1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tory spelling an iHeartRadio podcast. So the live

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: premiere of Dancing with the Stars is four days out.

3
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I don't believe this is gonna happen.

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: You guys, It's gonna happen. The show's gonna go on.

5
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in it. This is so crazy. I

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm on this wild ride. And I gotta

7
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: say this so far has been one of the best

8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: experiences I've ever done. Now I'm just a newbie. It's

9
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: just week one. I'm sure it's gonna get unbearably hard.

10
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: It's already unbearably hard, but like in the best joyous way.

11
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: So my partner Pasha and I have been rehearsing every

12
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: day and I think I told you this last time,

13
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: but you know, when I watched the show, I'm like,

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they must have been rehearsing this forever.

15
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: It's perfect. And you don't you get you know, a

16
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: certain amount of days for the first dance, and then

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: five days for every week after. You get to practice

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: and it's like, what, so you learn a new dance

19
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: and we're doing the foxtrot. I can't say anything else

20
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: but that is our technical dance is the fox Trot,

21
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's been a lot. They play your song

22
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: and it's a minute of the song. Now, when I

23
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: first heard about this, I was like, gosh, they're only

24
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: playing a minute of our song and he's like dancing

25
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: for a minute. It's a lot. It's a long routine.

26
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: I was like, really, oh my gosh. I just had

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: no idea going into it. I was just a fan,

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, just a viewer. But it's a it's a

29
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: long routine, and it's also getting to know each other.

30
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so commendable these dance pros. Like I

31
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: feel like I'm a big fan of the show, so

32
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: like I know all of them, like seeing them every week,

33
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: I know all of them. Oh my gosh. Uh you

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You see them every week and

35
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: you get so invested with them and their celebrities each season.

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, just like now being on the

37
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: other side of it, working with my partner, he I mean,

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: his work ethic is insane. And I said to him

39
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the other day, I said, I appreciate you because I

40
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: thought I had good work ethic, but yours is next

41
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: level upon level upon level upon level, and keep in

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: mind his wife, Danny, is also a dance pro. She

43
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: is dancing with Dwight Howard this season, who is the

44
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: tallest man I've ever seen in my life. I think

45
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: he's seven feet. They have a daughter who's just over

46
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: a year, and they're doing all of this. I'm like,

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: oh my god. I used to be like, oh my god,

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing so much. I have five kids, look at

49
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: all my pickups and drop offs, and now I see

50
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: what they do and I'm like, shut up to myself,

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: like this is nothing. But then you add all this

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: dancing stuff and it's a lot again. But anyway, every season,

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: when a dance pro gets partnered with their celebrity partner,

54
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: they can't just come in with like one main teaching technique.

55
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: This is my opinion from what I've seen. Pasha had

56
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: to do with me, because everybody is different, everybody learns differently.

57
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: And the thing that's been the most challenging for me,

58
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: and I knew this going into it, and I'd said

59
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: it like I've always said, like when I had to

60
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: do any choreography and movies or TV shows, like it

61
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: would take forever, Like the dance steps wouldn't click, and

62
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: it was the same with this. He would show me

63
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: a dance move and I could do it, but then

64
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember it. So I could remember it, but

65
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember if he added another one on. It's

66
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: like what is that game? Like Simon says like yeah, no,

67
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: so yeah, if you into it, I'd be like, wait,

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: what's the first one? Again? It was just it's interesting

69
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: to see how they have so much on their plate

70
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: that they come in and they have to each season

71
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: be like okay, well because, for instance, from watching the show,

72
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: I know he had Ariano Maddox last season, who is

73
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: amazing and she picked up the steps really quick. So

74
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh. I just rewatched the season

75
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: premiere yesterday of Dancing with the Stars season thirty two,

76
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: just for a little refresher course. And I called Pash

77
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: afterwards and I was like, I shouldn't have watched that,

78
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: and he's like why, and he's like, no, no, no, no,

79
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: it's good to watch, so you know, so you're prepared,

80
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: you know what's going to happen, he thought. I was like,

81
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I tanked myself. I'm spiraling and

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: he's like no, no, no, no, it's good. So now you know,

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: and like just a refresher on and there's the audience

84
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: and the judges and where everything is. And I was like,

85
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, that didn't tank me. I was like,

86
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: what tanked me? Is you saying how fast Ariana picked

87
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: up the dance moves and how good she is? And

88
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: all I could think is oh, poor Pasha. He called me.

