Speaker 1: the road, Like while I was touring, You.
Speaker 2: Guys partied a bit on the road, didn't you.
Speaker 1: We did. We had fun. We had fun. We always
Speaker 1: had a great group. I mean, especially when we got
Speaker 1: to that last one and we had a big group
Speaker 1: of dancers and it was just a big just fun
Speaker 1: all the time. And then our crew was really awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what. It was shortly after I did Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is taking it back, way way back. It
Speaker 1: was shortly after I did Dancing with the Stars the
Speaker 1: first time for season five, and uh Mark and I
Speaker 1: hosted a New Year's Eve party that we stopped through
Speaker 1: LA and it was a big up place. So a
Speaker 1: lot of our friends got to come, a lot of
Speaker 1: my friends from Orange County got to come up. And
Speaker 1: it was just really fun for me to have, like,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of my work friends and I have
Speaker 1: friends that I've grown up with, and so much of
Speaker 1: us having such a good time. And the vibe was
Speaker 1: good and John Mark and Derek's band played a little
Speaker 1: bit that was back when they did Balas Huff.
Speaker 2: Band, there was only there's a there was they had
Speaker 2: a band.
Speaker 1: You didn't know about ballist Huff.
Speaker 2: Band't know about Dancing with the Stars until like a
Speaker 2: month ago.
Speaker 1: So yes, keep in mind when I did this season,
Speaker 1: that was Mark and Derek's first season, season five, they
Speaker 1: had just moved back. Well, yes, they grew up together.
Speaker 1: Shirley mar Mark's mom had gone to that studio in
Speaker 1: Utah where Julianne and Derek grew up. A lot of
Speaker 1: the Whitney Carson Jenna, like all of them really grew
Speaker 1: up at this dance studio there, and they would bring
Speaker 1: Shirley in for training. And during that time is when
Speaker 1: she met Derek and Julianne and they were both already
Speaker 1: Latin dancers. And somehow I don't know exactly the story,
Speaker 1: but that's when Mark and Julianne became partners. And then
Speaker 1: they came they moved Julianne and and and Derek moved
Speaker 1: in with the ballasts in London. So that's their their
Speaker 1: whole their story. So anyway, that's where Derek and Julianne
Speaker 1: grew up for the remainder of that time until they
Speaker 1: came in again, like she was in her teens, I
Speaker 1: think sixteen or something like that. Mark and Derek came
Speaker 1: to La to do Dancing with the Stars and they
Speaker 1: had already had a band that they were doing a
Speaker 1: lot of shows with back in England, and then they
Speaker 1: moved their band out here. They got a record deal
Speaker 1: and they were working on an album and they worked
Speaker 1: and did some big performances and stuff. Anyway, they performed
Speaker 1: at this New Year's Eve party, and I just remember
Speaker 1: it was such a fun time. As you know, and
Speaker 1: you've watched Danielle coming out of a season is like
Speaker 1: and you know, going on tour and like extending not
Speaker 1: just your time on the television series, getting to get
Speaker 1: a whole tour out of it and continue to dancing
Speaker 1: after you've just fallen in love with this style of
Speaker 1: dance was so fun. It was such an epic time
Speaker 1: of my life that I was doing this whole new
Speaker 1: world in the industry that I hadn't done before. And
Speaker 1: again having the co operation of my friends and then
Speaker 1: my work friends all at one place and ringing in
Speaker 1: the New Year was just.
Speaker 2: That's cool, so fun.
Speaker 1: So's fuol.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: You probably were at some like crazy exotic place or
Speaker 1: something for New Years.
Speaker 2: I've done some cool stuff.
Speaker 3: I think the one that that pops out the most
Speaker 3: is I did Susan and I did New Year's twenty
Speaker 3: twenty in Amsterdam, and they do it they I mean,
Speaker 3: it's like it's it's scary a little bit, frankly, because
Speaker 3: kind of like every street becomes a bonfire and then
Speaker 3: you can light off fireworks anywhere, so you'll just be
Speaker 3: walking through a crowd and somebody will just be throwing
Speaker 3: firework and like everything's exploding.
Speaker 2: It's really crazy. Oh my gosh, it's really crazy. But
Speaker 2: it was a ton of fun. It's cold. We went
Speaker 2: out to a great dinner.
Speaker 3: We got all dressed up, we went out to a
Speaker 3: nice dinner and then we ended up in you know,
Speaker 3: this really cool old school bar from you know, the
Speaker 3: sixteen hundreds kind of thing, and everybody singing and wishing
Speaker 3: each other Happy New Year and never they was just
Speaker 3: very memorable.
