00:00:00Live from Los Angeles, it's Dance Steps judges Bella Fox and Ben Sparks, bringing you some vintage Christmas cheer.
00:01:40Hannah!
00:01:43Nice lipstick shade, your glam is perfect.
00:01:46Thanks, but I can't wait for this Christmas show to be done.
00:01:49Sounds like you need a break from the spotlight.
00:01:51Oh, I can't wait for you to come home for Christmas and we can hang out like old times.
00:01:55I forgot to tell you Ben can't come out with me this year.
00:01:58He's heading out early to go skiing with Antonia in Jackson Hole.
00:02:02How could he not want to hang out with not one but two of his favorite dance partners?
00:02:07Honestly, he's been acting really strange.
00:02:10I don't know if the fame has gone to his head, but something is off.
00:02:14I'm sure it's just the pressure from the show.
00:02:16Just tell him to bring Antonia when they're done skiing.
00:02:19I did.
00:02:20He said maybe they come on Christmas Eve.
00:02:23Maybe he's buying you an expensive Christmas gift.
00:02:26I haven't been his girlfriend for years.
00:02:28You know that.
00:02:29We're more like brother and sister.
00:02:31And you also know that he just proposed to Antonia over Labor Day weekend.
00:02:35I do.
00:02:36I guess they're cute together.
00:02:38Plus, we're not buying gifts this year.
00:02:40We're donating to a good cause.
00:02:42And if I remember correctly, it was your idea.
00:02:46It is a good idea, isn't it?
00:02:48Oh, well, come here.
00:02:50Don't say hi to my best friend Bella.
00:02:52She's also the lead judge on dance steps.
00:02:56Bella, this is Will.
00:02:58Hi.
00:02:59Hi, Will.
00:03:00Are you one of Hannah's dancers?
00:03:02Oh.
00:03:03Not a chance.
00:03:05No, Will's my landlord at the studio.
00:03:08Best one ever, Mr. Fix-It here.
00:03:11But great idea, Bella.
00:03:12Maybe we can get him to dance.
00:03:14Oh, no.
00:03:15I may be Andy, but I promise you I have two left feet.
00:03:18No one has two left feet.
00:03:19We just need the right dance teacher.
00:03:21You're probably right.
00:03:23Hey.
00:03:24Nice to meet you, Bella.
00:03:26Nice to meet you, Will.
00:03:27Oh, that was my five-minute call.
00:03:28I'm gonna have to go.
00:03:29Oh, wait.
00:03:30I have news.
00:03:31My studio got into the national snowball dance competition this year.
00:03:36That's amazing.
00:03:37Congratulations.
00:03:38Thanks.
00:03:39Okay, break a leg.
00:03:40Okay.
00:03:41Bye.
00:03:46All right, folks.
00:03:47We will be going live in one minute.
00:03:49If everyone can remain in their seats.
00:03:52Antonia, I love you.
00:03:55But what did you do?
00:03:56Ben, I know this is gonna hurt Bella, but this was supposed to be announced four weeks ago.
00:04:02We can't wait till the finale.
00:04:04My promotion is gonna take away from the big win.
00:04:07Fine.
00:04:08Look, I agree.
00:04:09We don't want to take the spotlight off the winning couple.
00:04:12We've known this was the right change for a long time now.
00:04:15Ratings are down and the show needs a refresh.
00:04:18But if we just wait till the season is over, then we can do all the talk shows, release a statement, talk about all the changes then.
00:04:25You promised that you were gonna talk to Bella when you found a good time.
00:04:30But you haven't found one.
00:04:32You two are always laughing about some ridiculous inside joke.
00:04:35Do you think there's ever a good time to tell my best friend that you're taking a job as lead judge?
00:04:40And announcing it on air is gonna hurt her more than anything.
00:04:43And that's the last thing I want to do to Bella, especially at Christmas.
00:04:47Look, let's just not do this while the cameras are rolling.
00:04:50Wait till the season is over, please.
00:04:53It has to be done, Ben.
00:04:56The show needs someone younger in the lead seat.
00:04:59It's not personal.
00:05:00Come on, of course it's personal.
00:05:02She has no idea.
00:05:04Oh, she has an idea, alright.
00:05:06Bella, I didn't want it to be this way.
00:05:09Oh, you didn't want me to lead judge?
00:05:11Or you didn't want me to find out unless the cameras were rolling?
00:05:14The drama is at the judge's table.
00:05:16This is a Christmas ratings miracle.
00:05:19Let's go live.
00:05:20Go live.
00:05:21Bella, look.
00:05:22We've been friends since we were kids.
00:05:23I should have told you about this.
00:05:25Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:05:27I'm sorry.
00:05:28I'm sorry.
00:05:29You have betrayed me so much.
00:05:31Just we don't have to do this.
00:05:33No.
00:05:34Just no.
00:05:35Don't worry.
00:05:36You can still sit at the judge's table with me.
00:05:38Go break a leg.
00:05:40For real.
00:05:41Bella, come on.
00:05:42Please.
00:05:46Alright folks, we're going live in one minute.
00:05:48If everyone can remain in their seats.
00:06:01Hello?
00:06:02What is the matter with those two?
00:06:04They couldn't have talked with you privately?
00:06:06I guess being demoted is great live TV.
00:06:08At least I wasn't actually fired.
00:06:10Well, they should have at least talked with you.
00:06:13Obviously it would have been awkward, but better than public embarrassment.
00:06:17A million times better than being shocked on primetime television.
00:06:21With online replays around the clock.
00:06:23I just...
00:06:24Oof.
00:06:25Thanks.
00:06:26I was trying not to think about that.
00:06:27You know what you need?
00:06:28A white Christmas.
00:06:29The snow's been falling for days here.
00:06:32Special order from Santa.
00:06:34Change your flight.
00:06:36Come earlier.
00:06:37I can't.
00:06:38The finale's this week.
00:06:39It'd be unprofessional of me to miss it.
00:06:40Dance steps just turned your world upside down.
00:06:44No one's expecting you to put on a smile and pretend you didn't practically just get fired in front of the whole country.
00:06:50Well, world, actually.
00:06:52Thanks for the reminder.
00:06:54You need your real best friend.
00:06:56Not some pretend L.A. friends.
00:06:58And you can stay with me as long as you like.
00:06:59Well, I can't argue with that.
00:07:02Okay.
00:07:03Excellent!
00:07:04Upstate New York, here you come.
00:07:07You can eat all the Christmas cookies you want.
00:07:09Just get on a plane. Pronto.
00:07:10Ooh!
00:07:11And you can help my students get ready for the snowball competition.
00:07:14What?
00:07:15It'll help take your mind up all the drama.
00:07:17Have a great flight!
00:07:20Hi.
00:07:21Will?
00:07:22Bella, hi.
00:07:23Hi.
00:07:24Hi.
00:07:25My phone said the shot was close by and I was hoping it was nice.
00:07:30It's gorgeous in there, yeah.
00:07:35If you go for Hannah, don't forget it's nice.
00:07:37It's gorgeous in there, yeah.
00:07:38If you go for Hannah, don't forget it's nice.
00:07:41It's nice.
00:07:42It's nice.
00:07:43It's nice.
00:07:44It's nice.
00:07:45It's nice.
00:07:46It's nice.
00:07:47It's nice.
00:07:48If you go for Hannah, don't forget she loves sparkly.
00:07:51Always sparkly.
00:07:52Yeah.
00:07:53I think Hannah would like that one.
00:07:56That one is gorgeous, yeah.
00:07:57Yeah.
00:07:58Well, I'm gonna go get that.
00:07:59Nice seeing you.
00:08:00Nice to see you too.
00:08:01I've missed you so much.
00:08:02I've missed you so much, Bella.
00:08:03I've missed you so much.
00:08:04I've missed you so much.
00:08:08I've missed you so much, Pam.
00:08:30I've missed you so much, too.
00:08:32And all the snow.
00:08:33Here.
00:08:35It's beautiful.
00:08:36And sparkly.
00:08:39Come on in, cut it.
00:08:44They should be ashamed of themselves, blindsiding you like that.
00:08:48Yeah, I never want to go outside in public ever again.
00:08:51Oh, don't say that.
00:08:53Your big, beautiful life can never be reduced to a worst day at work ever meme.
00:09:04You know what you need?
00:09:05You need to dance.
00:09:08It's been such a long day, I really don't feel like dancing.
00:09:11Oh, come on.
00:09:12Our favorite movie.
00:09:14We can do the sister scene.
00:09:15It'll cheer you up.
00:09:17Okay.
00:09:17Oh, if Miss Bernadette could see us now.
00:09:33She'd say, fake it till you make it.
