Samantha Jade Delves into Dance New Territory on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Australian singer Samantha Jade is embarking on a new venture, challenging herself in the dance world on the popular show ‘Dancing with the Stars‘.

Having initially declined similar opportunities in the past, Samantha Jade decided to step out of her comfort zone and take on the challenge this year.

Transitioning from her familiar role as a singer to a dancer was a daunting experience for the 37-year-old performer, as she found herself grappling with the absence of a microphone and the need to coordinate her movements sans singing.

Reflecting on her past TV experience on ‘The X Factor‘ in 2012, Samantha Jade believes it prepared her to handle the live performance aspect of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, although dancing represents a completely different skill set for her.

Despite her prior television exposure, Samantha Jade admits that managing nerves for live shows remains a challenge, with the anticipation and post-performance jitters always prevailing.

Teaming up with accomplished dancer Gustavo Viglio, a World Latin Youth Vice Champion, Samantha Jade delved into rigorous training sessions, quickly building trust and camaraderie as they tackled challenging choreography under tight deadlines.

Outside the dance studio, Samantha Jade also enlisted her husband’s support, seeking his assistance to practice lifts and routines, providing him with a newfound appreciation for her dedication.

Her recent marriage to her husband in a beautiful ceremony in Venice, Italy inspired Samantha Jade to introduce dance into their lives, despite his background in football, creating a harmonious blend of athleticism and artistry within their partnership.

While her focus is currently on dance, Samantha Jade remains committed to her music career, with plans to release new music soon, promising a fresh, feel-good track in the works that captures the essence of joy and empowerment.

Looking ahead, Samantha Jade envisions incorporating her newfound dance abilities into her performance repertoire, hinting at a potential tour to showcase her music and dance prowess to audiences across Australia and beyond.

As she navigates her journey on ‘Dancing with the Stars’, Samantha Jade hopes viewers recognize her dedication, hard work, and passion for the new challenge she has embraced.
