Caption: Janet Chow, Sharon Chan, Sonija Kwok, and Mandy Cho spent some time rehearsing their dancing skills, thus they will be putting their best side forward.

Sonija Kwok, Michael Tse Tin Wah, Benjamin Yuen Wai Ho, Mandy Cho Man Lei, Sharon Chan Man Chi, and Janet Chow headed to Hunan to compete in a dance program, 《舞動奇跡》. Sonija indicated that she will be performing the Cha Cha and her costume will be very sexy, with a short hem and low neckline. There will also be a pair of wings in the back.

Sonija stressed that she will take many precautions with her costume to prevent over-exposure. "There will be no chance for the dress to shift out of place!"

Michael Tao Dai Yu's birthday was earlier. Sonija was reluctant to talk about Michael. "I knew about his birthday, but I did not send a text message. I did not give a gift either. If there is no need to, I will not contact him!"

In September, Sonija will be heading to Jade Mount Everest with Joey Leung Wing Chung and Patrick Tang to "cleanse their rumors." Sonija said, "Please don't say that! TVB just gave me this opportunity to film there!"

Michael Tse was spotted with a cane yesterday at the airport. Due to over exerting himself in dance practice and filming an ad clip for 8 hours with Mandy Cho for the dance program, Michael's old injury was ignited.

Was Michael hinting that Mandy was overweight? "No! In our video clip, I had to hold Mandy and twist my shoulders, thus I sustained the injury. But I will recover quickly!"

At a children's music awards ceremony earlier, Mr. Hong Kong 2007 winner, Benjamin Yuen, made a mistake in his performance. But he will try his best at the dance competition.

Allegedly, Miss Hong Kong 2007 2nd Runner-Up, Loretta Chow hugged Benjamin fiercely after dinner one night. Benjamin explained, "We had dinner together after the children's awards ceremony concluded. Mr. Hong Kong, Wu Chi Wai and Janet Chow were also present. Since Chi Wai and Janet live close to my home, we took the taxi together!"


Janet Chow was photographed locked in a passionate kiss with her boyfriend earlier. She said helplessly, "It was just a normal gesture between a man and woman in love."
"I never thought my private life would be photographed! My boyfriend knows about this but he is not in Hong Kong. Actually, my family was present when the photo was taken!"

Since this show will be following the format of the original "Strictly Come Dancing" aka "Dancing with the Stars", we can expect the following dances:

Standard ballroom dances
Foxtrot
Quickstep
Tango
Waltz

Latin dances
Cha-cha-cha
Jive
Mambo
Paso Doble
Rumba
Samba


I'll be looking forward to the Latin dances routine

p.s. Seems like two HunanTV artistes, 张杰 (Zhang Jie) & 谢娜 (Tse Na) is very popular. They have joined similar celebrity dancing competition before:

that was Superboys (kuai le nan shen), its HuNanTV's most popular show on singing ..... ahah as you can see, i love that show
and rumors have spread that zhang jie and tse na have a love relationship between them
so im guessing that the tvb celebrities are pairing within each other or with the hunantv celebrities?

I can't wait to watch this, I watched the one with Twins and other hk singers in it, it was good. Hope this will be as good.

[tinac]

Most of China artist has dancing training at school, this is a tough competition for TVB artist.

How come Bernice Liu is not in the competition, thought she is good at dancing.

Not really. If u watch 'Wu Lin Da Hui', another dancing show participated by celebs, u will know that some China artists can't dance at all. HK artist like Ewong Yung, Cathy Chow, Twins, Sun Boyz, Yumiko can hold their own with the China artist.

[sehseh]

I think the celebrities are pairing up with professional dancer, like the UK version.

Here's a clip of one of the HunanTV artiste practising with his dance instructor:

Her TVB dancing series [STEPS] with Steven Ma, Fala Chan, Matthew Ko is coming out, so the cast will be busy promoting their series.

Kidd is right, TVB artiste not that bad what... I'm anticipating Michael's performance

Tonight is the Men's group round 1, so if anyone want to catch it, you can watch live on TVB or HunanTV starting 8.30pm. I'll be tuning in via TVU player...kekekeke
