This was the very first dance ever to be danced on Dancing with the Stars and so it will always remain iconic for that. This dance just happens to be #5 in my Top Ten Dances of Season 1. While it's not the best Cha Cha ever performed on the show, it was the best Cha Cha performed during Season 1; in my opinion.
John O'Hurley might have had the best technicality of everyone on Season 1, but his routines were not all that entertaining to me. It's one thing to have the technique, but you also need to be enjoyable for me to really love the routine.
Kelly Monaco was not the best dancer on Season 1, but she managed to entertain with almost every routine. However, this routine was not my favorite of hers.
Rachel Hunter was also a great technical dancer. She had amazing technique throughout her time on the show. However, not all her dances were entertaining.
Trista Sutter was actually a beautiful dancer. I hate that she was the first eliminated because she was the least popular out of the cast. This routine was actually #10 in my Top Ten Dances of Season 1.
