Dancing is in Noelle’s blood—her mother danced professionally until she was eight months pregnant with her. Not long after Noelle started dancing, her mom opened a dance studio where her daughter spent all her time. While mother and daughter focused on dancing, Noelle’s dad threw himself into work—a little too much. Noelle thinks he spent too much time on the job. He thinks she was always rushing off to dance class. These two need quality daddy daughter time on the dance floor to reconnect and to win this competition.

I'm so excited to see that you two won. I remember you, Noelle, saying that you two could actually win this. You were right, all the time spent on this worked. I missed the final show and hope to still be able to view it sometime. I think it was the first show when you jumped up on the side block? with such energy and precision. You won me right then. You were such a joy to watch. You are so cute and spunky (and I think your Dad is awfully good looking also). I voted to get you back on once and voted so many times they had to tell me to stop texting. Your Dad was very dedicated and did a wonderful job but then look at what he had to work with. Congratulation you two!

You guys were a joy to watch each week and are one of the couples that made this show so much fun to follow. I was glad to see you at least considered doing a lift for the prior week's show. Certainly understandable if your back wasn't up to it, Doug. You would have if you could have and that’s worth a lot. No one could ever argue the prize went to an undeserving couple. Your hard work week in and week out was evident in every episode.
Noelle, I hope the exposure you got from the show allows you to pursue your dance dreams even further, whether that be teaching or performing. Wouldn’t be surprised if it brought some attention from fans of the male persuasion either. ;)
Doug, I envy the experience you and the other parents have been able to have with your kids. It’s a reminder to do what you can with them while you can because they do grow up fast as I’ve discovered. Great effort out there doing your best for your daughter every week.
Well, I guess I need to find another pastime for my Tuesdays. LOL Enjoy the trip to Aruba, guys, and congratulations again!
Thank you so much for your support. I am sad you didn't get to see the show, HOWEVER, it will be on demand starting Tuesday (I believe). We really appreciate it.