00:09:36Let your light shine.
00:09:37True happiness is not in the spotlight.
00:09:40It's who you share your dance with.
00:09:43Aw.
00:09:44Oh, we need wine.
00:09:46Yes, we do.
00:10:12Oh, there.
00:10:13And put it back properly.
00:10:15I know.
00:10:20Hi.
00:10:21Morning, sleepyhead.
00:10:22I'm still on West Coast time.
00:10:23It's still early for me.
00:10:25Screen light emergency over.
00:10:27I gotta go back to the office.
00:10:29Uh, well, actually, maybe you should stick around.
00:10:32Bella's gonna help train the students
00:10:34and get them ready for the snowball.
00:10:36Might be able to pick up a thing or two.
00:10:38Hannah, no, I can't. I can't do it.
00:10:41Oh, don't tell me it's too soon.
00:10:43Oh, come on. She's probably still reeling.
00:10:45The humiliating public backstabbing
00:10:47is all on Antonia and the producers.
00:10:50And Ben, you did nothing wrong.
00:10:53Well, I still feel awful.
00:10:55I've never lost a job before.
00:10:57Please, Bella.
00:10:59My students have been working so hard.
00:11:01And the annual snowball is my studio's biggest chance
00:11:04to get noticed.
00:11:06You might even reconnect with what you love most about dance.
00:11:09Your spirit does come alive in competition.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:14But it's against my will.
00:11:17I am your witness, Bella.
00:11:19Great.
00:11:20Oh, you're a lifesaver.
00:11:23Okay.
00:11:24Well, the dancers should be here soon
00:11:25and the music's all queued up.
00:11:26I just have to go pick up some props for the snowball
00:11:28and some last-minute Christmas gifts.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:32Bye, Hannah.
00:11:33You're welcome.
00:11:39Good morning.
00:11:40Good morning.
00:11:41Very nice of you for something for Hannah.
00:11:46I'm sure the student would love having a famous dancer
00:11:49teaching them today.
00:11:50I'm not sure about famous.
00:11:52I love teaching and helping people.
00:11:55That's my favorite thing to do.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57Do you know that Hannah and I were going to open up our own studio?
00:12:00Oh.
00:12:01Yeah, we were going to have this huge space
00:12:03and have big dance classes and Saturday night dances.
00:12:06Yeah.
00:12:07That sounds like fun.
00:12:08Yeah.
00:12:09It would have been fun.
00:12:10Hey, how are you with really old boomboxes?
00:12:13Oh.
00:12:14I can give it a try, but I think the 90s called and they want it back.
00:12:18Do you know we used to actually train to a live piano in the 90s?
00:12:22Wow, I think the 1890s are calling now.
00:12:25Ah.
00:12:26No?
00:12:27Okay, funny guy.
00:12:29You know what?
00:12:30I think you should take my lesson.
00:12:32I want to see those two left feet of yours.
00:12:34Yeah, not a chance.
00:12:35Sorry.
00:12:36What, you just come here for the coffee?
00:12:38Yeah, the coffee and the Christmas decoration emergencies,
00:12:40but just don't tell the head office
00:12:42that I'm putting some superintendent duties.
00:12:44That's all.
00:12:45Really?
00:12:46Why?
00:12:47I don't know.
00:12:48It's a joke.
00:12:49I'm actually the head of the management group,
00:12:51you know, selling and buying buildings.
00:12:53Okay, so why does Hannah make you out to be the handyman?
00:12:57Just like the same reason you got roped into helping
00:12:59for the snowball competition.
00:13:01She is a very persuasive woman.
00:13:03Mm-hmm.
00:13:04You know her, she's your friend.
00:13:05That's true.
00:13:06One minute she was cheering me up
00:13:07and the next minute I'm stuck teaching her students
00:13:09for the snowball competition.
00:13:11I have to say, she's pretty good.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13Yeah, but now I'm gonna need some coffee, so...
00:13:15Do you want some?
00:13:16Please, thank you.
00:13:17Thanks.
00:13:21You know, Bella, I wanted to tell you something.
00:13:23I'm very sorry.
00:13:25Very sorry about what happened on your show.
00:13:27And on top of everything, during the Christmas finals too.
00:13:30This Antonia is something.
00:13:33You stole your job.
00:13:34She's...
00:13:35terrible.
00:13:36Well, she didn't exactly steal it.
00:13:41Wait.
00:13:42You watch the show?
00:13:44Yeah.
00:13:45Every week.
00:13:46With my grandma.
00:13:47You're a favorite.
00:13:49That is so sweet.
00:13:51They really made a huge mistake replacing you.
00:13:54Well, that was nice of you to say.
00:13:57I'm not trying to say that to be nice.
00:13:59Your career is full of accomplishment.
00:14:02See you in a bit.
00:14:03Hey, wait.
00:14:04Do you think you could stick around?
00:14:06I might need some help with this impossibly outdated tech.
00:14:10Wow.
00:14:11How could I say no to that?
00:14:12I'd be in my office if you need me.
00:14:14Okay.
00:14:15Bye.
00:14:16Hi, everyone.
00:14:17Hi.
00:14:18Um...
00:14:19I'm Bella Fox.
00:14:20And Hannah's asked me to fill in for her.
00:14:23And get you ready for the snowball competition.
00:14:25Okay, everyone.
00:14:26So, let's warm up.
00:14:28Bella!
00:14:29Adam!
00:14:30Oh, you have made my day.
00:14:32Oh, are you okay?
00:14:33I'm so sorry for what they did to you on TV.
00:14:35Yeah, I'm okay.
00:14:36I'm much better now.
00:14:37I'm with my friends.
00:14:38So, Hannah talked to me in teaching?
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:41I didn't feel like I was ready, but with you as the assistant teacher, I think I am.
00:14:45I know you're ready.
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47Shall we?
00:14:48Okay.
00:14:49All right.
00:14:50So, let's get started with the salsa.
00:14:51I'm gonna put some music on if I can get this thing to work.
00:14:55There we go.
00:14:56So, we're gonna come forward with the left foot.
00:15:00Six, seven, and one, two, three, and one, two, three.
00:15:04Very good.
00:15:05We're looking great, guys.
00:15:06So, let's take it to the side.
00:15:08To the side.
00:15:09Excellent.
00:15:10Looking good.
00:15:12I know Reba and Alfredo never have the rhythm, but they do have a spark.
00:15:20I'm sure there was some stepping on toes, though.
00:15:23Literally.
00:15:24There was, but you've taught them well.
00:15:26Thanks.
00:15:27I'm super stressing about the competition.
00:15:31I feel like they are ready, but some of them are really lacking in confidence.
00:15:37And I think we're running out of time.
00:15:39They've been learning from the one and only Hannah Kyle, so they can do it.
00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:47You're right.
00:15:48And with your help and my persistence, we'll be spectacular.
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:55It'll be fun.
00:15:57Except I can't stop thinking about the show.
00:16:00I know.
00:16:01You love that show.
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:05Let me guess.
00:16:06Your producer.
00:16:08Yeah.
00:16:09Stick to your guns, Bella.
00:16:13I'm sorry about all of this, Bella.
00:16:23We were going to talk to you next week about your position at the judges' table.
00:16:28Announce it on the finale.
00:16:30Hook the audience in for next season.
00:16:32Some hook you practically fired me.
00:16:35Listen, Bella.
00:16:36You are a great judge.
00:16:38And the love you have for dance really shines through when you talk to contestants.
00:16:44But?
00:16:45But?
00:16:46But?
00:16:47The people upstairs think it's time for a rebrand.
00:16:51Uh, you know, a refresh.
00:16:53Someone younger, a pop star who can barely dance?
00:16:57That was made very clear to me on live TV.
00:17:00I'm a meme dollar.
00:17:01This is not how we wanted to launch the news.
00:17:04So here's the spin.
00:17:05It's a new chapter in Dance Steps Family Scrapbook.
00:17:10It's good you got away.
00:17:12You've been working too hard for too long.
00:17:14You need time out of the spotlight.
00:17:16Your family here misses you.
00:17:18Well, maybe the writings are missing me.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:21You're right.
00:17:22The audience isn't loving Antonia right now.
00:17:24But we can capitalize on this.
00:17:26Oh God, that sounded awful out loud.
00:17:29Look, I've been trying to talk to the network to delay the finale until after Christmas.
00:17:35No guarantees.
00:17:36But the show must go on.
00:17:38And you know we still have you under contract.
00:17:41I'm sorry, but this is all sounding so ridiculous.
00:17:45Okay.
00:17:46It's the holidays.
00:17:47Let me work this out.
00:17:49You go enjoy yourself.
00:17:51Don't worry about this.
