Do they have a personality disorder ?

Well, I think they are narcissistic and extremely egotistical.

Most likely the person does not have a personality disorder. Sometimes the best way to deal with a death is to fill your mind with other things. For example, dancing. Learning new choreography and worrying about performing eases the pain of dealing with a major trauma like that.
This is a defense mechanism the brain has in place. Something as big as a death takes a lot of mental capacity to deal with. If a person tries to deal with everything all at once, they can become overloaded and break down. To keep this from happening, the mind allows itself to work on processesing easier tasks until the emotional pain has lessened enough to process.
Because a person is unsually focused on these other tasks, for a short while they excell at them.. For example, Brett Favre and Michael Jordan's performance after the deaths of their fathers.
I had six friends and family members die in the last six months. Some of them were very violent deaths that needed a lot to cope with. There comes a time when you have to just stop thinking about bad stuff, and just focus on anything else. It's the times that nothing else is going on that it becomes most painful.
It is not narcissistic or egotistical, it is a way to cope.

Jane & Marie (who hasn't even come back, yet) are neither egotistical nor narcisstic for dancing, after losing a loved one. They don't have a personality disorder - that is irrelevant in this case. As someone mentioned, they have contracts to follow. If they stopped "living" - they would be depressed 24/7. They have families & work - life goes one. If they believe in God - they have nothing to worry about. Their souls seem to be at peace.

Everyone has different ways of mourning. Some need time alone, some need comfort and attention, and some carry on and mourn in private. It is not right to judge people anyway, and again, since there are different ways of dealing with issues such as loss of a loved one, we have to let people heal in their own way in their own time. If keeping busy, dancing, anything to create a distraction is what they need to get through the tough times, then so be it. There are much more destructive ways of dealing with issues that are not productive at all. Bottom line, life goes on, and it is not unhealthy to keep living and keep dancing on a television show after losing a parent. Let them do as they wish, they are not hurting anyone.

in all probability the bare Brothers Band by way of fact they have not have been given any skills, and that they do no longer look to be even playing, they only persist with the choreography o.k.. additionally Hanna Montana. it incredibly is pointless, even to a 17 year previous male.

No. Its best to keep busy when someone you love dies. And what the person said about the contracts. .

Well..if you were someone's parent (I don't know if you are or not) wouldn't you want your kid to finish what they started? Maybe the people that you speak of believe that that is how their parent would feel.

they have a commitment, and they are doing what they know their parents would want them to do. Finish what they started and make them proud.

Not necessarily. They have contracts they must keep if they don't want a lawsuit.