Speaker 1: Yew years now.
Speaker 3: Only that that because it was January twenty twenty. So
Speaker 3: by February March fool, the pandemic hid pandemic, everything was
Speaker 3: shut down. So we I mean we literally were like
Speaker 3: just gotten it on a wire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so but we had it. That was that
Speaker 2: was a wonderful time.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's si like knowing because you know
Speaker 1: Amsterdam so well from living there? No in Amsterdam. Do
Speaker 1: you think it's gone back and reverted back to that
Speaker 1: awesome kind of New Year's changed? I hope someone's been
Speaker 1: there in a pandemic.
Speaker 2: I haven't been there in.
Speaker 3: A while, so I hope it. That was last time
Speaker 3: I was there is twenty twenty, so I hope it has.
Speaker 3: But I mean there's times you're walking and there's just
Speaker 3: like an explosion near you and you're like, whoa, Like
Speaker 3: somebody just chucked in a big thing of fireworks.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: That sope.
Speaker 3: But we had We had so much fun and we
Speaker 3: were so funny because we're actually there. And Peyton Meyer
Speaker 3: from Girl Meets World Here is also in Amsterdam with
Speaker 3: his friends at the time, and we end up hitting
Speaker 3: each other up and just like see each other and
Speaker 3: hanging out in the middle of Amsterdam right around New Year.
Speaker 2: So it's it's one of those places. It just amsteam
Speaker 2: just brings people together.
Speaker 3: And it was also cold, and again, I living in
Speaker 3: southern California for thirty five years. I'm just it's obviously
Speaker 3: beautiful weather, and I'd get that it's beautiful weather, but
Speaker 3: there's certain times of the year that should be cold.
Speaker 3: You know, it should be cold at New Year's it
Speaker 3: should be cold at Christmas. So going home or going
Speaker 3: to a place where you get that kind of weather
Speaker 3: U is pretty wonderful.
Speaker 2: So yes, see, now.
Speaker 1: This year, after we had so much rain, we're thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: it's like we're turning into the cold. We're going to
Speaker 1: have a cold December. And then it hits that second
Speaker 1: week of December. We're back into the eighties.
Speaker 2: And you're like, this be as yep. So given people.
Speaker 1: Who have grown up as I have in Orange County
Speaker 1: or southern California, it is so frustrating. We want the cold.
Speaker 1: We have great weather all year round, and I just
Speaker 1: wish at least for the month of December and January.
Speaker 1: Month months of December and January we felt the like sweaters,
Speaker 1: hot coco, you know, just cozy, cozy, and we're not.
Speaker 2: We're like, ugh, no, yeah, it's the same.
Speaker 3: I've been here thirty five years now and just you're
Speaker 3: just used to it. It's just I'm just used to
Speaker 3: the weather, but man, it's nice to have some cold.
Speaker 3: But whatever you're doing on New Year's be safe, have fun,
Speaker 3: enjoy yourself, try to remember the good parts about the
Speaker 3: last year. And there's always bad parts about the last
Speaker 3: year too, and you learn what you can and you
Speaker 3: move forward. And we're looking forward to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty five, you know, has had some like any
Speaker 3: year has had some bright spots, has had some horrible spots.
Speaker 2: It's just it's life. So there's something nice nobody have.
Speaker 1: The highlights for me have been with Magical Rewinds.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so sweet.
Speaker 1: No, yes, in the interview with Kenny Ortega was incredible,
Speaker 1: all right, recording from Disneyland. You know how big of
Speaker 1: a Disney person I am.
Speaker 2: I just was.
Speaker 1: That was magical. And then you know, being able to
Speaker 1: for me, being able to be at the Zombies four premiere,
Speaker 1: and yeah, the press Junket. Getting to be a part
Speaker 1: of the Press junk It was like a dream. It
Speaker 1: was so crazy. Some of the best highlights of twenty
Speaker 1: five was for Magical rewind I.
Speaker 2: Will say, first of all, that's awesome. I will also say,
Speaker 2: especially with holidays, almost nobody does the holidays like Disney.
Speaker 3: I know, what doesn't even matter whether it's Halloween or
Speaker 3: it's New Year's Eve, or it's Christmas or whatever kind
Speaker 3: of nobody does the holidays like Disney. So if you
Speaker 3: could you know when we were at the park and
Speaker 3: it's all decked out for Christmas, when the Christmas parade
Speaker 3: and Santa comes by, it's really magical.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this has been a wonderful year.
