Nene Leakes Performs Salsa w/Partner Tony Dovolani – Dancing With The Stars (Week 6) [VIDEO]

Apr, 22 2014 | Written by ATLien
Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is still holding strong on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.

Leakes completed her 6th week on the ballroom dancing show last night following last week’s foxtrot (click HERE if you missed that) where in the behind-the-scenes video, NeNe walked out on Tony because of his “attitude.”

This week’s intro package began with Nene sobbing in Tony’s arms following their Disney night routine, and him bringing her flowers to their first rehearsal.

“Tony and I have been through so much,” she said.

“This week is definitely a chance for us to be a stronger unit.”

Leakes was in the bottom of the celebrity lineup and in danger of going home this week as “Dancing With The Stars” sheds more contestants but it seems the drama between she and her partner, Tony Dovolani has made them closer and more determined.

All four judges praised the fun factor of the couple’s salsa, which was performed to Nelly’s “Hot in Herre.”

Tonight’s salsa was more relaxed, and footage showed that practice was much more harmonious than the previous week. “It feels great for Tony and I to have reconciled, to have moved on,” Leakes said at rehearsal.

Watch video of Nene performing the Salsa during week 6 of Dancing With The Stars below…

Nene hit the ballroom Monday in a yellow fringe dress, and smooched her hubby Gregg along the way down to the dance floor!

During a section when she was alone on the floor, Leakes sashayed with confidence as Dovolani stripped off his shirt.

“We had a little tiff, but Tony and I are very much in love,” she told co-host Erin Andrews with a smile after tonight’s salsa to Nelly’s “It’s Gettin’ Hot in Here.”

The steamy performance earned Leakes a 9 from guest judge Redfoo (from the rap group LMFAO), while each of the regular judges gave her an 8, for a total of 33 points out of 40.

Don’t forget to cast your votes for NeNe!! And by the way, there’s still time…

Viewers may cast their votes for their favorite teams via phone on Monday nights during and up to 60 minutes after the end of the “Dancing with the Stars” broadcast in each time zone.

Online voting is open for 24 hours, beginning from the start of each episode on the East Coast at 8 p.m., ET. at www.ABC.com and on the DWTS Facebook page HERE .

  I loved it would like to see her do more dancing techniques so she can last at least to the top five but dancing how she´s dancing she´s only going to be there to week 8. I voted for her using every phone and computer. TeamNeNe!
  
  ISAIDIT!
  
  +1! I am so proud of Nene! She is doing her thing! Nene is a hustler and a hustler can block out ALL hate and negativity! I think thats what bothers people the most! She is all about that paper! TEAMNENE FO SHO! Just like you @Lise,I voted using every single communication tool in my home! lol!
- Melissa Hunter Davis
  
  Where was the salsa?
  
  WatchwaytoomuchTV
  
  @melissa. I have to agree with you. There was virtually no SALSA in that dance routine. But Tony is smart, he incorporates a lot of URBAN DANCE AND HIP HOP to keep the judges distracted and entertained. But as the weeks go down it will be the more technically advanced dancers that will be left standing. Good luck NeNe you are the only reason that I am watching DWTS.

  I was wondering the same thing.

  Go NeNe
- Templest Paine
  
  This big man can not dance. She is so stiff. And she dances with low heels or barefoot. If she likes heels so much she should give one performance in them. But she probably won´t because she´s having a hard time without them.
  
  hotlantaboss
  
  ROTF!!!! It’s like we’re somehow mentally connected, because you stole my words/thoughts!
  
  She dances stiff as hell and needs to loosen up, and give it a little more effort. It’s like watching a dancing 2 by 4 with heals!

  Is someone rigging the votes because she looks extremely stupid to me
  
  Loving This Site
  
  No need to. Many of her fans say they vote for her regardless of her performance as many times as she can. Nene could come out and two step for 3 minutes and all her fans will still vote endlessly.
  
  bye negative nancy
  
  and you sound extremely stupid to us!
  
  sookie
  
  Brwaaaahha..you wrong for that. 🙂
  
  Please help them.wow….
  
  Why are yall so full of hate? Nene is probably ROTF laughing at strangers who can not possibly stop her money! Nothing good will EVER happen for people who are always negative. No matter what she does,its never good, according to yall.How sad is that…Do you not understand that she is living her dream.and she dont even know you exist! How pathetic! Yall are in little hateful clic’s.Are Yall grown women? Lord I hope not.
  