89
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: He's like, oh my god, are you kidding? And I

90
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, welcome to my brain. So the way

91
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: that was best, I think for him to teach me

92
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: was not like all the moves, so the whole one

93
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: minute song, but we would break it up into like

94
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: three parts and I would learn them and some days

95
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: we would work on just one part and some days

96
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: we'd try to put two words together. Anyway, I'm very

97
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: excited because my dance moves are finally clicking into my brain,

98
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: which is good. Pasha says that my strength, thanks are

99
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: my arms, my posture and my hands. Said, no one ever,

100
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: this is so crazy, you guys. Posture. I was told

101
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: my whole life side bad posture. I'm not kidding you guys,

102
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: because I did. I was told I literally I have

103
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: bad posture, like I walk around like turtle girdle, like

104
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like we look out look at pictures

105
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: and stuff, but this I don't know. Once I started dancing,

106
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: I was like, well, here I am. I'm an actress

107
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: playing the part of a dancer. I stand up straight.

108
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: So I did, and he says it looks good and

109
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: I have good arm moves, good thing for nails. But yeah,

110
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: it's all about my arms and that's good because maybe

111
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: you won't look at my feet. My feet are doing okay,

112
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what, you guys. I'm surprising

113
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: myself through this journey. I really really am, because obviously

114
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, I said no, no, no, no no, I'll

115
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: never be good enough to do this show. And then

116
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: I said yes to the show because it's new me,

117
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: new chapter facing my fears. And I know it's only

118
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: been like two weeks, but I'm really surprising myself with

119
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: how much I can sustain. I asked Pasha the other day.

120
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: We were training in one of the rooms and they

121
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: have you know that you've seen on the show The

122
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Dance Studio every season, and it has all of the

123
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Mirror Ball winners, not all of them, but across one

124
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: wall because obviously there's thirty two. That'd be a lot

125
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: of photos on that wall, and it wasn't big enough.

126
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: But and I was just looking up looking at all

127
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: of them, and I said to Pasha, has an average

128
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Joe or Jane ever won? And he's like, what does

129
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: that mean? And I was like, you know, someone normal

130
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: like me? And he's like, you're normal. I'm like no, no, no, okay,

131
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: wait me, let me find another word. And I was like, well,

132
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: and I said, I just feel like everybody who has

133
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: one has had some sort of you know, movement training

134
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: in their life. Like you know, obviously athletes have won,

135
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: but any actors that have won, if you like look

136
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: at the resume or whatever, look back, you know they

137
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: had dance experience in training, you know, as a kid

138
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: or something like. I don't feel like anyone has ever

139
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: come into this competition that has zero movement skills and

140
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: has won it. Food for thought. But wouldn't that be cool?

141
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: Because I know when I watched this show, I'm watching

142
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: it as you know, the average Jane out there. I

143
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: don't like not in my head like oh, I'm a

144
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: celebrity and like, oh, I know all those celebrities on there.

145
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: I truly go into the mind of a viewer, Like

146
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm a fangirl, right and when I'm watching, I'm just like,

147
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I probably think what everyone thinks, like

148
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: I wish I could be that girl, like, oh my gosh,

149
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: that looks so amazing, and that'd be really cool if

150
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: some person, that some unlikely person want it. I'm not

151
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: gunning for you to vote for me. That's not why

152
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing this right now. I mean, if you like

153
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: what you see, please vote for me. It would be cool.

