That may not be on my 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: Wikipedia anymore, but it used to be one of my 18 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: favorite little tidbits.

You 20 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: are not going to want to miss this. Who will 21 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: I be dedicating my dance to?

First though, 24 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: I am hot off the press line for week four, 25 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: marking one month of competition, and tonight was Disney Night, 26 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: so you may notice I'm not in my wardrobe tonight. 27 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: In the past, I've come off the press line, I've 28 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: run in here, and I have started this here podcast. 29 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: It occurred to us we are making other people and 30 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: other departments wait while I had weight to take off 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: my costume, wait to cut. They sometimes sew my hair 32 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: into itself, so like today for Disney Night, I was 33 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Blue from the Jungle Book, and we put my hair 34 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: in the shape of cute little bear ears in order 35 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: to make sure they don't go anywhere that they're super secure. 36 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: They literally take a needle and thread and they sew 37 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: your hair into itself. And then at the end of 38 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: the night, I can't take that down. I'm not dressed 39 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: in gentsen with a pair of scissors by my hair. Insane, 40 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. So the hair and makeup department stays to 41 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: help me get out of my wardrobe and hair and 42 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: makeup stuff, not just me, all of the competitors. But 43 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: so anyway, I have changed, I have done the press line. 44 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Disney Night was amazing. I thought all the performances were spectacular. 45 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: The opening night choreographed by the one and only Mandy Moore, 46 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: guest of this podcast, that you guys absolutely loved. I've 47 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: heard so much great feedback about her episode. She is 48 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: a true gem of a human and an absolute talent. 49 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: The pros all love working with her. There's just such 50 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: a difference working with her than there is with working 51 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: with other choreographers, so she is spectacular. Opening number was amazing. 52 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: It's one of the maybe the best Disney Night I've 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: ever seen as a fan of the show. So I 54 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: don't know what your thoughts were, but I think it 55 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: was top tier. I danced a quick step with Pasha too, 56 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: I Want to Be Like You the Monkey song from 57 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: the Jungle Book. I've always loved the Jungle Book. I 58 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: love this song. It's got those iconic little moments. I 59 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: want to walk like you, talk like you, be like you. 60 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: From the moment Pasha and I started talking about Disney Night, 61 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: what did we want to do? The Jungle Book was 62 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: right up there at the top of my list for possibilities. 63 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: And the minute I said it, Pasha was like, oh, 64 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I want to be like you. Is 65 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: a perfect quick step, and I said, great, let's do it. 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the quick step, but let's 67 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: do it. Turns out the quick step is quick. It's 68 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: also ballroomy. That's not a word, but I'm saying it anyway, 69 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: which means lots of frame, you know, Like Pasha describes 70 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: it as looking like bananas. So much banana talk this 71 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: week between Pasha being King Louis the Ape and me 72 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: being Blue the Bear, and our frame being like opposing bananas. 73 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: So Pasha likes to take two bananas and put them 74 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: back to back, and that's what our frame should look like. 75 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: I have a bit of a janky neck. I don't 76 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: have a great neck. For one thing, it's very short 77 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: and squatty. For another thing, it cracks very easily and 78 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: it gets very stiff, and like, I don't have a long, 79 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: graceful giraffe neck, and yet you have to for a 80 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: lot of these dances. So I'm really still working on that. 81 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: And this dance is a bit of a challenge because 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: you go from bouncing around very quickly to with very 83 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: little time having to be long, graceful and elegant and 84 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: like a banana. So anyway, I didn't think I was 85 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: going to love this dance. I freaking love it. It's by 86 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: far my favorite dance we've done thus far. We've done 87 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: a tango, a fox trot, the chat scha, and now 88 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: the quick step. The quick step is by far my favorite. 89 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel like Chachag I've given a good shot 90 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: to because I was injured that week and I couldn't 91 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: feel my kneecap floating around and all the fluid, and 92 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: so I feel like I would have enjoyed that dance 93 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: more if I wasn't so worried about whether or not 94 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: my leg was gonna hold up my body. But no 95 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: matter what, the quick step is definitely my favorite. It's 96 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: bubbly and fun, and Pasha and I got to show 97 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: a really fun, super playful side of our personalities, which 98 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: is just kind of the dominating factor of our personalities. 