Here are a few signs you’re a dance/music/acrobatic company superfan: You can’t wait for the next Cirque du Soleil tent to go up in downtown Miami, despite the hellish traffic it creates on Biscayne Boulevard. When you visit Orlando, you stop to “ohh” and “ahh” one more time at the…

The good news first: You won’t have to watch Tim Tebow shake his bon-bon on TV this year. (Not until football season starts, anyway.)The bad news: You will, however, be subjected to mediocre shimmying and shaking by a whole roster of D-list celebrities on Dancing With the Stars’ new season,…