00:17:52And have fun with your friends.
00:17:56Sorry, insensitive.
00:17:57Your friend stabbed you in the back.
00:17:59But okay.
00:18:00Hey, have fun with different friends.
00:18:03Come back in the new year.
00:18:05Sit at the table with us.
00:18:19Hannah, let's crush this snowball competition.
00:18:22I'm in.
00:18:23I'm so in.
00:18:24Yes!
00:18:26Toe, heel, step.
00:18:29Let's be that little.
00:18:30Toe, heel, step.
00:18:31Toe, heel, step.
00:18:32Toe, heel, step.
00:18:33Toe, heel, step.
00:18:34All right, everyone.
00:18:36Great work today.
00:18:39The snowball dance competition is a week away.
00:18:41So make sure you have your costumes in sparkling shape.
00:18:44That means you, Marcus.
00:18:47Oh, and if anyone wants private lessons, talk to Bella.
00:18:50She doesn't seem to have any pressing work engagements.
00:18:53Very funny.
00:18:56All right.
00:18:57We'll see you at next class.
00:18:58Make sure you all come because we have a lot of work to do.
00:19:02Okay?
00:19:03Bye.
00:19:04Okay.
00:19:05Do we have any actually trained dancers here?
00:19:11I don't know yet.
00:19:12Will swears his neighbor Andre can dance, so he's gonna talk to him.
00:19:16Hey, I'm Andre.
00:19:17Will sent me.
00:19:18I know who you are.
00:19:19So you must be Hannah Kyle.
00:19:20Yeah, I'm Hannah.
00:19:21Welcome.
00:19:22I've never done the snowball competition before, but Will said I might be able to go with your
00:19:46school if I'm good enough.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50Well, show us what you got.
00:19:52Ella Fox just spoke to me.
00:19:54I'll get right on it.
00:19:58He might be our ringer.
00:19:59He might be a Christmas miracle.
00:20:01Mm-hmm.
00:20:02We might actually win this thing.
00:20:05That's great, Andre.
00:20:07Keep it going.
00:20:08First things first.
00:20:10Who are you gonna dance with?
00:20:12You want me to dance at the snowball?
00:20:14Of course.
00:20:15I can't dance.
00:20:16I'm the studio owner.
00:20:18Well, you and I both know I might have to leave soon.
00:20:21Let me talk to your agent.
00:20:23Those people did you wrong.
00:20:26You're all doing great.
00:20:28And Andre, welcome to the snowball team.
00:20:31Great work, everybody.
00:20:32The snowball trophy is ours.
00:20:36Oh, great.
00:20:37You're here.
00:20:38I need you a step for the snowball.
00:20:39Can you help me out?
00:20:41Well, I just need a body to figure it out on.
00:20:42Hold me.
00:20:43Great.
00:20:44Hold me.
00:20:45Okay.
00:20:46We're gonna take a step forward on this foot to go forward.
00:20:47Good.
00:20:48Back.
00:20:49Now, let's grab my shoulder.
00:20:50Come forward.
00:20:51Good.
00:20:52Now, you're gonna dip me.
00:20:53So, dip.
00:20:54Good.
00:20:55Spin around.
00:20:56And then over.
00:20:57And voila.
00:20:58Well, I just need a body to figure it out on hold me
00:21:03Okay, we're gonna take a step forward on this but to go forward good back
00:21:09Now let's grab my shoulder come forward good. Now you're gonna dip me so dip good
00:21:22Well
00:21:24Well
00:21:27Maybe now you can do something for me
00:21:31Would you come with me to my office Christmas party tomorrow a little last minute and I don't have anything to wear
00:21:38All right, and I can lend you something sparkly. Yeah, she does love sparkling and she loves to shop. So
00:21:45So it's a yes
00:21:47Yeah, so now do me a favor no, I was terrible at this. Can you please show me one?
00:21:52Okay, all right, I'm still holding
00:21:57Will's a great guy you approve
00:22:01Okay, so I didn't approve of Ben when you were dating him
00:22:04But maybe I was a bit jealous that you were in a relationship and I wasn't nice self-awareness
00:22:09Will is everything you want and you know it so just
00:22:15Embrace the flirting and forget about the public humiliation double whammy
00:22:19Well, the internet exists Hannah, you know what I mean
00:22:24Getting fired from a job is a huge hit to the self-esteem, but you are a vibrant
00:22:29Beautiful graceful
00:22:31Graceful intelligent
00:22:33Okay, thanks for the pet talk, but wills waiting and I have to go
00:22:41What just
00:22:48Try this on
00:22:53Yeah
00:22:55You look amazing. Thank you. You look great, too
00:23:08Let's go
00:23:10I
00:23:24Have to tell you something. Mm-hmm
00:23:26I loved dancing with you an incredible teacher you deserve to be the number one judge on the show the expert voice
00:23:34Yeah, well, I'm afraid the online clips would say a different story
00:23:37Listen, I'm serious. What they did to you was horrible
00:23:41But all the way to the end you keep your grace under the pressure
00:23:45You really think so?
00:23:47Yeah, I mean as professional as anyone can be under the circumstances. Yeah
00:23:52better
00:23:54We're all class
00:23:56Thank you that really means a lot
00:23:59Oh
00:24:08They're your colleagues. Oh, yeah
00:24:10Yeah, it's always the one you least expected that let loose at a christmas party. That is true
00:24:17So tell me something I would least expect about you. I mean me oh wow
00:24:23Um, least expected. I have one. I sponsor a cheap panty named isabel at a refuge down in florida
00:24:33I have a picture of her on the fridge. I will bring it tomorrow
00:24:38Yeah, it's uh, it's pretty interesting. I get a postcard from time to time
00:24:43You know, it's a pretty low maintenance relationship
00:24:45My high maintenance relationship was
00:24:48With racing, you know indie cars. Do you still race?
00:24:53Actually, no, I stopped last year
00:24:56Were you good?
00:24:58Kinda
00:24:59Okay, well, I bet you were really good, but why did you stop?
00:25:02Well, some of the drivers got into a very bad accident, so I stopped before it was me
00:25:08I saved some of my winnings and um, you know starting to buy properties
00:25:12Well, I'm sure your grandma grace is really happy about that grace was thrilled for sure
00:25:17Yeah, well, so now tell me something random about you
00:25:20Once I was at a beach i'm swimming in the ocean and over a hundred jellyfish stung me it made the news and everything what?
00:25:28Where on my bum
00:25:32Where oh
00:25:34In australia
00:25:36Where everything can kill you well in france we only have snails so we good right but here only fresh lakes
00:25:41So no jellyfish on sites another reason I love it here so much
00:25:46Hey, I saw an article today. Well, I'm not gonna be thrilled
00:25:51The 10 men better fox shoot dates. Oh my goodness. Guess what?
00:25:56I never meant the cut pretty disappointed, but hey anyway
00:26:00Well, I'd say that's just really poor journalism. Mm-hmm. I agree
00:26:04Who's ready for karaoke?
00:26:07So you say you don't dance
00:26:10But do you karaoke?
00:26:12I'm gonna sing yes
00:26:19Deck the halls with vows of holly
00:26:23La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:26:26Tis the season to be jolly
00:26:31La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
00:26:34La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
00:26:38I can't believe you didn't know the words to Deck the Horse.
00:26:45I'm sorry, I'm French, but by the way, you were great.
00:26:49You were following that bounceable like a champ.
00:26:51I tried.
00:26:51I meant to ask you, are the dancers for the snowball competition working out?
00:26:58They're working so hard. They're so dedicated. It's amazing.
00:27:02Okay, but what I meant to ask is, do they have the moves? Can they win?
00:27:07You seem awfully invested in this competition for someone who doesn't dance.
00:27:11I'm an athlete. I love to compete.
00:27:14You know, athletes make great dances.
00:27:17Well, I did dance once, but on my own high school prom, but that was it.
00:27:22What about you?
00:27:24My mom put me into dance when I was four, and I loved it.
00:27:27And then Ben and I got partnered up when we were teenagers.
00:27:31Ben, you used to date?
00:27:34Well, we dated a long time ago. We were just kids.
00:27:37And we moved to America and got onto dance steps,
00:27:40and then Antonio, she joined the show about a year ago.
00:27:43And you know what? I hate to admit it, but they're actually perfect together.
00:27:47So, hold on. You were old friends until...
00:27:52Until they stabbed me in the back.
00:27:55But that's all behind me now.
00:27:58And, uh, I just want to say thank you for bringing me here tonight,
00:28:02because I've actually had a really good time.
00:28:05I'm very happy that you came.
00:28:08Do you want to bring you to dessert buffet?
00:28:10Yes.
