Noelle Croner

Age: 19
Location: New York, NY

Doug Croner (Noellle's father)
Location: Gilbertsville, PA
Age: 52

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.

congratulations,noelle and doug!!! i watched the show every friday.to see who got kicked off and i hoped it wasn't you everytime!
CONGRATULATIONS TO NOELLE AND DOUG. I'm so happy for you guys. You two were my favorite couple from the beginning of the show. Anyhow, I'm still trying to find out where can I watch the season finale. I can't believe that after watching ALL THE EPISODES, I missed the most important one. And I stood up very late thinking and hoping they will repeat it as usual and almost fainted when I saw the other show on the following week. Can anyone tell me where can I see it?

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!

Noelle and Doug, congratulations on your big win. I watched the first show and the Gilbertsville/Pennsburg sign caught my eye, I live in Pennsburg, Pa. I started watching the show and by far thought you two were the best from the start. I missed the last show due to being on vacation but did read i can see it on Demand. I cant wait to see your last performance. Congratulations to "stars" right in my own backyard !!!!
For those of you who missed the finale, as I did, I found it On Demand (Comcast Cable). You can probably see most of the episodes. I fast forwarded them, because the judges talked too much and said nothing. Good luck finding it. Here is the You Tube link for the announcement. It's not too bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zUJdo0nmow&feature=related
whoo hoo,so glad you 2 won,now noelle can afford a hair cut that we can see her face and doug can buy a lighter pair of shoes so he can get his feet up off the ground.kidda helps when your trying to dance.
You two are magnificent. You, Noelle, won the hearts of many when you talked about your childhood and not spending time with your dad. Young lady, the way you move - unbelievable talent! I AM SICK! It's been 5 days now, and I still can't get over the fact I missed it! I don't know what on demand is. Thought I could find it online, YouTube . . . I've read blogs, blogs, and more blogs about it, watched interviews, but can't see the finale. Surely someone put it online somewhere!
Noelle and Doug, congratulations on your win! I just caught the final episode on On-demand. Hmm, I seem to recall saying you would be one of the three pairs in the finale. ;) (Hey, one out of three predictions right ain't bad!)

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!
Pamboat-

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.

-Noelle and Doug
CONGRATULATIONS TO NOELLE AND DOUG. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN FABULOUS!!! But I missed the finale. I came home from an evening out, and was so excited to sit down and watch it on video, only to realize it didn't record. I was SICK!!! I got online and found out they won, but I want to see it. I decided I would catch it over the weekend, as they rerun it so many times, only to find out they have replaced it with a new show. Surely I can see it, but I don't know how. Can anyone help???
Congratulations, Noelle and Doug!! Our daughter is in Gretchen Walter's class and has been faithly watching you both since day one!! On Friday, she had both phones peeled to her ears voting for you both!!! Mrs. Walter is an awesome teacher and was so excited that our daughter was into watching you each week. We are sad it is over BUT so so very happy you have won!! There is noone happier or prouder of you in Harleysville than the Coutts family. We hope to meet you one day. God bless and get so much deserved rest!! Love, Jeff, Karen and Laura (your biggest fan) :)
To Karyn85: Normally I would not waste my time responding to someone like you - however your slander is more than should be allowed on this blog!!! What a sad representation of Brooke and Eric's fans. They should be ashamed to have someone like you represent them - and since I had the fortunate opportunity to meet them both, I am sure they are!!! America voted, in case you don't know, and apparantly America saw something about Doug and Noelle that won their hearts over. The competition was NOT just about dance, it was so much more. Brooke and Eric were an amazing couple, fun to watch, and helped make the show more enjoyable. You should be proud of how far they did go and focus on that and not the slander of a beautiful young woman who could not work any harder at being a good person and a positive role model for so many young students!! Shame on you for being such a poor sport - and most of all shame on you for taking it upon yourself to represent good people in such a viscious way!!!! Think twice next time before you decide to be so cruel to people. The world would be such a better place if only we all learned to respect each other.

Congratulations to all the parents and dancers. You made America very proud. It was so much fun being a small part of all of your successes. Can't wait to see where all of your careers take you!!!!

Karyn85 & HersheyKisses0…Get a grip, this was a dance competition! Somebody wins somebody loses, just maybe if you focused on your attitude you too could be a Winner.
i dance
Congrats Noelle, I'm very proud of you, you definately deserve it, keep working hard and making everyone proud!
Congratulations!!!! You were both awesome. A perfect example of a daughter's talent and a dad's love; that's the real winner here - a perfect combination! We voted the max every time and are so glad you won. We're gonna expect to see some of those moves at our MHS reunion, Doug - so don't get out of practice.
Congratulations Noelle & Doug!! You two were my favs from the beginning. I am a nurse and my grandaughter & I watched faithfully (or recorded)except for the final contest. I suffered a heart attack last Monday, April 14th and was in hospital all week. Unfortunately I could not find Lifetime on their cable network. But I was elated when I got home and logged onto the Net to find out you had WON! Noelle, I not only admire your talent, which is awesome, but that night you teared up when you said you could now call your Dad your friend, I bet there was not a dry eye watching. Again, CONGRATS ,you BOTH deserve it! Barbara and Kelsey
CONGRATULATIONS !!! Noelle and Doug,
