I was in the ballroom the other day. It was empty and we were rehearsing and I was thinking about all the functions I did in this room and the reports and just the memories, and it’s pretty wild, so I’m excited to upload this feature to the list. and I clearly share it with my lovely friend Hayley.
We danced a kind of vintage pasodoble because I love strings and drums and flamenco guitar, just nylon strings and things like that, I get excited and I love this style, this love in those dances. Don’t wait to be there.
Fox News: Some enthusiasts speculate, or rather expect to make the consultation during this performance What do you think of the enthusiasts who inspire you to propose?Do you still feel the heat?

Obviously, we have proof and there have been struggles and things like that, of course, but we’ve had to repair, grow and move on. He’s just one of those kinds of things. It’s been wonderful, it’s been good, yes. We were lucky.
Fox News: In terms of “Dancing With the Stars”, the odds were very high with Tyra Banks’. But, of course, many other people still miss Tom Bergeron very much. How do you think she’s doing as a presenter compared to Tom, who’s been there for so long?

There are many expectations there. But I think he’s doing a wonderful job. And the live facet and laughter and energy, there are so many things on the screen and there are so many moving pieces. I applaud her and I think she’s doing a wonderful job. .
And I’m proud of the exhibition. The exhibition in general, as you said, is working very well, and that’s the total point. That’s the purpose of the exhibition is to bring joy and entertain people, and that’s what it’s been.
And I’ll also have to say that the screen itself, you can frame it differently, you can customize it differently with other things, but the center of the screen will remain at all times, which is the adventure of fame and the professional in combination and how they face this challenge of ballroom dances and Latinos. It’s pretty wild, but so far it’s been a journey.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Mondays at 8 p. m. ET on ABC.
