Viet Aussie Star on Dancing with the Stars
I cannot get over that Vietnamese Aussie comedian, Anh Do, was on Australia's Dancing with the Stars, and he was a FINALIST. Viets have ballroom dancing in our blood. "Thanks" to French colonialism, the cha-cha is Viet Nam's unofficial national dance. This extends to the diaspora where nightclubs will often have cha-cha music and most everyone from the refugee/immigrant generation can cut the rug with this latin staple.
