On Dancing with the Stars is a show were three judges take stars out of their element and teaching them to dance the foxtrot, waltz, jitterbug, lambada, and the tango by professional dancers. Some people get hurt when they are not careful. Every one of the dancers says this is an experience they will never forget and appreciate the opportunity to do such an invigorating experience. They have even stated that doing the show and leaning these dances are time consuming.

On the other show So You Think You Can Dance also has three judges. But the difference here is that they are not paired with professionals. These are ordinary people showing their talents and they also are willing to learn other dancing skills. This show has more street dancing than ballroom dancing. Since they don’t have professional dancers they get choreographers to create their dances. In each of their dances it portrays a story to each song. So they learn more than just dancing, they learn to express feelings through dancing. They too also get injured.

These shows prove that dancing can be done by anyone with the correct amount of dedication, support, and determination. It shows that it pays off in more than two ways to ones life.