99 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: We have so much fun together. Every day, although we're 100 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: working really hard, is spent just like laughing and telling 101 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: each other backstories for what's going on in this dance 102 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: and you know, like I remember Week one with the tango, 103 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a feeling of like 104 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: trying to contain some of my smiling, joyful nature because 105 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: a tango was supposed to be a little intense, and 106 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: I didn't do a great job of containing that in 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: week one. But in this week, Week four quick Step, 108 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I didn't have to contain it at all, and that 109 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: just felt really nice. I just got to smile the 110 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: whole time and look at my friend who is my 111 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: choreographer and dance partner, and we just got to have fun. 112 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: So it was a really great week. I'm a little 113 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: disappointed that our scores didn't improve, obviously, I'm thrilled that 114 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: our scores didn't go down. I feel like that would 115 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: have been really disappointing. But I was really hoping that 116 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: tonight was going to be the night that I saw 117 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: my first eight and it didn't happen yet, So the 118 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: good news is I still have that to look forward to. 119 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: We were told for this night, Disney Night, that we 120 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: could pick any song from the Disney catalog, and that 121 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: specifically they were hoping for a focus on Disneyland because 122 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: tonight's Disney Night was in celebration of Disneyland Resorts seventieth celebration. 123 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: Disneyland has been around for seventy years. The Jungle Cruise 124 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: opened at Disneyland on day one, so the Jungle Cruise 125 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: has been around for all seventy years, which is another 126 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: reason we thought it was a perfect movie and song 127 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: to choose for tonight. We got to go to Disneyland 128 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: to shoot some of our packages and the car picked 129 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: us up super early in the morning. We got down 130 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: to Disneyland, we got to ride the Jungle Cruise. We 131 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: got to eat a doll whip. So Pasha, you guys 132 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: have heard me joke about how much Pasha likes rice cakes. 133 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: Pasha also loved more than anything if like for his 134 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: number one favorite sweet food is ice cream. He loves 135 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: ice cream, specifically ice cream, not gelato, although there are 136 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: some gelatos he likes, but he really likes ice cream. 137 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: His favorite milkshake is a pineapple milkshake. Pasha has never 138 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: had a doll whip. He's been to Disneyland a bunch 139 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: of times. For some reason, he's never tried a dole whip. 140 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: He didn't even know they existed. So I was thrilled 141 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: because I love me some food, and I love me 142 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: some Disney Park food. So I was thrilled to introduce 143 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: him to a doll whip they had, I think it's 144 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: fairly new, something called the Pineapple Upside Down Sunday and 145 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: it is a pineapple upside down cake with doll whip 146 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: soft serve and a caramel drizzle. And he said he 147 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: was gonna or toward that. He was like, yeah, that's 148 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: definitely what I'm getting. And I was like, oh, just 149 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: why don't you just be a purist and get the 150 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: little like classic one like I'm gonna get. And he's like, no, 151 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: I want this one. And I was like, okay, ah, 152 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: he ordered, He ordered right. It was really good. The 153 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: cake was a nice little texture. It was great. Anyway, 154 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking too much about food, so you can tell 155 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm probably hungry. So that was really fun. I got 156 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: to introduce him to that. Now that's going to be 157 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: a staple of every time Danny and Pasha take Kiki 158 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: to Disneyland, They're going to have to get the Pineapple 159 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: Upside Down Sunday. We got to ride the Jungle Cruise, 160 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: which was super fun. We also got to ride Pirates 161 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: of the Caribbean, which was really really fun. Those are 162 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: two of my favorite rides there. That was great. And 163 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,359 Speaker 1: then when we left we had to go after Disneyland, 164 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: so the car picked us up at five forty five 165 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: in the morning. We got down there around seven forty 166 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: five in the morning. We wrapped around ten forty five, 167 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: and then we had rehearsal at one. From one to five, 168 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: Pasha and I were starving. It's the only thing we 169 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: had eaten was dole whip and a banana. We lots 170 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: of bananas on this show, and so on the way 171 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: home we grabbed turkey legs and French fries, and Pasha 172 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: and I sat in the back of the car and 173 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: devoured turkey legs. We had grease all over our face 174 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: and all over our fingers, and at the end of 175 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: our rehearsal we went to go record the dance and 176 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: I got real close to the mirror for the first 177 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: time and realized I still had turkey grease on the 178 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: edge of my nose. It had been there for four hours. 179 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: And not only did he not notice, he didn't tell 180 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: me and he didn't notice. So I wore an incredible 181 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: dress that day. I've been following this fantastic talented woman 182 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: named Kelsey. Her Instagram handle is at rope Drop Design 183 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: and she takes vintage, officially licensed Disney Wares, sheets, comforters, 184 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: you name it, and then she upcycles them, which is 185 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: a term to say that she takes something old and 186 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: vintage and turns it into something new and modern. And 187 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: she took a jungle Book children's bed sheet and she 188 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: turned it into a fabulous, adorable puff sleeve dress. Like 189 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: the puff sleeve is like making all my aerial dreams 190 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: come true. And the jungle Book print is so cute. 