographer and she trusts that Apolo is able to do it. Amazing together. I hope he wins this thing. If not, who cares, I will still be a fan and root for him in the next Olympics.
First, they were SOOOOO good! Absolutely the best dance of the season, never mind the night! Second, did you see how excited Apolo got when Len gave them a 10?! So cute. I was so proud and excited for them! :)I want them to win more than ever now.
I was watching the Top 10 Dances special, and was waiting & waiting for this one to surface. It should've been #1, NO QUESTION!!! This was my favorite dance of all the seasons. A tango with Mario & Karina as #1? Really? C'mon...
When I watched the count down and this dance WASNT on it, my roommates were just waiting for my reaction, and led to "Don't throw anything at the TV!" They say this after I chucked my spoon @ it. Best Dance of ALL SIX SEASONS!!!! I always compare every paso doble I see to this one!!!! (and I see and DO a lot of dancing!)
You know what I love about this paso? He is actually dancing, unlike so many of the pasos now where it is all posing. Drew Lachey also did a great paso that had actual dancing in it. Awesome dance!!!
(cont'd) His appearances on the tour will only be in five select cities, starting in Raleigh, N.C., on Saturday. He'll also show up in Hershey, Pa., on July 2; Bridgeport, Conn., on July 3; Wilkes Barre, Pa., on July 5 and Atlantic City, NJ, on July 6. 6th.
He is such an amazing dancer! In my opinion, Apolog and Julianne are the best couple! I really hope these two win. I'm sure they'll be even more incredible (if that's possible) next week!
He announced today that he'll join the tour for 5 performances. Alas, none of the cities is near me:'(. He said he'd resumed training for the Olymics but quickly realized he couldn't go on without another week of Sambas. Gotta love this guy.
Best dance/dancer/season this show ever had. Every season since has been dull by comparison. The show seemed better back then too. Now I don't even anticipate who the celebrities are because it's like 2 people I've heard of and a buncha people who only became eligible over the 3 months the show was off the air.
Carrie ann inaba she thinks you're fabulous pro dancers champion ever !!! Excellente tu bailar Julianne hough and Apolo Ohno well done and absolutely fantastic dance like a pro dancers champion you are too. Reality stars about by Samantha Harris she said cuties couples ever !!! Such a awesome professional dancers also that was fantastic, splendid the Stars of the show by far ever !!!
that was when they danced the quick step. if u watch again their foxtrot, during the end of the routine, julianne's left hand was close to the camera and you can see that she was not wearing her ring although we don't know if she wears it during the show or not.
Re: the song - according to DWTS website it's Carnaval de Paris by Dario G. But dear-I'm old, and I'm here to tell you part of the music is from Darling Clementine. However it's jazzed up enough with a great beat(shrug). Whatever is old, is new again.
I didnt watch during the season he was on and I've been watching reruns on GSN and I couldn't understand why he won but after seeing this was able to understand why
it was a great dance, but there was a spot at the start after her slide where she stumbled, and he almost fell im suprised the judges didn't comment, but i loved the dance
The leap was awesome, I think he really nailed the true Spanish feel of the Paso. Joey did pretty well with it too. Mario did more of a Mexican ranchero. I hope it is Apolo and Joey to duke it out...they are superb and have made it an exciting season. Julianne did a great job w/ the choreography on this, and they didn't have to do it to the wrong kind of music (like they gave them too fast a song for the tango, that's why they did a fast tango Len Goodman!! It wasn't their fault).
@lotusblossom81 The ABC site didn't offer it as an option for the top 10, just the samba and freestyle. I agree...I love this much more than his freestyle. Apolo is the epitome of a perfect DWTS champion. He came in with ZERO dance knowledge and tons of determination and rocked the place! I don't think Joey and Laila ever stood a chance.
@mandapb23 I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!! TOTALLY AGREE. I always wondered WHY, with so much of the celebrity-prodancer hook-ups on this show, APOLIANNE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM? such great energy, amazing chemistry, two hotties.... it was like it would take a miracle for it NOT to have happened!!!
So he messed up a little with the knee walk and grab, but he made up for it in the encore and it still does not take away from the fact that this original is stronger and better than the attempt of shorter Frankie and Whitney that was awkward to watch. Still I like them and glad that they mentioned this dance to bring it out of the vault.
Thanks for posting. Sorry to be greedy, but any chance you'll post the encore as well? It was cool the way they handled the slide bit the second time around.
I thought that "Daring Clementine" was a stupid song for a paso, not that the producers haven't chosen stupid songs for others before. Miss Julianne as a pro, she was so fabulous!!!!
I totally agree with taraann80 in that the judges show their favorites. That's why I don't like judged sports all that much. I feel (maybe I'm in the minority) that Leila's dances are much simpler than everyone elses yet she receives these high scores. She has a few moves that gets oohs and ahs from the audience and keeps reusing them.
Go to Google, select News, and type in Apolo Ohno. There should be several sources. From the People(dot)com site: Season four Dancing with the Stars champ Apolo Ohno will join the live summer tour generated by the hit ABC show, it was announced Tuesday. "After the show I started training again for the Olympics but realized quickly that I couldn't go on without at least one more week of Samba," Ohno, 25, said in a statement.
they almost fell on that sliding with julianne that's why on the encore, julianne just jumped instead of trying to slide to stand up. but i think they handled that misstep on the first night pretty well. i think that jump in the middle was very pretty, that sealed this dance. if anybody has to replace cheryl, i would choose julianne and apolo. did you notice joey when samantha was interviewing apolo? he looked really rotten, because he didn't get a perfect score. hahaha...
After many a season of DWTS, these two were still my favorite.
I do as well!!
many years later still gives me goose bumps.