  Kelly
  
  Just because someone disagrees, it doesn’t make them a hater! Does she know that you exist?
  
  ughhhhh
  
  @kelly,STHU! There was nothing dis respectful in please help them’s post.I hate silly grown folk.SIT!
- Kelly Cook
  
  She is better than Wendy Williams.
  
  ck
  
  Unfortunately, Wendy’s first words about Nene being a contestant were, "She’s not gonna win; she’s too big and she’s gonna be eliminated quickly after 2 rounds, like I was." Still there, still dancing, still entertaining, being her authentic self (95% of the time). Wendy fails to realize that Nene may be tall like her, but she is not top-heavy with narrow man-hips like Wendy. Nene has a coke-bottle figure (even though it may not be a size 14).Whenever I see Wendy come from backstage toward the camera, it looks like she is about to topple over…Wendy must have been in one of her cocaine-induced states to have spent money getting her very unattractive boob job; her stylist should go back to fashion school.
- riann
  
  I really enjoy watching Nene dance….she may not win but I hope she goes a long way.
- Barb Hamlin
  
  I think she´s doing a great job. I´m happy for her. Go NeNe.
- And dats jus how I feel…
  
  I think she did a really good job! She should consider dancing in heels. It will make her much lighter on her feet.
- Grandiva Black
  
  Im not seeing what you all are seeing. I see her doing the movements and I applaud her endurance but she is NOT a good dancer…at all.
- Kymberly M. Thornton
  
  I stopped watching when Billy Dee left.
  
  ck
  
  When Billy Dee was announced in the lineup, it felt to me that it was a sympathy invitation for him to dance (and make a little change?????). He still has that smile and name recognition fan club, but he has never been known for dancing or even any action movie where he had to run or jump. As we say in the South, "Bless his little soul."
- Judy Friday
  
  Great job Nene
- Lawanda
  
  Nene DANCED last night but it was not the salsa. Lynn finally spoke on her using personality and entertainment in light of technique. The producers have gotten the publicity/interest they wanted and now it’s time to focus on the contestants who actually have a chance at winning the trophy. I respect her for having the confidence to get out there and have fun.
- Gregg La
  
  Did it or made and ate some, there was no salsa in that mess.
- Ordered Steps
  
  Happy for you NeNe but the smile looks so fake. I’m used to you having a bad attitude. Don’t know the nice NeNe.
- Danielle Green
  
  it was A.W.F.U.L.

  Say what y’all want about Mrs. Ne Ne Leakes, but that woman is amazing!!!!!!! I live for Ne Ne!

  …LOL – you must not have much of a life if you live for her…hahahahaha
- Andrea Bowers
  
  I think she did great, Love Nene, keep doing your thing!
- Diann Simmons
  
  I think she´ improving each week. She´s doing better than Wendy. Will she win? /probably not but I aplaude her efforts !!!
- Susan McGee
  
  i loved that her husband´s tie matched her outfit <3
- Philly Finest!!
  
  This is the longest Tony has been on..usually he is booted off.
  
  It’s smart doing a lot of crowd interaction which helps.
  
  She is not the best ,but she is doing okay.
  
  Greg is looking good too!
  
  Essence
  
  That was well said..im totally a NENE fan but she cannot dance…I give her an A+ for getting out there and trying. I no I couldn’t do it..but lets keep in mind people if she was a great dancer she would not be on the show bc one of the requirements are to have not been trained in ballroom dancing prior to the show
- Gwendolyn Gwendella Johnson
  
  Since I´m no dancer I really don´t know what to look for so I just enjoy the performances. She may not win but she gets an E for serious effort. They all do.
- Jane
  
  NeNe …doesn’t add up how you are still on DWTS you look straight ridiculous dancing…like a big ole’ moose.
  
  Riann
  
  Hatin ain’t easy , is it ?

  No hate…just speaking the truth and my opinion.

  beautiful.couple bless.

  Big Bird was shaking her thang huh?
  
  Len wants to see her more light on her feet…ah good luck with that.
  
  Chewy doesn’t have a clue..
  
  I cannot stop laughing….

  Cudos.
- justbeingme
  
  I don’t care how she looked to her haters…honestly, I don’t even care how she looked to her fans (and I am one of them)…the thing that keeps me impressed with Nene Leakes is this chick’s HUSTLE!!!
  
  To start where she started from… rejection from her mother and being raised by someone she questioned as her father…to being a young mother in an abusive relationship…having to make ends meet however she could (strippin’ & get stolen phone svs)…to move on and star on 3 different major networks, endorsements deals, owning several businesses including production status with Bravo! And on nothing but the strength of her personality and God’s grace (we all know Nene only knows how to hood dance…but d*amn her hustle is the BEST that I have ever seen!)
  
  Like her or Not…Nene Leakes is tall, awkward, loud, over- sensative, truthful, funny and loyal friend (until you cross her…which also makes her very REAL & genuine), she has used EVERY opportunity wisely and now this chick is a BRAND. So much so, that when they put these reality shows together…they purposely attempt to cast a "Nene Leakes" type!

