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.
00:08:02Certainly, our friends, I've missed you so much there.
00:08:03Well I missed you so much.
00:08:04Well I missed you so much.
00:08:06I've missed you so much, babe.
00:08:30I've missed you so much, too.
00:08:32And all the snow.
00:08:33Here.
00:08:33It's beautiful.
00:08:36And sparkling.
00:08:39Come on in.
00:08:44They should be ashamed of themselves.
00:08:46Blindsiding you like that?
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:49I 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.
00:08:59You know what you need?
00:09:07You need to dance.
00:09:08It's been such a long day.
00:09:10I really don't feel like dancing.
00:09:11Oh, come on.
00:09:12Our favorite movie.
00:09:14We can do the sister scene.
00:09:16It'll cheer you up.
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.
00:09:42Oh, we need wine.
00:09:46Yes, we do.
00:09:46Oh, there.
00:10:13Fair.
00:10:14Put it back properly.
00:10:15I know.
00:10:16I...
00:10:19Hi.
00:10:20Morning, sleepyhead.
00:10:21I'm still on West Coast time.
00:10:22It's still early for me.
00:10:24Spring light emergency over.
00:10:26I gotta go back to the office.
00:10:28Uh, 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.
00:10:40I can't do it.
00:10:41Well, don't tell me it's too soon.
00:10:43Come 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.
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:14But it's against my will.
00:11:16I am your witness, Bella.
00:11:19Great.
00:11:20Oh, you're a lifesaver.
00:11:22Okay.
00:11:23Well, 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.
00:11:31Bye, Hannah.
00:11:33You're welcome.
00:11:39Good morning.
00:11:40Very nice of you for something for Hannah.
00:11:42I'm sure the student would love having a famous dancer
00:11:44teaching them today.
00:11:45I'm not sure about famous.
00:11:47I love teaching and helping people.
00:11:50That's my favorite thing to do.
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:52Do you know that Hannah and I
00:11:53were going to open up our own studio?
00:11:54Wow.
00:11:55Yeah, we were going to have this huge space
00:11:57and have big dance classes and Saturday night dances.
00:11:59Yeah, that sounds like fun.
00:12:00Yeah, it would have been fun.
00:12:01Hey, what are you going to do?
00:12:02What are you going to do?
00:12:03How are you with really old boomboxes?
00:12:04Oh, I 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.
00:12:23I think the 1890s are calling now.
00:12:25Ah.
00:12:26Okay, funny guy.
00:12:28You know what?
00:12:29I think you should take my lesson.
00:12:31I want to see those two left feet of yours.
00:12:33Yeah, not a chance.
00:12:34Sorry.
00:12:35What, you just come here for the coffee?
00:12:37Yeah, the coffee and the Christmas decoration emergencies.
00:12:40But just don't tell the head office that I'm putting some superintendent duties.
00:12:44That's all.
00:12:45Really?
00:12:46Why?
00:12:47It's a joke.
00:12:48I'm actually the head of the management group.
00:12:50You know, selling and buying buildings.
00:12:52Okay.
00:12:53So why does Hannah make you out to be the handyman?
00:12:56Just like the same reason you got roped into helping for the snowball competition.
00:13:00She is a very persuasive woman.
00:13:02Mm-hmm.
00:13:03You know her.
00:13:04She's your friend.
00:13:05That's true.
00:13:06One minute she was cheering me up and the next minute I'm stuck teaching her students for
00:13:09the snowball competition.
00:13:10I have to say, she's pretty good.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13Yeah.
00:13:14But now I'm going to need some coffee, so.
00:13:15Do you want some?
00:13:16Please.
00:13:20Thanks.
00:13:21You know, Bella, I wanted to tell you something.
00:13:23I'm very sorry.
00:13:24Very sorry about what happened on your show.
00:13:26And on top of everything, during the Christmas finals too, this Antonia is something.
00:13:32You stole your job.
00:13:34She's terrible.
00:13:35Well, she didn't exactly steal it.
00:13:39Wait.
00:13:41You watch the show?
00:13:43Yeah.
00:13:44Every week.
00:13:45With my grandma.
00:13:46You're a favorite.
00:13:47That is so sweet.