00:28:11Let's go.
00:28:11Okay, yeah.
00:28:22I hope we can do this again.
00:28:25Bella.
00:28:26Look, I know you're going through it a lot lately.
00:28:28You don't have to.
00:28:30What I mean is, if you need to talk, I'm here.
00:28:33I really appreciate that.
00:28:39Au revoir.
00:28:40Au revoir.
00:28:47Coming up, the career triangle that rocked the dance steps world.
00:28:52Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker sit down here with me,
00:28:55the one and only Simon Lamont.
00:28:57We'll be back in a minute, and I know you can't wait.
00:29:00It is so inappropriate to do this on television.
00:29:05Like, how can you bury your feelings to a camera?
00:29:09Yeah, I thought they were my friends.
00:29:11Yeah, before the whole et-tu-brute betrayal.
00:29:15Are you sure you want to go back into that fishbowl?
00:29:21Let me guess, your producer?
00:29:24You have some weird sick sense.
00:29:26You know that, right?
00:29:27But yes, it's Dala pretending to care.
00:29:30Well, for what it's worth, I'm not pretending.
00:29:35I really want you to be happy.
00:29:39Audience, please welcome Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker.
00:29:45Ben, we know these are difficult times for you.
00:29:50Do you still actually have a friendship with Bella Fox?
00:29:52Yes, Simon, thankfully, I think I do.
00:29:57Okay, because you actually stabbed her in the back professionally.
00:30:01I truly am grateful to have Bella as a friend.
00:30:04We've been friends for over 30 years.
00:30:06We competed in Boreham together.
00:30:08We were kids in the same ballet class.
00:30:10But yes, I should have communicated better.
00:30:14And I'm doing my best to fix that.
00:30:17But Bella and I, we're really important to each other.
00:30:20Okay, because actually my sources say you're no longer on speaking terms.
00:30:25Is that correct?
00:30:26No, no, it's not.
00:30:28And look, if you ask me, I think the pressures of the show, they started to take a toll on Bella.
00:30:35And I'd noticed something in her spirit had changed.
00:30:40And you're sure it wasn't you?
00:30:42Again, I should have communicated better.
00:30:46But Bella and I will always be friends.
00:30:49Our parents are friends.
00:30:50Her aunt was our coach.
00:30:52She really is like the sister I never had.
00:30:54Does this seem cold to you?
00:30:57This seems cold.
00:30:58Super.
00:30:59Antonia, now that you're the lead judge on Dan Steps, tell us, how does that feel?
00:31:03Well, I love the show.
00:31:05Everyone is so wonderful.
00:31:07The crew, the couples, just everyone.
00:31:10And I'm determined to be the best lead judge the show has ever had.
00:31:13Even if that means your friend, Bella Fox, is out.
00:31:18I didn't want to hurt Bella.
00:31:19And it's just business.
00:31:20I do miss her.
00:31:21Well, what would you say to Bella if she were here today?
00:31:25Look right in that camera.
00:31:27I'd say come back to your Dan Steps family, Bella.
00:31:30I miss you at the table.
00:31:32And what would you say to her, Ben?
00:31:34Bella, take the break you need.
00:31:38Dance every day.
00:31:40Find what it is that truly makes you happy.
00:31:43Then when you do, come back to us.
00:31:46We really care about you, Bella.
00:31:48And that's our show today, everybody.
00:31:51Give it up for Ben and Antonia.
00:31:53We will see you on Friday.
00:31:57Come on.
00:32:04All right, everyone.
00:32:05You're doing great.
00:32:07I'm so happy with all your hard work.
00:32:09Sorry, sorry.
00:32:12I'm okay.
00:32:13Sorry.
00:32:15Bella and I have made our decisions about the competition.
00:32:20George and Liz, you have the most beautiful waltz I've seen this year.
00:32:24Share that with the world.
00:32:27Marcus and Maureen, you're a pair.
00:32:30Hannah, I just found out I might have to work the day of the competition.
00:32:34I'm going to try not to, but you know how it is.
00:32:36I can't lose this job.
00:32:37Yeah, me too.
00:32:38I'm so busy at the post office right now, they might have me work the night shift.
00:32:42Okay.
00:32:43Well, Bella might be able to fill in for Maureen.
00:32:45Andre, can you practice with Maureen as well, just in case Marcus can't make it?
00:32:50Of course.
00:32:50I'll make you proud, Miss Kyle.
00:32:51You already do.
00:32:53Everyone else, you can find your names outside on the list.
00:32:56You all have a place to have fun at the snowball.
00:33:00Hi.
00:33:03Congratulations.
00:33:03Okay, well, we're still covered.
00:33:08We have strong dancers in all the big three events.
00:33:11A win would really help with enrollment, so we just need to drill down on all of those
00:33:15dances, okay?
00:33:16Fine.
00:33:16I've got you covered.
00:33:17Okay.
00:33:18We'll be good.
00:33:19Well.
00:33:23Really?
00:33:24It's pretty great?
00:33:25Definitely.
00:33:26But Hannah owes us big time for this one.
00:33:28Might get us on the nice list.
00:33:29I like the way you're thinking.
00:33:32Raise it up.
00:33:33Oh, I didn't know what I was getting into.
00:33:36No, you didn't.
00:33:38All right.
00:33:39You got to dance.
00:33:40So let's decorate?
00:33:41Yeah, let's do it.
00:33:42All right.
00:33:43Woo.
00:33:44It's Christmas.
00:33:48It's Christmas.
00:33:52Oh, it's Christmas.
00:33:56The world is tired of waiting.
00:33:58It's time to celebrate it with all the people we love.
00:34:03All our friends and all our family gathering around the tree and feel the spirits above.
00:34:10Oh, it's Christmas.
00:34:14Christmas.
00:34:14Yeah.
00:34:15It's Christmas.
00:34:17Christmas, baby.
00:34:19It's Christmas.
00:34:20Hold on.
00:34:22Hey, hey.
00:34:22Dance, baby.
00:34:24Dance, baby.
00:34:26Dance, baby.
00:34:28Dance it.
00:34:29Oh!
00:34:30Yeah, just do it like that.
00:34:31I've done this before.
00:34:32Yeah, I believe you.
00:34:32Ah, this picture's more annoying every time I see it.
00:34:43Mm.
00:34:43Mm.
00:34:47Can I be corny for a second and just say how wonderful it is to have you here for Christmas?
00:34:57Bella?
00:34:58Really nice having you here for Christmas.
00:35:00Bella, where'd you go?
00:35:04Sorry.
00:35:04I love being here, too.
00:35:07Saved by the bell.
00:35:19Love it.
00:35:19Thanks for the use.
00:35:21Will brought us fancy coffees.
00:35:23I came here to let her know about all this decorating she got us to do at the studio.
00:35:28You're part of the dance community, Will.
00:35:30Community Helps Community.
00:35:32Oh.
00:35:32Now sit.
00:35:33I'll repay you in cookies.
00:35:35I'm taking mine to go.
00:35:41There you go.
00:35:42Have a cookie.
00:35:43Mm-hmm.
00:35:48They're so good.
00:35:50They sont super bons.
00:35:51Mm.
00:35:52Oui.
00:35:52I'm sorry.
00:35:55I hope I'm not interrupting.
00:35:57No.
00:35:57We're just relaxing.
00:35:59I was trying to find something to watch on TV, but here, find us something.
00:36:02Five A and five B, just impeccable line.
00:36:05Not a wheel out of place.
00:36:06I can't believe they have racing on this late in the day.
00:36:09It's an old replay.
00:36:10A great race.
00:36:11I love watching my friends drive.
00:36:14We text between race, talk sometimes.
00:36:18I'm not on the team anymore, but it's still my team, you know?
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:23I kind of like that in dancing, too.
00:36:25Yeah?
00:36:26Mm-hmm.
00:36:27Yeah.
00:36:28I can't believe how much fun that was, watching racing.
00:36:44Yeah.
00:36:45And team captain here, you must miss it.
00:36:49Yeah.
00:36:50These are dedicated people, you know?
00:36:52You don't go far in the field if you're not passionate.
00:36:55Driven, you mean?
00:36:57Touche.
00:36:58What about you?
00:37:00Why did you stop competing?
00:37:02You don't have to tell me.
00:37:04It's just that you danced all over the world.
00:37:06It must have been a lot of fun.
00:37:07It was so much fun.
00:37:09Well, we got a call from a lady, kind of like a TV legend.
00:37:12Yeah.
00:37:13And, um, to be honest, Ben and I, we were just sick of traveling.
00:37:17Makes sense.
00:37:17Why not TV?
00:37:19I bet the camera loved you right from your first audition.
00:37:23No.