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: It was the perfect length, it fit me perfectly. She 192 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: asked for my measurements, sent them to her, and she 193 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: made it in rapid time, sent it to me and 194 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,359 Speaker 1: it was so cute. And then as a little homage 195 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: to Boy Meets World and to Tapanga, I paired it 196 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: with a pair of red cowboy boots. And if you're 197 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: a fan of Boy Meets World, you know that Tapanga 198 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: war red cowboy boots in the Disney World episode of 199 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 1: Boy Meets World. Kind of that famous photo of me 200 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: in the white shorts and the red and white striped 201 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: mock turtleneck crop top with the red cowboy boots, and 202 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,119 Speaker 1: so I wanted to give a little nod to Tapega 203 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: and to Boy Meets World with that outfit. And yeah, 204 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: then we went to rehearsal and rehearse the rest of 205 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: the day, and you guys got to see the dance tonight. 206 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: It was so great. It was our first real fast 207 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: dance all week long. So when we normally do something 208 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: kind of fast like the chat Shaw, we slowed it 209 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: down like we would rehearse it. And Pasha has an 210 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: app that he can play the song and then slow 211 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: it down and play it at eighty percent speed. And 212 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: so to make sure that my brain computes all the 213 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: steps that I need to do, we start at like 214 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: eighty and then we jump up to eighty five, and 215 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: then we go to ninety and then eventually I get 216 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: to one hundred percent speed. This dance we never had 217 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: to do that with, which is really great. I was 218 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: able to do it from at one hundred percent kind 219 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: of from the beginning, and rehearsals were really fun. I 220 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: was nervous that I wasn't gonna have the stamina. It's 221 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: so much jumping and so much hopping, And on day one, 222 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: Pasha had no idea what he was in for Was 223 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: I gonna be a natural at this dance? Was I 224 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: gonna be terrible at this dance? And on the first 225 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: day he was like, Okay, let's practice this move and 226 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: then he like walked me through them. And it's the 227 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: part it's the Lindy Hop part, which is where in 228 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: the middle of the dance, we like I step back 229 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: on my foot. It's called a rock step and then 230 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: a kickstep. And he was like, the combination is a 231 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: rock step, a kickstep, a kickstep, a rock step, and 232 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: then it's kickstep, kickstep, kickstep, rock step. And he shows 233 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: it to me and I'm like okay, and then he 234 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: takes my hand and I do it, and I do 235 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: it pretty well, like kind of right off the bat. 236 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: And you should have seen the relief on Pasha's face 237 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: and his whole body was like, oh, okay, okay, all right, okay, 238 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: you can do this. And I was like, yeah, I 239 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: think I can do this. He's like, no, you have 240 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: no idea. This is real make or break, Like, this 241 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: is a real make or break thing. If you can't 242 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: do this, you're just not gonna have a good quick step. 243 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: And I picked it up pretty fast. It is interesting 244 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: to me that that is the part that then tonight 245 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: the judges said I made a mistake, and Bruno said, no, 246 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know. He's like, you know, you know 247 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: the mistake that you made, and I wanted to I 248 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: thought to myself, like, do I know the mistake that 249 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: I made? Because I definitely know when I'm off anytime 250 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: we've rehearsed the dance, I am the first person to 251 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: be like, oop's missed a step. And if I don't 252 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: know exactly what the step is, I still I'll know 253 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: the area where I'm off. I'm like, yeah, it was 254 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: something over there near the rock step or the kickstep, 255 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: like did I gather? Did I not rock step? Like? 256 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: What did I do? And I didn't feel like anything 257 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: was off, but we went back and watched it. So 258 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: somebody recorded it on the monitor for us, and we 259 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: went and watched it. And although I'm not technically off, 260 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: there is a moment in the rock step kickstep where 261 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: Pasha and I are not perfectly SYNCD, which means I 262 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: was probably half a beat late on one of my kicks. 263 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: I didn't even miss the kick. It wasn't like I 264 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: missed a step. It's just that the timing wasn't perfect. 265 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: So that's what I think is the mistake that they're 266 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: talking about during the Lindy Hop. And on the one hand, 267 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm bummed that that kind of what feels like a 268 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: kind of a minor mistake was something that they all 269 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: really noticed and felt like was kind of a big deal. 270 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: And on the other hand, I'm really happy that with 271 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: a like difficult dance with all kinds of frame and 272 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: all the stuff about my shoulders we've talked about and 273 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: all of that, that like that's the thing they commented on. 274 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: That means everything else was really great. And I'm trying 275 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: to find all the silver linings where I can so 276 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: that I continue to stay motivated to just learn and 277 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: become better. We after week, so that's kind of where 278 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm at. We got three sevens, which is the same 279 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: score we had last week. I'm still really looking forward 280 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: to getting an eight. Maybe next week will be that week. 281 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: Today's camera blocking started with not a good performance for 282 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: me from the beginning. I know how important counting is 283 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: while I go through the dance. It helps me stay 284 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: directly on beat. It helps me know exactly what my 285 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: steps are. If you hear me counting out loud in 286 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: my rehearsal videos, you'd be like, what even is she saying? 