I’m writing just after the finale of Dancing with the Stars All Stars!

The last three couples all delivered amazing final performances. They were:

Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy

Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani

It was fun to be back with all of my DWTS friends, and even more exciting to be there in the studio when Melissa won the mirror ball trophy! Everyone was thrilled that she’d won, and the atmosphere was just electric as the confetti rained down.

Melissa was not only a fun person to work with, she was kind to everyone, eager to learn new moves, and improved so much over the seasons.

Congratulations to Kelly, Shawn, and especially Melissa for your success this season! All of you were delightful to watch!