00:37:23I was so nervous.
00:37:25Of course.
00:37:25You're out of your comfort zone.
00:37:29You're not on the dancing floor anymore.
00:37:31I hope you never look back.
00:37:34You're really good at what you do.
00:37:39As much in other ways.
00:37:40Okay.
00:37:40Oh, you're up early.
00:37:56I'm still half asleep.
00:37:58Are you two excited for Christmas to sleep?
00:38:03Very funny.
00:38:04I'm off to the studio to do new choreography for your snowball competition.
00:38:09Oh, yeah.
00:38:10Cheers to that.
00:38:11Right behind you.
00:38:14Just finishing my coffee.
00:38:15All right.
00:38:45Oh yeah, Hannah, I'll see you at the test.
00:39:15Okay, bye.
00:39:17Oh, Will, I didn't expect to see you here so early.
00:39:20Ah, my breakfast meeting got canceled, so I thought I'd drop by.
00:39:24Help, it's okay.
00:39:25Yeah, of course it's okay.
00:39:26We love having you here.
00:39:27You know, I love to come here and relax.
00:39:32Decompressed.
00:39:34Decompressed.
00:39:35Okay, got it.
00:39:37You saw me.
00:39:38Saw you what?
00:39:40I normally like when people cannot lie, but today, I would not mind if you didn't see that.
00:39:45Humiliating display of, I don't know what it was.
00:39:48Humiliating?
00:39:49More like pure joy.
00:39:51I've seen a lot of dancing, and you are amazing.
00:39:56Really?
00:39:57Mm-hmm.
00:39:58Okay, question.
00:39:59Yeah.
00:39:59Answer honestly.
00:40:00Sure.
00:40:01Do you enjoy dancing?
00:40:02I guess so.
00:40:07I saw you.
00:40:09I know you love it.
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12Yes, I do love dancing.
00:40:14But when I was 12 years old, I gathered all the courage in the world to ask a girl to dance
00:40:18with me at school.
00:40:19All the other boys were shuffling their feet from one to another.
00:40:22I couldn't help but bust a move.
00:40:24Even my best friend met in front of me, so for me, that was it.
00:40:29Oh, well, kids can be so mean.
00:40:31Yeah, especially when my braces were showing so much.
00:40:34Do you know how wonderful it was to see you dancing without a care in the world?
00:40:44All right, dancer boy.
00:40:45Whoa.
00:40:46Dance with me.
00:40:47I'm...
00:40:47I'll leave, don't worry.
00:40:49I'm ready.
00:40:50So we're going to go forward.
00:40:52One, two, three.
00:40:54Look at us.
00:40:55We're dancing.
00:40:56Just that?
00:40:57Yeah, just that.
00:40:58One, two, three.
00:41:00One, two, three.
00:41:02Wow, look as you go.
00:41:05You're a natural.
00:41:07I don't think I have to have the best teacher.
00:41:12What?
00:41:13Whoa.
00:41:14You're doing it.
00:41:16Two, three.
00:41:19You're looking so good.
00:41:21Everyone's doing such a great job.
00:41:23Fantastic.
00:41:25All right, that's it for today.
00:41:27But remember to hydrate.
00:41:34So?
00:41:35So?
00:41:36How's the search for a partner going?
00:41:38What?
00:41:40You need a dance partner for the snowball.
00:41:43Well, I may have found myself a ringer.
00:41:47You don't say.
00:41:48Well, it's early days, but we seem to be in step.
00:41:54Well, that's how all the best dances start.
00:41:57One foot in front of the other.
00:41:59Mm-hmm.
00:42:03Your secret admirer?
00:42:05No.
00:42:06Darla.
00:42:07My old life calling.
00:42:10You know what?
00:42:10I need to face this.
00:42:13Right now.
00:42:17All right.
00:42:18Well, that's almost it for our show today.
00:42:20But before we go, I have a last-minute surprise.
00:42:23A surprise you've been waiting for, Dance Watchers, just like I have.
00:42:27Right now, Bella Fox is joining us from the East Coast, and we'll see where she is on the forgiveness spectrum.
00:42:32Hello, Bella.
00:42:34Hi, Simon.
00:42:35Oh, I can hear from your voice that you're in pain from this career sabotage.
00:42:40Well, I'm not going to lie.
00:42:41It was a difficult night.
00:42:42Mm.
00:42:42And you had no idea the show wanted to make changes?
00:42:45I had no idea.
00:42:47And it hurt more than it needed to because it was so public, and I was embarrassed.
00:42:51Well, with friends like Antonia and Ben, who needs enemies, right?
00:42:55What would you like to say to your former friends and current judges?
00:43:00I'd have to say thank you.
00:43:03Excuse me?
00:43:04Oh, I really mean it.
00:43:06A sincere thank you.
00:43:07I'm in a good place.
00:43:08I'm exploring connections with people outside of the spotlight, and I'm happy.
00:43:13Ooh, any connections in particular?
00:43:15Well, it's too soon.
00:43:17But if you love dance, make sure you check out this year's Snowball.
00:43:20And keep on dancing.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:22Bye.
00:43:24Yes, you're amazing, Bella.
00:43:34You caught them all by surprise.
00:43:37Me too.
00:43:38Oh, it's so much fun having you here.
00:43:40I'm glad I'm here too.
00:43:42I love being on holiday.
00:43:44Maybe this gives you some time to step back and really think about if television is what
00:43:49you want to be doing.
00:43:49Mm-hmm.
00:43:50I need real.
00:43:51A real Christmas with a real friend.
00:43:55I got you, girlfriend.
00:43:56Yeah.
00:43:58Anyways, I should take my own advice.
00:44:00Let's say we get this Christmas party going.
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:03Rap battle?
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:05It's Christmas time and the snow is falling.
00:44:08It's Christmas time and the shops are calling.
00:44:10No.
00:44:11No.
00:44:12Gift wrapping.
00:44:12No.
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:13Gift wrapping.
00:44:14Bring it.
00:44:16Please think seriously about staying.
00:44:19Well, I'm not going anywhere soon.
00:44:20Well, I'm not going anywhere soon.
00:44:21Plus, you haven't told me what you want Santa to bring you for Christmas.
00:44:25Well, Santa convince you to stay.
00:44:27How about we just go last minute Christmas shopping?
00:44:30Yes.
00:44:31Okay.
00:44:32Hello?
00:44:33Bella.
00:44:34Hey, thanks for picking up.
00:44:35Hi, Benjamin.
00:44:36Benjamin.
00:44:37Wow, you never call me that.
00:44:38Aren't you filming promos today?
00:44:39Yeah, Darla scheduled some blackout days.
00:44:40Things are not going good here, Bella.
00:44:41It's really not the same without you.
00:44:42Yeah, right.
00:44:43Right.
00:44:44Okay.
00:44:45Um, look, I'm really sorry about the way that things happened.
00:44:47And this with Simon Lamont, you were so nice, so Antonia and I, you put on the
00:44:50brave face just so the audience wouldn't hate us.
00:44:51Yeah, well, it's called being gracious, Ben.
00:44:52I just never expected to be humiliated in front of so many people.
00:44:57But I'm here with Hannah and I, you put on that brave face just so the audience wouldn't
00:45:10hate us.
00:45:11Yeah, well, it's called being gracious, Ben.
00:45:13I just never expected to be humiliated in front of so many people.
00:45:17But I'm here with Hannah and I'm actually really happy.
00:45:22Life is good.
00:45:23I'm really happy for you, Bella.
00:45:26But you are coming back to the show, right?
00:45:28I don't know, Ben.
00:45:30I don't know.
00:45:31Look, we need you here, Bella.
00:45:34We're having a meeting tomorrow.
00:45:40Hey, sit forward.
00:45:41Hi.
00:45:42Good.
00:45:43All right, now, are you going to turn me?
00:45:45Good one.
00:45:46Hey, um, are you sure you locked the door?
00:45:48I don't want anybody to see my moves, please.
00:45:50Yes, I locked the door.
00:45:52Hannah has a key.
00:45:53And she's at the movies, so don't worry.
00:45:57Okay.
00:45:58I trust you.
00:45:59Hey, by the way, I saw you on the Simon Lehmann show.
00:46:01I meant to ask you.
00:46:03Sorry, my phone just went off.
00:46:04Sure.
00:46:05Give me a second.
00:46:06Sure, sure.
00:46:09I'm so sorry.
00:46:10Can you give me a minute?
00:46:11It's the show and I should really take it.
00:46:13Sure.
00:46:14Sure.
00:46:15Okay, so how was the meeting?
00:46:18Ah, nobody can agree on what to do.
00:46:21Please tell me you're coming back soon.