This dance is definitely one of my favorites from all DWTS dances!
This is one of my all time favorite dances....and I love this music.
My favorite!!! Had to rewatch it after Frankie and Whitney performance!!! I mean Julianne is just wow and the chemistry is awesome!
that opening with the cape/skirt was brilliant! such a great opening to a wonderful dance.
I'm so glad he's back for the all star edition this year!
Great great dance!!! can't stop watching this one and their Samba. They deserve to win!!!!
Love them... Simply love them! The dance was thrilling to watch.
I met Apolo at his book signing (Zero Regrets) early this month--what a classy and hot guy. More questions came up about DWTS than his athleticism.
OLE OLE TORRO TORRO. I absolutely loved his paso doble. Julianne is a tremendous choreographer and she trusts that Apolo is able to do it. Amazing together. I hope he wins this thing. If not, who cares, I will still be a fan and root for him in the next Olympics.
If they win, it will be because of this dance. Fantastic!
First, they were SOOOOO good! Absolutely the best dance of the season, never mind the night! Second, did you see how excited Apolo got when Len gave them a 10?! So cute. I was so proud and excited for them! :)I want them to win more than ever now.
They would make some absolutely GORGEOUS babies!!!
I was watching the Top 10 Dances special, and was waiting & waiting for this one to surface. It should've been #1, NO QUESTION!!! This was my favorite dance of all the seasons. A tango with Mario & Karina as #1? Really? C'mon...
Wow that was amazing!!! I Love them!! WOO! =D
This is my favorite dancing with the stars dance. They should have put it in the top ten. #1!
this is the best paso in dancing with the stars history.
loove this dance! and their outfits.
I can't wait to see these two dance together again on May 6.
They won!!!!!!!!!! ;-) Apolo is amazing! What a great 25th b-day present.
Excellent dance the Paso Doble is a tough dance to perform but they perfected the dance incredibly!
When I watched the count down and this dance WASNT on it, my roommates were just waiting for my reaction, and led to "Don't throw anything at the TV!" They say this after I chucked my spoon @ it.
Best Dance of ALL SIX SEASONS!!!! I always compare every paso doble I see to this one!!!! (and I see and DO a lot of dancing!)
It was so good to see Apolo again (May 18th) when he came in to see Shawn Johnson. I still say he was the best amateur dancer ever.
I love them! And the encore was even better! Paso doble is usually very so-so for me but this was the best one since Drew and Cheryl's Thriller.
You know what I love about this paso? He is actually dancing, unlike so many of the pasos now where it is all posing. Drew Lachey also did a great paso that had actual dancing in it. Awesome dance!!!
This paso & Mario Lopez's paso are my 2 favorites!
I couldn't agree more... 2 best Poso Doble Performances. (Wish Mario had won too)
I agree! I'd love a video of their performances in each city. Heck, I'd even pay for it! :)
(cont'd) His appearances on the tour will only be in five select cities, starting in Raleigh, N.C., on Saturday. He'll also show up in Hershey, Pa., on July 2; Bridgeport, Conn., on July 3; Wilkes Barre, Pa., on July 5 and Atlantic City, NJ, on July 6. 6th.
I can't wait to see when Apolo reunites with Julianne on the 100th Episode of Dancing With The Stars!!!
He is such an amazing dancer! In my opinion, Apolog and Julianne are the best couple! I really hope these two win. I'm sure they'll be even more incredible (if that's possible) next week!
AWESOME PERFORMAnCED!!!!
I love these two and def. deserved to win in the finale^^ that was HOT HOT!!!
by far the best dance of the season
Thanks. Very cool.
He announced today that he'll join the tour for 5 performances. Alas, none of the cities is near me:'(. He said he'd resumed training for the Olymics but quickly realized he couldn't go on without another week of Sambas. Gotta love this guy.
thanks!
This I was impressed with. great performance
This was my favourite of all their dances! Apolo and Julianne were my top pick to win! Famousgrl2 you should put up the season 4 finale
Still my favorite moment on DTWS
Yes! I love Julianne!
Best dance/dancer/season this show ever had. Every season since has been dull by comparison. The show seemed better back then too.

