The twelve new celebrity dancers and their professional dance partners finally took over the dance floor to show their dancing skills for the first time at the Dancing With The Stars season 13 premiere on Monday (September 19). Ron Artest and his partner Petra Murgatroyd kicked off the show with a Cha Cha to the sound of “Krazy” by Pitbull featuring Lil Jon (watch video below).

This is Petra’s debut on the show after a year on the DWTS troupe. Ron aka Metta World Peace kicked off the show in style with an awesome new haircut/hairstyle and lots of swagger. Unfortunately, Ron’s technique was not nearly enough to impress the judges. I have faith in this man! Ron is no Chad Ochocinco yet he has his own charm.

Len Goodman does not fool around. To the judge, Ron was a total disaster on the dance floor, his footwork was atrocious, and that certainly isn’t Len’s “cup of tea.” Bruno described him a Dance-a-Tron with lots of power and presence. Carrie Ann Inaba thinks Ron is eccentric and kind of sexy, claiming the performance was pretty entertaining.

Score: 14 (5+4+5)