00:46:23So snowy here.
00:46:24It's like real Christmas.
00:46:26You know that people actually move to LA so they don't have to deal with winter, right?
00:46:30I don't know if that's right for me anymore.
00:46:35And actually, I think I may have met someone here.
00:46:42I haven't felt this way in such a long time.
00:46:45Oh, really?
00:46:46I'm very happy for you.
00:46:48What's a lucky fella's name?
00:46:50Will Jones.
00:46:51Hey, can I ask you something?
00:46:53Yeah, sure.
00:46:54Yeah, sure.
00:46:55Did I seem happy on the show?
00:46:57You know, like before that night, I mean?
00:47:00Yeah, I think so.
00:47:02I've always loved being a part of the show, but I just...
00:47:06I don't really know how I feel anymore.
00:47:09For me, I just know the show is where I'm meant to be.
00:47:13Maybe I'm just fighting for something that I...
00:47:16I don't really want.
00:47:18Remember when I was about 10 years old,
00:47:20and I used to watch all the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies?
00:47:24Yes, I remember.
00:47:26And I'd be there for hours, in front of my bedroom mirror,
00:47:29trying to copy all their moves.
00:47:31Yeah, I'm sure your mum still has video of that.
00:47:33Of course she still has the videos.
00:47:37Well, even to this day, every time I step out onto this set,
00:47:40I get exactly the same feeling I did then.
00:47:43Like, everything's just... magic.
00:47:48Wow.
00:47:50That's amazing.
00:47:51You don't feel the same way?
00:48:08Not a lot of us tonight.
00:48:11Okay, not to panic.
00:48:13I'm sure it's just the snowy weather.
00:48:15Hey, I'm sure they're just shoveling out.
00:48:20I hope so.
00:48:24Okay, let's get started.
00:48:25Thanks for the ride.
00:48:37It was really nice to see a movie in an actual theatre.
00:48:41Hey, I may have overheard you talking too bad, and...
00:48:44Are you jealous?
00:48:45No, um...
00:48:46I-I just love spending time with you.
00:48:52I-I love spending time with you too.
00:48:54Oh my goodness, what is this place? It's huge! It's like a ballroom.
00:49:06It's like a ballroom.
00:49:10Wow.
00:49:11Okay.
00:49:13It-it may sound crazy.
00:49:14Too soon, or whatever people think, but just hear me out.
00:49:18If I've ever learned anything in life, it's to follow my instincts and...
00:49:22Bella...
00:49:25I'm head over heels for you. You must know that.
00:49:29My life makes sense when I'm around you.
00:49:33Don't go back to Los Angeles. You stay here.
00:49:36I can buy this. You and Hannah can-can expand the studio finally.
00:49:39More kids can fall in love with ballroom.
00:49:42And-and those Saturday night dances that you both dreamed about.
00:49:45It's all here.
00:49:48Will, I...
00:49:50I don't know what to say.
00:49:53Say that you stay.
00:49:55I need time to think.
00:49:57The show and Ben.
00:50:00Ben?
00:50:02After everything he did to you.
00:50:04I don't understand.
00:50:06It's complicated.
00:50:07We grew up together.
00:50:12I still have feelings for him.
00:50:13No.
00:50:14He's like a brother.
00:50:16And you don't just get rid of old feelings for new ones.
00:50:21You make room.
00:50:23Like...
00:50:25Like this beautiful room.
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:38Will, all I'm asking for is some time.
00:50:43You take all the time in the world.
00:50:46I'm here.
00:50:47What is going on?
00:50:57What is going on?
00:51:06Dala, why is Pierre B the third judge in the new poster?
00:51:09It's just an experiment.
00:51:11The network bosses are throwing spaghetti to the wall down here.
00:51:15And we have to appease them.
00:51:17Was this Antonia's idea?
00:51:19No.
00:51:20She tried to talk them out of it.
00:51:22They want to capitalize on Simon LeMond's interview.
00:51:26Well, I still have a contract.
00:51:28Well, they think you quit.
00:51:30You're all the way on the other side of the country and it's actually your job.
00:51:32You're playing with my life just to increase audience viewers?
00:51:37I know, I know.
00:51:39I don't mean to be insensitive.
00:51:40It's just...
00:51:41Pierre B.
00:51:42He's way too green to be sitting in your chair.
00:51:45Looks so young.
00:51:47We did seven minutes of promo.
00:51:48And they're doing well with the audience.
00:51:51You said you'd wait till after Christmas.
00:51:53Nobody can replace you.
00:51:55We're just going along with the press wave until the next episode.
00:51:58Well, give me something.
00:52:01What's going on up there?
00:52:03You got anything for me to spend?
00:52:05I'm spending time with old friends.
00:52:07I'm getting back into competitive dancing.
00:52:09Oh, that's good, Bella.
00:52:10I'll tell the press that you're happy.
00:52:18Am I happy?
00:52:23Thank you, everyone, for coming.
00:52:24I know it's been a crazy week.
00:52:26Oh.
00:52:31Uh, just everyone keep warming up.
00:52:33That's great.
00:52:34I gotta take this.
00:52:40What?
00:52:45Oh, okay, okay.
00:52:49Yes, thank you.
00:52:52Miss Kyle, what's wrong?
00:52:53Are you okay?
00:52:57Yeah, I'm fine.
00:52:58It's Andre.
00:52:59What happened?
00:53:01He hit some ice and he's had an accident.
00:53:04Is he going to be all right?
00:53:06I don't know any details yet, but he's in the hospital.
00:53:10You know what?
00:53:11Class is canceled.
00:53:12Let's go see Andre.
00:53:13Sorry.
00:53:16I wish.
00:53:22Bella?
00:53:23We need to talk.
00:53:24Bad news?
00:53:26The thing is, the marketing with Pierre, Ben and Antonia is hitting its stride.
00:53:31Their social numbers are climbing.
00:53:33Well, that's good news, right?
00:53:35Yeah.
00:53:36But we still want you in the third chair.
00:53:38And the more Pierre star rises, then the more our fickle fans forget about you.
00:53:45I get it.
00:53:47You need me to come back to L.A.
00:53:49Bottom line, it's been more than a week.
00:53:52You need to decide if you want this job or not.
00:53:55One marshmallow or two?
00:53:58Not even three will be enough.
00:54:00What happened?
00:54:02I have to go back to the show.
00:54:04Well, not before Christmas though, right?
00:54:06I have to do the finale.
00:54:08Dala thought she could push it to next year, but then the executive producers wanted to hire another judge.
00:54:13I get it.
00:54:15You have to go back and fight for your job.
00:54:18I don't like it, but I get it.
00:54:21Well, right now I'm the one that's not keeping up the end of the deal, especially with the dances.
00:54:26But you need space.
00:54:28A real holiday.
00:54:30Not that showbiz cares about any of those things.
00:54:33But I do.
00:54:35And I see how much you need those things.
00:54:38Will cares too, you know.
00:54:40Oh, Hannah.
00:54:42Will showed me the most amazing space.
00:54:44You could grow your studio.
00:54:45Really?
00:54:46Yeah.
00:54:47Will would be my business partner like we talked about all those years ago in Miss Bernadette's class.
00:54:51I need time.
00:54:53Will doesn't know how long the studio will be for sale and Dala doesn't know how long she can keep the executives at bay.
00:54:58All you need for Christmas is time.
00:55:01No kidding.
00:55:04This problem isn't gonna fix itself.
00:55:05I have to tell you something.
00:55:22Oh.
00:55:23This is what I hear.
00:55:24Is not you, Will?
00:55:25Is the show?
00:55:26It's not that.
00:55:27I can feel myself seriously falling for you, but...
00:55:30But.
00:55:31Oh, there is a but.
00:55:32A very small word that warns you that a big negative is coming.
00:55:36But, uh, you don't think I'm such a great dancer?
00:55:40Oh, but you're breaking up with me.
00:55:43I have to go home.
00:55:44I have to salvage what's left of my career.
00:55:47Oh, well, it's only on the other side of the country.
00:55:50I've worked so hard for my career.
00:55:54I just can't let it go.
00:55:57But, you can't let me go.
00:56:16Anna.
00:56:18She's really gone, huh?
00:56:19Yeah, she is.
00:56:21She's not coming back.
00:56:23Not for a long time.
00:56:24Especially after what I said.
00:56:27I just walked out.
00:56:29What an idiot.
00:56:35Oh, great.
00:56:37What? What's up?
00:56:39Maureen is 75% sure she has to work now.
00:56:43And Marcus is 50-50.
00:56:45Out.
00:56:47Andre is out.
00:56:48Which means I don't have enough strong dancers for the big three events.