omg...great performance!!!
No one else has topped this paso on DWTS. Show me a better one and I'll eat my shoe.
Just tremendous!!!!
i love juliannes outfit and this is one of the best paso doble, along with mario lopez's, and the new one with sabrina (from cheetah girls)
The 2008 Fall Class of DWTS Announced-August 25th-Good Morning America
i think this was there best dance
i
OLE!Fantastic!
This and Cheryl and Drew's Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy are my all time two favorite dances. Thnaks for the video.
that was when they danced the quick step. if u watch again their foxtrot, during the end of the routine, julianne's left hand was close to the camera and you can see that she was not wearing her ring although we don't know if she wears it during the show or not.
Julianne Hough's Emmy nod was for the Mambo-to which she and Helio Castroneves danced to--it was a Santana song-I think.
fav paso double

I didnt watch during the season he was on and I've been watching reruns on GSN and I couldn't understand why he won but after seeing this was able to understand why
Two words: AWE - SOME !!!
@bradzer HOW could this have NOT made DWTS TOP 10?!?!?!?!??! :)
This goes to show why these two won!!!
it was a great dance, but there was a spot at the start after her slide where she stumbled, and he almost fell im suprised the judges didn't comment, but i loved the dance
This rules!
Two great partners.
See you in February, Apolo!
yes, i saw that and i think kym was so surprised that they were at the bottom 2.
Congrats to Julianne Hough and Tom Bergeron on their Emmy nominations (Good Luck!)
The leap was awesome, I think he really nailed the true Spanish feel of the Paso. Joey did pretty well with it too. Mario did more of a Mexican ranchero. I hope it is Apolo and Joey to duke it out...they are superb and have made it an exciting season. Julianne did a great job w/ the choreography on this, and they didn't have to do it to the wrong kind of music (like they gave them too fast a song for the tango, that's why they did a fast tango Len Goodman!!

They have to take this!...
@lotusblossom81 The ABC site didn't offer it as an option for the top 10, just the samba and freestyle. I agree...I love this much more than his freestyle.

Happy Birthday Apolo (May 22)
adorable
thanks... i just noticed cuz you said so.
Apolo was made for the paso!! And speed skating, of course =P
Actually, I liked the 2nd quickstep even more than the paso. Much more complex, longer, and perfectly performed.
👏🏿
@mandapb23 I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!! TOTALLY AGREE. I always wondered WHY, with so much of the celebrity-prodancer hook-ups on this show, APOLIANNE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM? such great energy, amazing chemistry, two hotties.... it was like it would take a miracle for it NOT to have happened!!!
Carnaval de Paris by Dario G. This version is a little slower, but still cool.
It is 'Carnival de Paris' by Dario G
I wanna know how calls the song of this video, i love!!!!!!!
So he messed up a little with the knee walk and grab, but he made up for it in the encore and it still does not take away from the fact that this original is stronger and better than the attempt of shorter Frankie and Whitney that was awkward to watch. Still I like them and glad that they mentioned this dance to bring it out of the vault.
Thanks for posting. Sorry to be greedy, but any chance you'll post the encore as well? It was cool the way they handled the slide bit the second time around.
This was there best dance....so hot!!!!!!
Derek actually chose the same song for his freestyle with Shawn!
I thought that "Daring Clementine" was a stupid song for a paso, not that the producers haven't chosen stupid songs for others before. Miss Julianne as a pro, she was so fabulous!!!!
please vote for him...if u dont know how send me a message ill i show u...he needs ur vote
I totally agree with taraann80 in that the judges show their favorites. That's why I don't like judged sports all that much.

Does anyone which dance Julianne was nominated for an Emmy for??
Go to Google, select News, and type in Apolo Ohno. There should be several sources. From the People(dot)com site: Season four Dancing with the Stars champ Apolo Ohno will join the live summer tour generated by the hit ABC show, it was announced Tuesday.
"After the show I started training again for the Olympics but realized quickly that I couldn't go on without at least one more week of Samba," Ohno, 25, said in a statement.
These two are amazing. What I think is wonderful, if there were ANY mistakes...they were on Juliane's part...Not Ono...how great is that?
Disappointed that this dance did not make the DWTS Judge's All Time Best.
Okay. This is really good. but a comment down there was like show me one better. Check out Maria Menunous and Derek Hough, their's isgood as well.
@bradzer mario and karina were the best paso ever!
they almost fell on that sliding with julianne that's why on the encore, julianne just jumped instead of trying to slide to stand up. but i think they handled that misstep on the first night pretty well. i think that jump in the middle was very pretty, that sealed this dance. if anybody has to replace cheryl, i would choose julianne and apolo. did you notice joey when samantha was interviewing apolo? he looked really rotten, because he didn't get a perfect score. hahaha...
Yep, there was a small mistake, they covered it up well.
Hey Apolo--UMPH!
does ne one know where ican find the song?
for some reason it seems short
How do you vote?
no, they didn't call it off. i think they just postponed it because of the finals with DWTS. what clip was that where she was wearing her ring?
@cheluzal Because I think it was more Julieanne's fault than Apolo's
