After a hard day in the studio trying to get those dance moves down, what better way to relax and unwind…30 minutes at the tanning salon.

Yes, she might be all set to make her debut on DWTS next week, but Kate Gosselin still has a few of her weekly rituals she simply cannot give up.

So, after dancing herself silly with partner Tony Dovolani at her house in PA, Kate had the new man in her life take her off for a sunbed sessions at her local beauty parlor.

And Tony also got himself all bronzed-up so they can both look like true ballroom dancers on screen.

Reality TV mom Kate Gosselin seems to be going through yet another image shake-up as she prepares herself for her next major gig on DWTS.

Rumor has it she wasn’t too pleased with her hair extensions, so while in NY she spent EIGHT hours in the salon having them removed…and here’s the latest look.

Kate actually looks quite good we think and we’re sure it will make it easier for dance partner, Tony Dovolani, to throw her around the dancefloor.

Reality TV star Kate Gosselin was pretty in pink today as she reported for her first day of dance training with her new Dancing With The Stars partner, Tony Dovolani, in New York.

Kate and Tony were all smiles as they were greeted by our photographer as they entered an uptown studio, ready for a long and tiring day of dance moves.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch in PA, workmen were hard at it constructing a purpose-built dance studio in Kate’s basement.

It will mean she can bust some moves in private with Tony while the kids are at school.

We can’t wait to see Kate in action!