00:56:52Though you can still win the two events, right?
00:56:54Sure, but bragging rights for the snowball is all about the big three.
00:56:59Just feeding for Maureen.
00:57:01I-I can't.
00:57:03I'm not allowed to compete because I'm the studio owner.
00:57:06Oh.
00:57:08Too bad you ain't dancing so much.
00:57:10Hmm.
00:57:12Also, you're not a girl.
00:57:14Don't worry.
00:57:16I'm sure you found a way to up the reputation of this school.
00:57:19Thanks.
00:57:20Plus, we can still go have fun, right?
00:57:24All right.
00:57:25Let's go see Andre.
00:57:27Everyone needs some company when they're in the hospital.
00:57:30Yeah.
00:57:31I was gonna meet you there.
00:57:32I got a very expensive date with an electrician.
00:57:34Another one?
00:57:35Third date and counting.
00:57:36Hm.
00:57:37He really likes you.
00:57:38He adores me.
00:58:00Live from Studio 5, it's the Dance Steps Showdown!
00:58:06Here to get us in the holiday spirit, it's our own Bella Fox and Ben Sparks!
00:58:15Thank you. Thank you all so much.
00:58:18I'm so grateful for your love and support.
00:58:21It really means a lot.
00:58:23I'm not gonna lie, it was a very difficult time.
00:58:25I mean, you don't grow up dreaming of being humiliated on live TV.
00:58:28I've realized in life the most important thing is to be honest with yourself and others.
00:58:35I'm so happy to be back here at the finale with all the performers, Ben and even Antonio.
00:58:44Well, that was exhausting.
00:59:01How was the first day back?
00:59:02A big love fest with all the fans.
00:59:03Congratulations.
00:59:04I'm glad the show went well.
00:59:05Do you want to know who won?
00:59:06I'll just check it out on the morning show tomorrow.
00:59:20Listen, I gotta run, I just, I wanted to check in and make sure you're okay.
00:59:26Thanks, I'm okay.
00:59:29Well, Hannah, I'm sorry I had to leave.
00:59:32I hope you can still compete in the Snowball.
00:59:34Me too.
00:59:36I'm working on it.
00:59:38I better go.
00:59:40The Snowball waits for no dancer.
00:59:42It does not.
00:59:43We'll talk to you later.
00:59:44Yeah.
01:00:05Hi.
01:00:06Hey, gorgeous.
01:00:07Hi.
01:00:09Hi, Bella, it's so good to see you.
01:00:11Well, that TV hug was not our actual reunion.
01:00:15Oh, no, we need to talk.
01:00:17Uh, no, we need to celebrate like we used to on the road during the holidays.
01:00:22Uh, excuse me, can we get some champagne over here, please?
01:00:25Just two glasses, thanks.
01:00:27It's so good to have you back, Bella.
01:00:29It's great to see you two, really.
01:00:31So great to see you.
01:00:33Pierre was so extra with the promos, I cannot imagine doing a full show.
01:00:37Well, if you're saying he's extra, then he must have been really over the top.
01:00:40Okay.
01:00:42What are you saying, Bella?
01:00:43It's just a joke, sweetie, don't worry.
01:00:45Yes, you know, we're all over the top when the cameras are rolling.
01:00:48Let's talk about you, then.
01:00:49I hear you have a new guy.
01:00:51Hannah showed me some of the posts.
01:00:53Who's the new mystery man?
01:00:55Well, his name is Will, and, uh, he's actually amazing.
01:01:00He's, he's smart, he's fun.
01:01:04Here.
01:01:07Oh, good looking.
01:01:08Uh-huh.
01:01:12It's a good Kenny dance?
01:01:14Well, he's not a dancer, but, um, he does love to dance.
01:01:19So, when's he moving down?
01:01:21Well, he's, he's not.
01:01:23That's fine.
01:01:25You're gonna be way too busy for any romance.
01:01:29I don't know if the production team told you yet, but it looks like the lead judge position's yours after all.
01:01:35You fought for me? You actually had my back?
01:01:37No.
01:01:40Then? What is it?
01:01:42Uh, Antonia, honey, maybe, maybe this isn't the right time to be doing this.
01:01:48Just tell her.
01:01:51Remember when Antonia and I went away to that resort over Labor Day weekend?
01:01:56Yeah, you got engaged.
01:01:58Actually, we eloped.
01:02:01Okay.
01:02:03And now Antonia's expecting.
01:02:05Oh, congratulations.
01:02:10The show only wants you back because they don't want to have to find somebody when she goes away on maternity leave.
01:02:18So, so it's mine by default?
01:02:22You're back. That's all that matters, right?
01:02:24Okay, look, I'm happy for you, but how am I just hearing about this consolation prize right now?
01:02:29Bella, we haven't released this news to the public yet.
01:02:32Just stop it, Antonia. She has a right to bend.
01:02:35Okay, I'm not going to make a fool of myself again over your orchestrated drama.
01:02:38Okay.
01:02:40Congratulations and, uh, Merry Christmas.
01:02:42Merry Christmas.
01:02:43Yeah.
01:02:44I really am happy for you.
01:02:51Thanks, Bella.
01:02:52Yeah.
01:02:54You know, I always wanted a family.
01:02:57I know.
01:02:58We wish the best for you two.
01:03:01You have a funny way of showing it.
01:03:07I spent the last week with people who, who really care.
01:03:11Like, real people.
01:03:12What, this Will guy you just met like a hot minute ago?
01:03:15Yeah.
01:03:16And why do you care so much about her new boyfriend?
01:03:18Okay.
01:03:19I'm going to leave you two play happy families.
01:03:21I'm going to go and be the person that I'm actually meant to be.
01:03:24So.
01:03:25Sorry.
01:03:29I'm happy for you.
01:03:31Merry Christmas.
01:03:32Bye.
01:03:33And go.
01:03:34I did it.
01:03:35That's it.
01:03:36That's it.
01:03:38All right.
01:03:42Snowball is almost here.
01:03:49Stop.
01:03:50Everybody stop.
01:03:51Right where you are.
01:03:53Bella.
01:03:56We're all here.
01:03:57Wow.
01:03:58You all look so great.
01:03:59I miss you so much.
01:04:00Aw.
01:04:01We miss you too, Bella.
01:04:02Two more days into the big night.
01:04:04The Snowball Competition.
01:04:06You feeling ready?
01:04:07As ready as we'll ever be.
01:04:09How's Andre?
01:04:10Much better.
01:04:11He's out of the hospital.
01:04:12Well, let's do this for Andre.
01:04:14I love how you all support each other and really work together as a team.
01:04:18Aw, thank you, Bella.
01:04:19But for today, we are all here practicing the rough patches in each of our dances.
01:04:24I have blisters.
01:04:25But I also have bandages.
01:04:28Thank you, Marcus.
01:04:29Let's just work until we get it right.
01:04:31Yeah.
01:04:32That.
01:04:33Woo!
01:04:34Bye, Bella.
01:04:35Bye.
01:04:36Good luck.
01:05:05Bye.
01:05:06Bye.
01:05:07Bye.
01:05:35Thanks for getting lunch, Will.
01:05:44Smells great.
01:05:45Better than a hospital food, right?
01:05:47Funny.
01:05:49Sit down, sit down.
01:05:51You okay?
01:05:52I could have come to your place.
01:05:54Nah, it's good to get out of the house.
01:05:56Yeah?
01:05:57Seriously, thanks for helping me out at home.
01:06:00That's what my neighbor is all for.
01:06:05Hey, man, what's wrong?
01:06:16Nothing.
01:06:19What happened with Bella?
01:06:21Oh, she, uh, she left.
01:06:23She went back to Los Angeles.
01:06:24I told her that she cared more about her job than me.
01:06:28Okay.
01:06:30So you're upset?
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:32What did she say when you called her?
01:06:34I, I haven't talked to her.
01:06:38Let me get this straight.
01:06:40You like her, but you told her she had to choose between her job or you, and then you didn't
01:06:44talk with her again?
01:06:46Yeah, kind of, yeah.
01:06:50If you were still racing, and Bella told you to choose between the track or her, what would
01:06:54you do?
01:06:55It's the impossible choice, man.
01:06:57Both of them are important to me.
01:06:58Right, so...
01:07:01Yeah.
01:07:06Compromised.
01:07:07You try to make it work.
01:07:10Ain't gonna be easy, but yeah, we can do that.
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:15Exactly.
01:07:17Don't you think you should talk with her?
01:07:19I should.
01:07:25You know, you're a pretty smart man.
01:07:29How are you?
01:07:30Invite me to the wedding.
01:07:32And, uh, set me up with a hard bridesmaid.
01:07:34I will.
