Jessica: So, Julie, I just saw that “Dancing with the Stars” is on.
Julie: Is it really?
Jessica: Yes. And I can’t believe that it’s still on the air.
Julie: It’s really popular. People really enjoy watching the competitors gradually improve. Because in the beginning there’s fumbling and making mistakes. But you can see them improve and it’s inspiring.
Jessica: That’s really cool. And it’s incredible to see how much training goes into learning a routine. And how much endurance it takes to perform.
Julie: I just feel like some people have an unfair advantage because they might have a background in dancing. They’re more likely to advance further in the show than if they were all amateurs to start.
Jessica: That makes sense. Oh, you’re making it sound very interesting. Maybe I will give it a try.
Julie: We can have a “Dancing with the Stars” girls’ night.
Jessica: Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun.