00:13:50They really made a huge mistake replacing you.
00:13:53Well, that was nice of you to say.
00:13:56I'm not trying to say that to be nice.
00:13:58Your career is full of accomplishment.
00:14:01See 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.
00:14:09Wow.
00:14:10How could I say no to that?
00:14:11I'd be in my office if you need me.
00:14:13Okay.
00:14:14Bye.
00:14:15Hi, everyone.
00:14:16Hi.
00:14:17Um, I'm Bella Fox and Hannah's asked me to fill in for her and 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 when you're 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.
00:14:49Let's get started with the salsa.
00:14:50Let's put some music on if I can get this thing to work.
00:14:56There we go.
00:14:57So we're going to come forward with the left foot.
00:14:59Six, seven, and one, two, three, and one, two, three.
00:15:04Very good.
00:15:05We're looking great, guys.
00:15:06Let's take it to the side.
00:15:07To the side.
00:15:08Excellent.
00:15:09Looking good.
00:15:14I 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.
00:15:42So they can do it.
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:46You're right.
00:15:47And with your help and my persistence, we'll be spectacular.
00:15:53Yeah.
00:15:54It'll be fun.
00:15:56Except I can't stop thinking about the show.
00:15:59I know.
00:16:00You love that show.
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:03Let me guess.
00:16:06Your producer.
00:16:07Yeah.
00:16:10Stick to your guns, Bella.
00:16:21I'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.
00:16:29Hook the audience in for next season.
00:16:31Some hook.
00:16:32You practically fired me.
00:16:34Listen, Bella.
00:16:35You are a great judge.
00:16:37And the love you have for dance really shines through when you talk to contestants.
00:16:43But?
00:16:44But?
00:16:45The people upstairs think it's time for a rebrand.
00:16:50Uh, you know, a refresh.
00:16:53Someone younger, a pop star, who can barely dance?
00:16:56That was made very clear to me on live TV.
00:16:59I'm a meme dollar.
00:17:00This is not how we wanted to launch the news.
00:17:03So here's the spin.
00:17:04It's a new chapter in Dance Steps Family Scrapbook.
00:17:09It's good you got away.
00:17:11You've been working too hard for too long.
00:17:13You need time out of the spotlight.
00:17:15Your family here misses you.
00:17:17Well, maybe the writings are missing me.
00:17:19Okay.
00:17:20You're right.
00:17:21The audience isn't loving Antonia right now.
00:17:23But we can capitalize on this.
00:17:25Oh God, that sounded awful out loud.
00:17:28Look, 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.
00:17:44Okay.
00:17:45It'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.
00:17:54Sorry, insensitive.
00:17:56Your friend stabbed you in the back.
00:17:58But okay.
00:17:59Hey, have fun with different friends.
00:18:02Come back in the new year.
00:18:04Sit at the table with us.
00:18:18Hannah, let's crush this snowball competition.
00:18:21I'm in.
00:18:22I'm so in.
00:18:24Yes.
00:18:25Toe, heel, step.
00:18:27Let'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.
00:18:38The 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.
00:18:46Oh, and if anyone wants private lessons, talk to Bella.
00:18:51She doesn't seem to have any pressing work engagements.
00:18:55Very funny.
00:18:57All right, we'll see you at next class.
00:18:59Make sure you all come because we have a lot of work to do.
00:19:02Okay? Bye.
00:19:07Okay.
00:19:08Do we have any actually trained dancers here?
00:19:11I don't know yet.
00:19:13Will swears his neighbor Andre can dance,
00:19:15so he's going to talk to him.
00:19:16I don't know.
00:19:37Hey, I'm Andre. Will sent me.
00:19:39I know who you are, so you must be Hannah Kyle.
00:19:41I'm Hannah. Welcome.
00:19:43I've never done the snowball competition before,
00:19:44but Will said I might be able to go with your school
00:19:47if I'm good enough.
00:19:49Yeah, well, 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.
00:20:02We might actually win this thing.
00:20:03That's great, Andre.
00:20:05That's great, Andre. Keep it going.
00:20:08First things first.
00:20:10Who are you going to dance with?
00:20:12You want me to dance at the snowball?
