Dancing With the Stars Season Premiere Recap: Let's Get Ready to Rumba (or Foxtrot)!

Was this the best Dancing With the Stars Season Premiere night in history?!
The judges seemed to think so, and unlike Chris Harrison on The Bachelor, they don't throw around superlatives like that every single episode of every season.
So you know Monday's Season 14 opener was at least pretty good, and with no one on the block tonight, the contestants were free to let loose, pressure-free!
Not to say we didn't learn who's in it to win it and whose cringe-inducing moves will likely make their stint on DWTS a short one, but all are safe this week!
Let's get right to the biggest story, though: Jaleel White is no Steve Urkel.
Jaleel White and Kym Johnson
His foxtrot with Kym Johnson closed the show, but DWTS saved the best dance for last apparently, as the former Family Matters star posted a 26! In Week One!
Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins was elegant during her own foxtrot with Mark Ballas, also scoring a 26 and tying Urkel Jaleel for first place Monday.
Also coming out of nowhere? Cuban actor William Levy, a telenovela star known as "the Mexican Brad Pitt" apparently. Funny as that is, his skills are no joke!
His cha-cha with Cheryl Burke had Carrie Ann thanking ABC for her job. That about sums it up right there, has Levy swept into a solid third with 24 points.
The 67-year-old Gladys Knight made the AARP crowd proud with a cha-cha that "oozed rhythm," according to Len. That's right, Len. Well done, Gladys!
