Finally caught up with Brian’s
Danse avec les stars happenings. In case anyone’s interested, some interesting tidbits from this week’s ballet dance (my French is pretty terrible; I apologize in advance if this is completely wrong):
During the training:
Katrina: This outfit only means one thing: classical dance (likely French term for ballet). This is the first time it’ll be on Danse avec les stars.
Brian: Oh… this will be a catastrophe. (In the solo interview, he calls it a “nightmare.”)
…
Katrina: I think classical dance is the most technical dance.
....
Brian: I don’t quite have the… physique… for a ballet dancer?
Katrina: How so?
Brian: I’m too… buff.
Katrina: Have you seen ballet dancers, the male ones? They have muscles just like you.
He has trouble getting the necessary lift when practicing the tiptoeing. He explains that he’s been in skates for years, and in skates your feet are always (ideally) flat.
Katrina: Okay, we’re going to walk around like this (on tiptoes) for a while. It looks ridiculous, but whatever.
Brian: (walks with her for a while) This really is ridiculous.
The judges generally appreciated how much they accomplished in four days. The first judge considers ballet the technical basis of all dance; trying to learn that in four days is like trying to study up to university in that amount of time. The female judge said that Brian’s arms are quite nice; the problem is his legs, since the extension there simply can’t be learned in four days. Another judge says he really respects Brian for daring to go out there in those tights.
laugh
After the scores were given, the host asked Brian if he was disappointed. He said no, he understands why the judges feel there’s a lot of improvement to be done. And then more compliments about his state of (un)dress.
And now it's back in exhibition but down to SP length.
What is that tattoo on his side? Looks like a squid or an octupus?
