'Dancing with the Stars': Danelle Umstead makes history with poignant performance as first blind contestant on the show
This year's 'Dancing with the Stars' season premiere kicked off with some heavy shoes to fill. In that, we mean the contestants were able to establish such firm grounding of their skills that viewers are sure to be in a fix about the one they want to be rooting for when it comes to the season finale. And while retired NFL star DeMarcus Ware, and RnB sensation Tinashe were able to come out at the top ranks, tying at the first spot with their scores, there was another performance that took the show's standards through the roof - elevating it to revolutionary levels.
The performance was courtesy Paralympian skier Danelle Umstead, whose powerful performance and incredible courage, made for the most memorable moment of the night. The reason? Danelle is the first-ever blind contestant to ever compete on the show.
