“Sometimes I get to sleep before 1 a.m., but I’m really not getting much sleep. But I do have a little bit of life outside the studio,” she says. The studio dancers have become her second family; she spends more time with them than she spends with her own family, she says. Her mom is also involved; Ginna Labosky spends her Saturdays at the studio working the front desk. The family-owned studio includes Leslie Fields, a former Oakland Ballet dancer, and her two daughters Taylor and Allison.

One more note — I can’t call the jive by Riker Lynch and Allison Holker either a highlight or a lowlight because I really couldn’t see much of the footwork. They danced on an elevated stage with a mob of fans around them, and it was difficult to see anything below their knees. And I was stunned to see the judges award them 7’s and 8’s instead of lower scores. It was an interesting, not necessarily exciting, start to Season 20. Next week is “My Jam Week,” featuring music that makes us want to jump up and dance. See you next week — keep dancing.
