Most recently, Carly shot Julie practicing her weather-themed routine at the Absolute Ballroom Dance Center in Pittsburgh.

Julie is matched up with Andrew Pueschel, the artistic director at the Absolute Ballroom Dance Center. The owner of the Pittsburgh DanceSport Championships and the Pittsburgh DanceSport Collegiate Challenge, Andrew also competes professionally with his dance partner Amanda Wolf.

Julie and Andrew have combined two dance styles into their routine -- the Foxtrot and Cha Cha. Two fun songs, including "Singin' in the Rain," are remixed. The two didn't want to reveal the other song. I can tell you it's a fun one also about the weather and just perfect for our chief meteorologist.
