Miranda Garrison talks Dirty Dancing

2 months ago 02nd Sep 11:30

Who better to judge Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life than Miranda Garrison, who starred and choreographed in the original film? FemaleFirst grabbed the dancing judge for a chat about the new series of the show which starts on September 10th at 9pm on Living.

How did you find being a judge on the show? What are the best and worst things about it?

Being a judge on the show was by far my most difficult assignment. Mentoring these brilliant young people (which I was allowed to do in abundance) was most inspiring. How do you compare unique performers? In the long view of each career, they are all winners! Being a judge is a necessary 'evil' to be used as an incentive for these young artists to grow. And grow they did!

How has Kelly Brooke settled in on the show?

Kelly Brooke is a fantastic addition to our team. Kelly has a completely positive attitude and has great knowledge about dance and performing. Kelly's opinions perfectly balanced the judging views of Sean and myself. We did not always agree, but there was great respect all around.

The winner of the show gets a year-long contract with the dance agency Bloc, what will that lead to for them?

A contract with Bloc agency is a valued prize. Bloc handles some of the most stunning performers in the world. For the winners to step up to the level of this LA agency opens the doors for maximum personal and professional growth. What the winners may do with this opportunity is ultimately up to each dancer. I wish them the best!