154
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. I'm done with my rants? Is

155
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: that a ramts? So I really am enjoying the process

156
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: of my dance clothes. Just like to tell you the

157
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: things that I really enjoy. Everybody else comes to rehearsals

158
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: and training with workout clothes on. I don't own workout

159
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. You may know of that. But I

160
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: got leg warmers for days. Let me just tell you

161
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: I have a leg warmer collection. I think I've talked

162
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: about it before. If I haven't, I don't know why

163
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I haven't. So out of storage, you know that the

164
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: storage I found a box of leg warmers and forty

165
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: two of them because I collect leg warmers, and I've

166
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: collected them, and that was just one box. They're not

167
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: including my current situation of leg warmers or other boxes

168
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: of leg warmers. Just one box had forty two that

169
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: was from like just one decade. But yeah, since I

170
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: was twelve, I've been collecting leg warmers. That sounds weird,

171
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 1: collecting leg warmers. I'm a leg warmer hoarder. Well, I

172
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: like to be the first for something cool. No, I

173
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: got obsessed with watching like Fame and Flash Dance when

174
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I was a kid, And I think I've talked about this,

175
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: but I would set up my boom box, my cassette

176
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: player and put my cassette tape in from Flash Dance.

177
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: And my parents own a beach house and during the

178
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: summer we would go there when we weren't Vegas, so

179
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Vegas beach house and it's in Malibu and there's it's

180
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: on a private, beautiful beach, stars all around us, like

181
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: on every side, like when I was a kid, Like

182
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: the Bridges were on one side, Lloyd Bridges and Bow

183
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: Bridges and Jeff Bridges, the whole family, and there was

184
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm blanking some huge football player on the other side

185
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: of us. And then down the beach like the Jacksons

186
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: grew up there. It was like literally like this is

187
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: when I was a baby, like the Jackson five, Like,

188
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was like crazy, so but it's twelve.

189
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: I would go out onto the deck and I would

190
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: put on Flash Dance and put on my leg warmers,

191
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: and I more than that. I mean I had clothes on,

192
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: but the key points here are put on Flash Dance,

193
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: put on leg warmers, and I would dance across the

194
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: beach deck. Usually just on a weekday because it was

195
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: like really like everyone was at work because it was

196
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: all like famous people on the beach, so they were

197
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: all like filming or something I don't know. On weekends,

198
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: like all the kids and teens would comes, so I

199
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. But during the week it was pretty yeah,

200
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: it was pretty quiet, so I felt like I could

201
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: just like pretend to be a dancer, pretend to be

202
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: in flash Dance. But anyway, that started my love of

203
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: leg warmers and now putting it all together, it's all

204
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: coming full circle. Set of pirouet Do I talk dance now?

205
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Is that right? I am able to wear my leg

206
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: warmers and I wear them every day because now you

207
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: know me, tradition. I like tradition, and I get superstitious,

208
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: so I'm like, okay, okay, legwarmers, gotta wear my leg warmers.

209
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: So I wear my leg warmers every single day. And

210
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: I get to be that girl. You guys like that

211
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: girl and flashdance like girls in Fain, Like, oh, I

212
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: get to do that every single day, and so blessed.

213
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where this will go, but the fact

214
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: that I get to go in and rehearse with this

215
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: incredible human that is so supportive and patient and kind

216
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: and so talented. I adore Pasha so much and we're

217
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: like the perfect fit. Yeah, I get to do this

218
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: every day. So as long as this goes on, I'm

219
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: just going to be like, wow, so much gratitude that

220
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: I said yes to this and get to go in

221
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: and do this. And I wear like slip dresses. I

222
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: wear things that make me feel cute. But I can

223
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: work out because you know, I figure. I didn't figure.

224
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: I just did it, and then I was like, oh,

225
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: but it's a good idea. You know, you wear a

226
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: dress on stage, so I might as well get used

227
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: to it. But I just I don't know, work out

228
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: here wouldn't make me feel confident. I feel confident in

229
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: my dresses and my little tank tops and I don't

230
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: know leg warmers, So I wear what makes me feel good,

231
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: and then I feel like I'm a better dancer. So

232
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: the closer it gets to the actual day, the more

233
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: real it becomes. I did my fitting yesterday for my dress,

234
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: and that was really exciting. Daniella, the costume designer, is unbelievable.