00:20:14Of course.
00:20:15I can't dance. I'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.
00:20:24You're all doing great.
00:20:28And Andre, welcome to the snowball team.
00:20:32Great work, everybody.
00:20:34The snowball trophy is ours.
00:20:36I'm the love of money
00:20:38On things that I don't need
00:20:40I told you what I crave
00:20:43Santa, Santa
00:20:45I already feel so lucky
00:20:48The second I'm blizzard
00:20:49Oh, great. You're here.
00:20:55I need you to step for the snowball.
00:20:57Can you help me out?
00:20:58Well, I just need a body to figure it out on.
00:21:01Hold me.
00:21:02Great. Hold it.
00:21:03Okay. We're going to take a step forward on this foot
00:21:06To go forward.
00:21:07Good. Back.
00:21:09Now, let's grab my shoulder.
00:21:12Come forward.
00:21:13Good.
00:21:14Now you're going to dip me.
00:21:15So dip.
00:21:16Good.
00:21:17Spin around.
00:21:18And then over.
00:21:19And voila.
00:21:24Voila.
00:21:27Maybe now you can do something for me.
00:21:31Would you come with me
00:21:32To my office Christmas party tomorrow?
00:21:35It's a little last minute
00:21:36And I don't have anything to wear.
00:21:38What?
00:21:39And I can lend you something sparkly.
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:42She does love sparkly
00:21:43And she loves to shop, so...
00:21:45So it's a yes?
00:21:48Yeah.
00:21:48So now do me a favor.
00:21:50I was terrible at this.
00:21:51Can you please show me one more time?
00:21:52Okay.
00:21:54All right.
00:21:54I'm still holding.
00:21:57Will's a great guy.
00:21:59You approve?
00:22:00Okay, so I didn't approve of Ben
00:22:03When you were dating him
00:22:04But maybe I was a bit jealous
00:22:06That you were in a relationship
00:22:07And I wasn't
00:22:08Nice self-awareness
00:22:09Will is everything you want
00:22:12And you know it
00:22:14So just embrace the flirting
00:22:16And forget about the public humiliation double whammy
00:22:19Well, the internet exists, Hannah
00:22:21You know what I mean
00:22:22Getting fired from a job
00:22:25Is a huge hit to the self-esteem
00:22:27But you
00:22:28Are a vibrant
00:22:29Beautiful
00:22:31Graceful
00:22:32Intelligent
00:22:34Okay, thanks for the pet talk
00:22:36But Will's waiting
00:22:37And I have to go
00:22:38Uh...
00:22:40What?
00:22:43Just, uh...
00:22:45Try this on
00:22:49Yeah
00:22:53Hi
00:22:59Wow
00:23:00You look amazing
00:23:05Thank you
00:23:06You look great, too
00:23:07Let's go
00:23:09Yeah
00:23:19I...
00:23:24I have to tell you something
00:23:25Mm-hmm
00:23:26I loved dancing with you
00:23:28You're an incredible teacher
00:23:30You deserve to be the number one judge on this show
00:23:32The expert voice
00:23:34Yeah, well, I'm afraid the online clips would say a different story
00:23:37Listen, I'm serious
00:23:39What they did to you was horrible
00:23:40But all the way to the end
00:23:42They kept your grace under the pressure
00:23:44You really think so?
00:23:47Yeah
00:23:47I mean, as professional as anyone can be under the circumstances, yeah
00:23:51Bella
00:23:52You were all class
00:23:54Thank you
00:23:57That really means a lot
00:23:59Woo!
00:24:03Oh
00:24:03They're your colleagues?
00:24:09Uh, yeah
00:24:09Yeah
00:24:10It's always the one you least expected
00:24:12That
00:24:13Let loose at a Christmas party
00:24:15That is true
00:24:16So tell me something I would least expect about you
00:24:21Oh, me?
00:24:22Me?
