We caught up with DANCE YOUR ASS OFF host MARISSA JARET WINOKUR over the week-end to talk about the popularity of her hit Oxygen series. We mentioned to WINOKUR that the last time we did a story on her show, we were deluged with questions about how to become a contestant but couldn’t find any answers. She told us that not only doesn’t she know how to get on the show but she doesn’t even know if DANCE YOUR ASS OFF is coming back for a second season. (Click on the media bar below for audio):

I love the show and I would also love to be a contestant. I am 6ft and weigh around 207 lbs. I have always been a big girl and also have tried thousands of diets and exercise regiments. Dancing is one of my favorite things to do and to learn all those dancing styles while working on losing weight would be so much fun. I pray there will be another season!!!

Hello Marissa!!! My name is LaShaunda Fulton. I am a 34 year old female married with four children. I love them dearly and want to be around for them, and to see them graduate from college, get married, and also be around to play with my grand children. But , my first goal is to be able to continue you keep up with them and run and play with them while their young and still want to run and play. I loved the show and those men and women inspired me and I would love to be a contestant on the show, because I love to dance and I NEED HELP with eating HEALTHY as well as my family and getting an exercise regimen. So please consider me. Thanks