  Your comment was very prolific of NeNe Lekes. She has taken the opportunities that have been given to her and made them successful for her and her family. I, too, have to admire what she is doing on DWTS; she is not a professional dancer but she does seem to pull it off and make it entertaining for the public. Admire her hustle as well; she has an attitude that very few people in Hollywood can match. NeNe will always have haters; but I hope it doesn’t every deter her from staying in the game of being a successful African American Black woman. YT women would luv to figure out how she does it; if only they knew; it comes from within. You either got it or you don’t…:)
  
  versatile
  
  You both sound like i did. I too loved Nene’s hustle and the "IT" thing that she’s definitely taking advantage of now and hopefully tomorrow. Though I’m nobody, I WAS a loyal fan but not so enamored to be blinded by all the lights and glamor surrounding her, when she as far as I’ve seen, threw a very close and loyal friend under the bus for sole satisfaction of impressing Andy Cohen. While she must have known her friend long enough to know that she is a wife first, how could it be that she’s not genuine enough to be a friend outside that disfunctional marriage, and settle differences the way REAL friends do? Yes, Peter once again AND successfully alienated his wife from the only one which just happened to be a woman to stand up to his bitch azz…there must be something soulful that Nene could express to show that she’s not that cold. Still heartbroken.
  
  versatile
  
  the only reason she’s given so far sounds like a school girl tantrum. elementary at that. Because Cynthia/Marlo FILMED with Kenya? So fucking WHAT??!! These women have other things they can talk about which does not and does not HAVE to be about YOU.
  
  versatile
  
  I can’t remember what Nene’s storyline WAS this season. Other than being angry with Kenya at charity event she was all but invisible. Even Pillow Talk made her look bad and the cast really made that episode relevant. Kandi and Kenya had more relevance this season.
  
  LeLeJ
  
  Your comment was well written. But..But..Let’s get something straight right now about Queen Andy Cohen. Ain’t nobody going to outshine Miss Cohen; you better best believe that..lol. NeNe and the rest of them knows how far to go with Andy Cohen. He gets all of his white and Black women (and a few Latin women) to act a fool on his Housewives shows and you better come with your A-game or else he will fire your azz in a New York minute. Does anyone remember Maloof of Beverly Hills it was said he fired her on the day of the reunion and she is the richest one out of all of them. Old-head Jill ain’t been back on the New York one. Although I do think NeNe and Kenya are gonna drive white white azz crazy with all the bitching back and forth with each other. But, again, there is only one queen and his name is Miss Andy Cohen.
  
  versatile
  
  Adrianne Maloof should NEVER have been on that show. This woman has more money than Andy Cohen makes. $600mil+. Adrienne wasn’t fired. She chose not to sit on stage in crossfire for 15+ hours for not even a mil which she could have bought gold leaf toilet paper to wipe her dogs azzez. This show literally dissolved her marriage via Brandi Glanville who is Bravo’s most ratchet puppet. Trust, Lisa Vanderpump will NOT return next season. Jill on the other hand would like to return. Why? Because some vain women like their wealth displayed. Now Nene, maybe for behind the scenes reasons has been acting brand new. It’s like the tale of The Emperor Has New Clothes, while in fact the Emperor was naked. But surrounded himself like Kim Jun Ill, with only SUBJECTS that dared not tell him the truth. Nene, open your eyes and see that you are not showing your audience the person they want to be a fan of. To say that you "don’t give a damn about what these people think of me " is a bit too vain. You’re not still cat fighting over pole money on club floors. Even so, you shouldn’t let them hear you say it. You have to give love to receive the love that you cried in that L.A. parade for. You can still make us believe, but only by actions and words. That won’t stop you from keeping it real. A little kindness like the sincere attention you gave Porsha in her time of need goes a long way. IJS

  Being successful does not mean you need to BLOCK the blessings of others, friends or strangers. Having a bad attititude will not help keep an open door open. If your success does not make you happy and humble, what is the point?
  
  Psionikk
  
  YAAAAAWNNNNN she still has a stank attitude and is a hypocrite.
  
  ck
  
  I.T.A. She takes what is given to her, the good and the bad and uses it to get what she really wants and needs. That IS what "hustle" is all about. It’s ingrained in black women, and I’d think (even though I don’t like her shit-stirring) that every black woman who has had to heat her children’s bath water on the stove because her ex- wasn’t paying child support, or had to go fishing in somebody’s lake to make dinner a few nights, or who was passed over because her skin was the wrong color (fair, medium, or dark, but still seen as a "nigger" by the HR department)- I would think now would be a good time to applaud and support her in a show slanted AWAY from black dance styles (dance that relieves our pain or stress)…that’s why I’m wishing her the best…go back to the negative critiques when RHOA comes back on Sunday nights. See you then!
