I am in favor of anything that encourages people, especially men, to learn how to dance. My husband and I never learned (grew up Baptist and Pentecostal–dancing not allowed).
My only objection to the show is that there are competitors who are already good dancers going up against competitors who have never danced. But sometimes it works out–we loved Bobby Bones! And all the competitors know that they will be going up against some really good dancers, so it’s their free choice. I think a lot of the competitors agree to be on the show just to get some visibility/good press and to do some networking. And some people just want to get paid for a week or so and get free dance lessons, too!
