Artem Chigvintsev Thinks Maureen McCormick Deserved Higher 'DWTS' Premiere Scores - Read His Week One Blog!

Every week, professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev will be writing a blog for JustJared.com and sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from Dancing With the Stars.

For week one, Artem opens up about his Viennese Waltz with partner Mauren McCormmick, set to “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” which earned them 22 points.

“I am so proud of Maureen, I think that she did amazing,” Artem writes. “Obviously we need to clean and fluff up the routines. The scores were kind of lame, I think she definitely deserved higher, but maybe I’m bias. I’m glad to have the first dance out of the way. I’m excited for the season!”