287 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: And I can give you an example, like the dance starts. 288 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: You hear the four clicks. There's like click click, click click, 289 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: and at the top of the dance, it's one beat 290 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: per move because I'm doing my feet, so it goes 291 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: so one two, three, four, five, six seven eight one 292 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: two three four five, and then Pasha pops up and 293 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: then from there we just count odds, so it's five 294 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: seven one three five seven, one three five seven. Then 295 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: we run down the stairs and then I'm no longer counting, 296 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: and after we run down the stairs, we go too slow, 297 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: quick and quick slow quick and quick step pop step 298 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: pop gather and then you go rock kick kick rock. 299 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: I That's what I'm saying in my head as I go. 300 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: Not only does it tell me what I'm doing, but 301 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: it helps keep me on beat. This morning, for my 302 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: first camera blocking, even though I know how important counting is, 303 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna try this one without counting 304 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: it and just see like what kind of performance I 305 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: get out of it. And then I learned, you know 306 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: what happens when you don't count it in your head, 307 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: you get not so great performance, and there were a 308 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: couple of places that I was off, and we did 309 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: it a second time, significantly better the second time, and 310 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: then we did a dress rehearsal, and in the dress rehearsal, 311 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: I definitely messed up the Lindy Hop. I did step 312 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: pop step pop gather, gathered my feet, and then I 313 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: skipped my rock step and I went from gathering my 314 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: feet directly into kickstep, which meant that I was completely 315 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: off time with Pasha, and he like grabbed my hand 316 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: in a way that let me know I was off, 317 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: and by the time we got to the next kickstep, 318 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: I was back on with him. But I definitely made 319 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: a mistake during my dress rehearsal, which is a little 320 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: bit of a bummer because that's your last and true opportunities, 321 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: your first and only time you're doing your dance in 322 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: your costume, with your hair and makeup completely done, so 323 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: it's the closest you're going to have to doing it 324 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: for the show, and yeah, you really want that one 325 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: to go well. So it did go well. Everything else 326 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: was great and it was overall fine, but I did 327 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: screw up the Lindy Hop there for sure. Pasha was 328 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: so happy with the way tonight's dance went, and honestly, 329 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: like every week, everyone's super supportive. This week, the amount 330 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: of people who came up to us and said, oh 331 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, this is by far your best performance, this 332 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: is your best dance. This is like everyone was saying 333 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 1: it. It was very sweet.

I think I e 373 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: was also in the bottom three, and I know that 374 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: they say that it's not necessarily really the bottom three, 375 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: that only one person is the person who goes home 376 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: was definitely in the bottom three, and that the other 377 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: two people may have even at the most scores. There's 378 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: like they just kind of throw that in there. But 379 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: still in my mind, I'm going to treat it like 380 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: a wake up call and I don't ever want to 381 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: be in the bottom three again, which I know there's 382 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: no way around that it's eventually gonna happen, but I 383 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: don't like it. It was a bad feeling. And next 384 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: week I just want to I really want to get 385 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: my first eight. That's the that's the main goal. That's 386 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: my main I mean, obviously the main goal is to 387 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: become better and better every week, but like, how do 388 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: you see that you're getting better and better every week, 389 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: hopefully your scores improved. So I'm really hoping for an eight. 390 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: Standing up there when that red light hits and you 391 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: were finding out that you're in the bottom three, and 392 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: then they do those long, beautiful, good TV dramatic moments 393 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: where they just don't say anything for a long time, 394 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: and my heart was beating through my chest and I 395 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: could feel Pasha, you know, like taking deep breaths, and 396 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: then you know, you don't hear your name, you hear 397 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: two p ball, you hear Hilaria and Gleb, And the 398 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: feeling of you being relieved that you're safe is is not. 399 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: You don't even have like a few seconds of that 400 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: being your primary feeling. It's absolutely simultaneous. At the exact 401 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: same breath that you're like, I'm safe, the opposite feeling 402 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: is and they are not.