235
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: She's amazing, and it's kind of full circle. She had

236
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: worked a long time ago on Charms and so she

237
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: knew my dad and so it's really cool and I

238
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: adore her and secretly, like yesterday, had to go to

239
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: my fitting and then like we just sit on the

240
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: floor and play. Afterwards we were like making things and

241
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: cutting up like lace and stuff, and I was like, oh,

242
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: I just want to I can sit here and play

243
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: with you all day because it's just my world in there.

244
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,119
Speaker 1: But I did get to fit my dress and Daniella

245
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: and I designed it together, which was really cool because

246
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: you get to you're not just put into something on

247
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: the show. You really get to be as hands on

248
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: as you want to be. And you guys know, I

249
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: love being hands on with everything that's in the world

250
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: of creation. So with my dress, it starts with a

251
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: creative deck, which god, I love a good creative deck.

252
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure some celebrities are like, oh cool, great, you

253
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: know it's not their thing. But for me, you know,

254
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: that's where my brain and heart and soul lives. So

255
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: I get to pick my song. Then what happens is

256
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: when you pick your song, and the first one is

257
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of for each celebrity there anthem a song that

258
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: really speaks to them and where you know they are now.

259
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: And this song I picked, it's very personal and I

260
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy it. I don't think you'll really put

261
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: together like foxtrot and this song, which is why I

262
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: think it's rad because foxtrot, to me is something so traditional.

263
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: It's traditionally a ballroom dance, right, so all of the dances, technically,

264
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: you're kind of taking them outside the box, which is

265
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: such a cool world to be in right now, you know,

266
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: doing that with current music and traditional dance. So the

267
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: creative deck, you have a zoom meeting with the whole

268
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: creative team, and justin that runs the creative team is

269
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: amazing and I'm such a huge fan. And yeah, so

270
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: we do a zoom and call and they go through

271
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: the deck, which is like a visual of the set

272
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: of how it'll look and the color palette, and then

273
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: like the transitions into movements through whether there's props or

274
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: just color or lights or you know, change in things

275
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: go into your wardrobe like an inspiration picture and then

276
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: hair inspiration picture, makeup inspiration picture. And it was so

277
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: cool to be a part of that process with them,

278
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: and the fact that they allowed me. I was so

279
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: happy and felt so grateful, and they came into it

280
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: with such cool ideas and I was like, wait, I was, like,

281
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: I said to Justin, he's the creative director. I said,

282
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm a big Pinterest girl, Like, oh, it's my happy

283
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: place Pinterest. I said, would you be offended if I

284
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: made a pinterress board just to share with you? And

285
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: he was like, no, I love that. So I made

286
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: it a Pinterest board for my song that I'm dancing too,

287
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: and I shared it with him and it was awesome

288
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: because it really helped him see where my vision was

289
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: coming from. Since sometimes I'm not good with my I know,

290
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: I talk a lot, but sometimes feelings and emotions I

291
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: can't put into the right word, but I can put

292
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: it into a picture very easily. So so yeah, I

293
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: was able to share that and collectively we drew from

294
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: both of ours everything that you're going to see. And

295
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: I'm super excited about it and my dress. So I

296
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: tried it on yesterday the fitting, and then you know,

297
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: we have to go through details like can you move

298
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: in it? You know, because I'm going up and down

299
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: and doing some doing some tricks. I don't know they're

300
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: called tricks, but I'm doing some stuff, and you know,

301
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: I have to see how my dress will move. And

302
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: I also had to learn that a conventional fox trot

303
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: dress is like a totally covered dress. It goes to

304
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: your ankles, it swings around, and in my brain, I

305
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: was creating a dress for the Red carpet. So so

306
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: yesterday we had to kind of alter it a little

307
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: bit because Danielle my vision, like she executed it was amazing.

308
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: But then in reality, once I really put married the

309
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: two together in my head and showed Pasha, it was like, technically,

310
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: a fox dress doesn't have a slit in it. I

311
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: was like, I know, we're thinking outside the box, right,

312
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: And I was like no, but it all kind of

313
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: has to be cohesive or it doesn't work, you know.

314
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: So I had to let go of the red carpet

315
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: dream and we're sealing that slit up a little bit

316
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: because I'd prefer in the long run, beautiful, graceful movements,

317
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: and that includes the dress and the weight of the

318
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: fabric and when I spin, getting that air in the dress.

