Did you catch the Season 30 premiere of Dancing With the Stars this week?

Jimmie Allen is among the celebrities kicking up their heels trying to win the competition – with the help of his dancing partner Emma Slater.

Week 1 had Jimmie and Emma tackling the very tough tango…

The judges handed out their scores – Carrie Ann Inaba – 6  Len Goodman – 5 Derek Hough – 6 Bruno Tonioli – 5, leaving Jimmie and Emma with a total score of 22. But all the judges praised Jimmie’s moves, and acknowledged that the tango is a very difficult dance to accomplish well.

Jimmie and Emma didn’t have the lowest score, and with fan voting we’ll have to wait until next week to see if Jimmie survives on the dance floor.

Of course Jimmie gets nothing but high marks when he’s singing – like his Top-20 (and climbing) hit song “Freedom Was A Highway” which he’s partnering with Brad Paisley on…check out the music video for the track here….