00:24:23Oh, wow
00:24:23Um, least expected
00:24:25I have one
00:24:27Mm-hmm
00:24:27I sponsor a cheap panty named Isabel
00:24:30At a refuge down in Florida
00:24:32I have a picture of her on the fridge
00:24:35I would bring you tomorrow
00:24:36Yeah, it's, uh, it's pretty interesting
00:24:40I get a postcard from time to time
00:24:42You know, it's a pretty low-maintenance relationship
00:24:44Mm-hmm
00:24:45My high-maintenance relationship was with racing
00:24:49Oh
00:24:49You know, indie cars
00:24:51Do you still race?
00:24:53Actually, no, I stopped last year
00:24:55Were you good?
00:24:58Kinda
00:24:58Okay, well, I bet you were really good
00:25:01But why did you stop?
00:25:03Well, some of the drivers got into a very bad accident
00:25:06So I stopped before it was me
00:25:08I saved some of my winnings
00:25:10And, um, you know, starting to buy properties
00:25:12Well, I'm sure your grandma Grace is really happy about that
00:25:15Grace was thrilled for sure
00:25:17Yeah
00:25:17So now, tell me something random about you
00:25:19Once I was at a beach
00:25:21I'm swimming in the ocean
00:25:22And over a hundred jellyfish stung me
00:25:25It made the news and everything
00:25:27What?
00:25:28Where?
00:25:29On my bum
00:25:30No
00:25:31Where?
00:25:33Oh, in Australia
00:25:34Where everything can kill you
00:25:37Well, in France, we only have snails
00:25:38So we good
00:25:39Right
00:25:39But here, only fresh lakes
00:25:41So no jellyfish on sites
00:25:44Another reason I love it here so much
00:25:46Hey, I saw an article today
00:25:48Well, I'm not gonna be thrilled
00:25:50The ten men better fucks shoot dates
00:25:54Oh my goodness
00:25:55Guess what?
00:25:57I never meant the cut
00:25:57Pretty disappointed, but hey, anyway
00:25:59Well, I'd say that's just really poor journalism
00:26:02Mm-hmm
00:26:03I agree
00:26:04Who's ready for karaoke?
00:26:07So you say you don't dance
00:26:08But
00:26:10Do you karaoke?
00:26:13Dun-dun-dun
00:26:14Are you gonna sing?
00:26:19Yes
00:26:19Deck the halls with boughs of holly
00:26:23La-la-la-la-la
00:26:25La-la-la-la-la
00:26:27Tis the season to be jolly
00:26:31La-la-la-la-la
00:26:32La-la-la-la
00:26:34La-la-la-la
00:26:36La-la-la-la-la
00:26:38I can't believe you didn't know the words to deck the halls
00:26:45I'm sorry, I'm French
00:26:47But by the way, you were great
00:26:49You were following that bouncy ball like a champ
00:26:51I tried
00:26:52I meant to ask you
00:26:54Are the dancers for the snowball competition working out?
00:26:58They're working so hard
00:26:59They're so dedicated
00:27:00It's amazing
00:27:01Okay, but what I meant to ask is
00:27:04Do they have the moves?
00:27:05Can they win?
00:27:07You seem awfully invested in this competition
00:27:09For someone who doesn't dance
00:27:11I'm an athlete
00:27:12I love to compete
00:27:13You know, athletes make great dances
00:27:16Thank you
00:27:17Well, I did dance once
00:27:19Yeah
00:27:19My own high school prom
00:27:21But that was it
00:27:21What about you?
00:27:24Oh, my mum put me into dance when I was four
00:27:26And I loved it
00:27:27And then Ben and I got partnered up when we were teenagers
00:27:30Ben
00:27:31You used to date?
00:27:34Well, we dated a long time ago
00:27:36We 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?
00:27:44I hate to admit it, but they're actually perfect together
00:27:47So, hold on
00:27:49You were old friends until...
00:27:52Until they stabbed me in the back
00:27:54But that's all behind me now
00:27:57And, 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
00:28:06Do you want to bring you to dessert buffet?
00:28:10Yes
00:28:10Let's go
00:28:11Okay
00:28:12Awesome
00:28:12I hope we can do this again
00:28:24Bella
00:28:25Look, I know you're going through it a lot lately
00:28:28You don't have to
00:28:29What I mean is
00:28:30If you need to talk
00:28:32I'm here
00:28:33I really appreciate that
00:28:38Au revoir
00:28:39Au revoir
00:28:40Coming up, the career triangle that rocked the dance steps world
00:28:51Ben 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
00:28:58And I know you can't wait
00:29:00It is so inappropriate to do this on television
00:29:04Like, how can you bury your feelings to a camera?