01:07:38To sum up, the producers and I are thrilled to announce that our Dance Steps International
01:07:43formats will be launching in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and the UK, all this coming fall.
01:07:49It's Dance Steps everywhere.
01:07:53Thank you, everybody, for coming to our launch today.
01:07:56Please join us now in the event room to celebrate Dance Steps International.
01:08:00Thank you, everyone.
01:08:04Antonia, anything to confirm.
01:08:06I mean, the rumor mill is going crazy.
01:08:09Okay, I hate her.
01:08:11Wow, you are one classy lady.
01:08:13Well, Ben and Antonia deserve the spotlight.
01:08:16They've put their heart and souls into their career.
01:08:18Hmm, what about your heart?
01:08:20I'm okay.
01:08:21Ooh, do you want me to read you the latest list of Bachelor's for Dance Steps, Bella?
01:08:25It's good.
01:08:26Please do not.
01:08:27All right, well, where's your East Coast guy?
01:08:30I haven't heard from him.
01:08:31Really?
01:08:32I mean, can't he just move here?
01:08:34No, he's got a lot of commitments, and he's got a great life there.
01:08:38Ooh, boo, a man with a great life.
01:08:40We all hate that.
01:08:41Yeah.
01:08:43Well, you're going to the party, right?
01:08:46Absolutely.
01:08:47I wouldn't want to miss celebrating my ex-dance partner and his new fiance.
01:08:51Okay, that is the Christmas spirit.
01:08:55Merry Christmas to me.
01:08:56There she is.
01:09:02Hi.
01:09:02Can I get a word?
01:09:03Sure.
01:09:05We want to change up the dance-off scene in Promo 3.
01:09:08Okay, that's great.
01:09:09Oh, but please don't make me ad-lib.
01:09:12No, definitely not.
01:09:14Um, we want you to dance.
01:09:18On your own.
01:09:19No, Darla, no.
01:09:21I'm not.
01:09:21Oh, I know, I know.
01:09:23You always dance with a partner.
01:09:25But think about the attention we'll get, Bella.
01:09:28People want to see more of you.
01:09:30That's the thing.
01:09:31This show just keeps taking more and more and more.
01:09:34Okay.
01:09:36Dancing for your supper.
01:09:38Better ring to it?
01:09:39No.
01:09:39Oh, just don't forget, your holiday sit down with Simon.
01:09:439.45?
01:09:44Sure.
01:09:51Well, Merry Christmas Eve, everybody.
01:09:54Boy, do I have a special guest for you today.
01:09:57She's become part of our Simon Lamont Show family.
01:10:00A professional dancer sharing her innermost feelings
01:10:04about her personal relationships
01:10:06with Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker.
01:10:10At the Dance Steps Showdown finale,
01:10:12she was back in the lead judge's chair.
01:10:15Please welcome Bella Fox.
01:10:18Oh, you're gorgeous.
01:10:21Oh, give us a twirl.
01:10:21Yes.
01:10:22Mwah, mwah.
01:10:24Please have a seat.
01:10:25Welcome, welcome.
01:10:27Oh, Bella, Bella, Bella.
01:10:29My goodness.
01:10:30Now, you were pushed into a very small role on the show, right?
01:10:34Even though you've been there since the very start,
01:10:3610 years, I think.
01:10:38But, um, Antonia stepped right over you
01:10:41into a very nice promotion, I might add.
01:10:43And Ben Sparks did not take you along
01:10:46on his international successes.
01:10:48But here's what I think.
01:10:49If these baby rumors are true,
01:10:52you're going to win the consolation prize
01:10:53and be right back in that lead judge's chair in no time.
01:10:57Well, I can't really comment on that,
01:10:58but if Ben and Antonia are expecting,
01:11:02I'd be truly happy for them.
01:11:03Hmm.
01:11:04Everyone deserves to be happy.
01:11:07Well, that's true.
01:11:07And I think, you know, sometimes in our line of work,
01:11:11we put so much energy out there into our public persona,
01:11:15we forget to take care of our inner selves right here.
01:11:19So I want you to remember, this is a safe space, okay,
01:11:23where you can really open up and talk about how it felt
01:11:27when Ben and Antonia didn't have your back.
01:11:31Oh, and now that they're expecting, can you talk about that?
01:11:35Not meant to talk about that.
01:11:37Oh, that's cool. Thank you.
01:11:38There you have it.
01:11:39Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker are expecting.
01:11:43Wow, that is fantastic.
01:11:46All I can really say is that Ben and Antonia
01:11:50are exactly where they're supposed to be.
01:11:53Hmm.
01:11:54With each other.
01:11:55Oh, that's great.
01:11:57Wait, what are you doing?
01:11:58Los Angeles, you've been so great to me.
01:12:03But I've got a snowball trophy to win.
01:12:07Uh, thank you.
01:12:09Uh, we're gonna go to commercial.
01:12:13What about the new season?
01:12:17I'm taking back my life.
01:12:18I'm going home to Grand Bend.
01:12:20Wait, just give me a minute to talk about this,
01:12:22to talk you out of it.
01:12:23There's nothing to talk about.
01:12:24I'm celebrating Christmas upstate New York
01:12:26with people that I love.
01:12:27If I make the 12 o'clock slide, I'll be there on time.
01:12:30Bella, I know how to spin this.
01:12:31We say you snapped because of all the emotions swirling around.
01:12:35I'll get the crew working on that promo now.
01:12:37Did you hear what I said?
01:12:39What do you think?
01:12:4015 second bits, 20 maybe?
01:12:41Do you have a better spin?
01:12:43I need a headline.
01:12:44Bella Fox leaves Dance Steps
01:12:47to pursue her true passion,
01:12:49her true friends,
01:12:50and her true love.
01:12:52That is a terrible pitch.
01:12:54We don't have it in the budget
01:12:56to follow you to New York.
01:12:58Darla,
01:12:58we had a great run.
01:13:03Bella!
01:13:04Bella!
01:13:04Bella!
01:13:04Bella!
01:13:14Bella!
01:13:37Bella!
01:13:38Bella!
01:13:39Bella!
01:13:39Marcus, you made it!
01:14:09Take some deep breaths. I've never seen it this nervous before. Have you seen Andre and Maureen? They promised they'd be here. Maybe the car broke down.
01:14:19I'm sure they're fine. It's Christmas Eve. There's a ton of traffic.
01:14:22I'm sure you're right. I just... I really want them to see me dance. To show them my hard work.
01:14:28Marcus, you got this. You got this, man.
01:14:31Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball!
01:14:38Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball! Snowball!
01:14:51Hannah, are you still here?
01:14:54Bella, we came back.
01:14:58Didn't you see me on the morning show?
01:15:00No, I was a little bit in the dark. Literally.
01:15:07Did you miss me?
01:15:11Of course I missed you.
01:15:13But what are you doing here in the studio?
01:15:15I came back to see if Hannah was still here.
01:15:17No, she went to the Snowball.
01:15:19Well, what are we still doing here? Come on, let's go home.
01:15:22Let's go, baby.
01:15:23Okay.
01:15:24Can I just see you?
01:15:26Just...
01:15:27Just smile and have fun, okay?
01:15:31Just don't tell the judges we don't have enough participants.
01:15:34Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
01:15:47Let earth receive her King.
01:15:53Let every heart...
01:15:57Let heaven and nature sing.
01:15:59Let heaven and nature sing.
01:16:01Let heaven and nature sing.
01:16:04And heaven and heaven and nature sing.
01:16:16Joy to the world, the Savior brings.
01:16:21Let men their songs employ.
01:16:27While fields and floods.
01:16:33Repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:35Repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:38Repeat the sounding, the sounding joy.
01:16:47Thank you, everybody.
01:16:51And in first place for the jive,
01:16:59it's Hannah Kyle's School of Dance.
01:17:08Congratulations.
01:17:09Yes, well done.
01:17:10We so deserve to win.
01:17:12You came.
01:17:14Oh, I should never have left.
01:17:16This is home.
01:17:18I see Will is here.
01:17:20Mm-hmm.
01:17:21Mm-hmm.
01:17:22Do you have anything you want to share?
01:17:23Let's unpack that later.
01:17:24Wait, are you gonna stay and be my partner for the studio?
01:17:27Please say yes.
01:17:29Oh, Santa bring me a yes.
01:17:31Yes.
01:17:32I'm finally ready to put down some roots.
01:17:35Oh, salsa time.
01:17:37Uh, Reba, can you go on with Marcus?
01:17:39Maureen's not here.
01:17:41It'd be great.
01:17:42Yeah.
01:17:43It'd be great.
01:17:44I know.
01:17:45Santa, Santa.