319
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, sorry, it's like a fashion tutorial suddenly anyway.

320
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: So I haven't decided how I'm going to wear my

321
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: hair yet. I just yesterday during rehearsal for the first time.

322
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna lie. My hair is a

323
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: hot fucking mess like it is. I don't know how

324
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: people dance in extensions because I want to rip them

325
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: all out. And I'm sweating. And I said to Pasha,

326
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't understand. I don't sweat, And

327
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: He's like, what do you mean, Like you don't sweat,

328
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: And I was like like often, I was like no,

329
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't sweat, Like I've worn like deodorant

330
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: like a handful of times, like I don't have bo

331
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't sweat. I don't know, And you guys, I'm

332
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: sweating like I am drenched head to toe I mean,

333
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: I still don't smell but drenched head's toe for like

334
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: four hours straight and I'm like, wow, who is this girl?

335
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: This is crazy? And why SHA's so proud? He's like,

336
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm so so. I'm a sweaty mess,

337
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: like you start to feel bad. They're used to this,

338
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: like your dancers, and he's like, this is good, this

339
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: is great. You're sweating, and I'm like, oh, yeah, we're

340
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: doing something right here. But yeah, my hair like not

341
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I haven't washed my hair since last week.

342
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: I do shower daily, but I put my hair up

343
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: because my hair is too hard, like with all these

344
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: extensions I know I did to myself, you know, like

345
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: suck it up, buttercup, you bottom, they're in your head.

346
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: You know. I don't have to have extensions, but I

347
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: like how they look. But washing them, oh my god.

348
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna put an hour into blow drying these suckers,

349
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: like uh uh, I'd rather put that hour into my rehearsal.

350
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: So if anyone would like to offer to come over

351
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: and wash my hair for me and blow it out,

352
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad, just saying, but yeah, dry shampoo.

353
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: Thank God for dry shampoo. It's like, we're going life safer.

354
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: So but I wear my hair back in a ponytail

355
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: or bunt, which everyone knows I don't like doing because

356
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I feel more confident when my hair's down and on

357
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: my face, I know, but I wear it back because

358
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: we're dancing and we're sweating and doing this. But yesterday

359
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, on the show, which we're four

360
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: days out, I'm not going to have my hair back,

361
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: Like there is going to be some version of my

362
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: hair down, maybe half up. I don't know yet. I

363
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: haven't gotten that bar yet, just my Pinterest pictures. But

364
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: I better start feeling what it's like if my hair

365
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: does whip around to know if I can keep going.

366
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: So I wore my hair half up half down yesterday

367
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: for the first time, and it's like it's crazy and

368
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: it looked okay, she did good. And I do come

369
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: into rehearsal every day with my sugar free red Bull

370
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: and Pasha promptly hands me water, purified water, not in

371
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: plastic and guess what you guys dreaking? I know, I

372
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: know you just shook this episode, Like who am I? Like,

373
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't even know who I am anymore. This is like, yeah,

374
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna go full on out here

375
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: and be like I'm Tori. I'm a water drinker now.

376
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: But when you're dancing for four hours straight and like

377
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: you've done your whole minute routine and then your partner's

378
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: like great again, great again. In my dreams, I'm gonna

379
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: have like hear him saying again again again in the

380
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: cutest accent. But and you're sweating so bad and you're

381
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: just like trying to catch your breath. Guess what it

382
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: works out people, you get thirsty. I thought there was

383
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: something behind this. I for years said I just hate water.

384
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't know. Maybe no, maybe

385
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm allergic to it. No. I just wasn't breaking a sweat.

386
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing anything physical. Pretty simple. I am doing

387
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: physical work, which is making my body respond. My butt's

388
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: like wow, I was creeping halfway down the back of

389
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: your thigh almost to your knee, and good for you, girl, Okay,

390
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good now. And guess what, it's gotten higher.

391
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Like my body's responding. It's like thank you, thank you

392
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: for doing something for me. And I'm sweating, and so

393
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm drinking water and I'm feeling okay with it. So

394
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm Tory, I'm a dancer, and I stay high traded.

395
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: What about you,
