I could list TONS of reasons why Charo should WIN season 24 of DWTS (she’s up against Olympians Simone Biles & Nancy Kerrigan! and Mr. T!), but I’ve narrowed it down to 5.
1) She’s been performing her entire life.
Check out this performance of “Knock Three Times” she did back in 1971.
And then this performance with Cher back in the mid-70s.
2) She’s HILARIOUS, and loves the gays!
Reading Lady Bunny to filth:
And here with Yara Sofia at WOW’s Holiday Party:
3) She’s been ‘Cuchi-Cuchi’ -ing for decades now, and she STILL has the moves!
Like in this clip of her turning the party on the Jerry Lewis Telethon to Rihanna‘s “Don’t Stop the Music”!
4) She’s a LEGEND!
She won the 2014 ALMA Lifetime Achievement Award! And looked DAMN good doing it!

5) SHE HAS HER OWN DANCE MOVE!
If this doesn’t make her a shoo-in, then I don’t know what does.
Make sure you set your DVRs and tune in to watch the legendary CHARO on Dancing with the Stars when it returns for season 24 on March 20 at 8PM on ABC. Maybe you’ll see Charo at RuPaul’s DragCon April 29 & 30 at the Los Angeles Convention Center?! Get your tickets!