00:29:08Yeah, I thought they were my friends
00:29:11Yeah
00:29:11Before the whole et-tu-brute betrayal
00:29:14Are you sure you want to go back into that fishbowl?
00:29:21Let me guess
00:29:22Your producer?
00:29:24You have some weed sick sense
00:29:26You know that, right?
00:29:27But yes
00:29:27It's Dala pretending to care
00:29:30For what it's worth
00:29:32I'm not pretending
00:29:34I really want you to be happy
00:29:37Audience, please welcome Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker
00:29:42Ben, we know these are difficult times for you
00:29:49Do you still actually have a friendship with Bella Fox?
00:29:53Yes, Simon, thankfully I think I do
00:29:56Okay, because you actually stabbed her in the back professionally
00:30:01I truly am grateful to have Bella as a friend
00:30:03We'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
00:30:16But Bella and I, we're really important to each other
00:30:20Okay, because actually my sources say
00:30:22You're no longer on speaking terms
00:30:25Is that correct?
00:30:26No, no it's not
00:30:28Look, if you ask me
00:30:30I think the pressures of the show
00:30:33They started to take a toll on Bella
00:30:35And I'd noticed something in her spirit had changed
00:30:39And you're sure it wasn't you?
00:30:42Again, I should have communicated better
00:30:45But Bella and I will always be friends
00:30:49Our parents are friends
00:30:50Her aunt was our coach
00:30:51She really is like the sister I never had
00:30:54Does this seem cold to you?
00:30:57This seems cold
00:30:58Super
00:30:58Antonia, now that you're the lead judge on Dan Steps
00:31:02Tell us, how does that feel?
00:31:03Well, I love the show
00:31:05Everyone is so wonderful
00:31:06The crew, the couples, just everyone
00:31:09And I'm determined to be the best lead judge
00:31:12The show has ever had
00:31:13Even if that means your friend, Bella Fox, is out
00:31:17I didn't want to hurt Bella
00:31:19It's just business
00:31:20I do miss her
00:31:22Well, what would you say to Bella
00:31:24If she were here today?
00:31:25Look right in that camera
00:31:26I'd say come back to your Dan Steps family, Bella
00:31:29I miss you at the table
00:31:31And what would you say to her, Ben?
00:31:34Bella
00:31:35Take the break you need
00:31:37Dance every day
00:31:39Find what it is that truly makes you happy
00:31:42Then when you do
00:31:43Come back to us
00:31:45We 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
00:31:55Oh, come on
00:31:58All right, everyone
00:32:05You're doing great
00:32:06I'm so happy with all your hard work
00:32:09Sorry, sorry
00:32:12The work
00:32:13Sorry
00:32:14Bella and I have made our decisions about the competition
00:32:18George and Liz
00:32:21You have the most beautiful waltz I've seen this year
00:32:24Share that with the world
00:32:26Marcus and Maureen, you're a pair
00:32:29Hannah, I just found out I might have to work the day of the competition
00:32:33I'm going to try not to
00:32:35But 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
00:32:40They might have me work the night shift
00:32:42Okay, well, Bella might be able to fill in for Maureen
00:32:45Andre, can you practice with Maureen as well
00:32:48Just 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
00:32:52Everyone else, you can find your names outside on the list
00:32:56You all have a place to have fun at the snowball
00:32:59Hi
00:33:01Congratulations
00:33:03Okay, well, we're still covered
00:33:08We have strong dancers in all the big three events
00:33:10Oh, a win would really help with enrollment
00:33:13So we just need to drill down on all of those dances
00:33:15Okay?
00:33:16Fine
00:33:16I've got you covered
00:33:17Okay
00:33:17Thank you
00:33:18We'll be good
00:33:19Well
00:33:19Really?
00:33:24It's pretty great?
00:33:25Definitely
00:33:25But 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
00:33:31Raise it up
00:33:33Oh, I didn't know what I was getting into
00:33:36No, you didn't
00:33:37All right

00:35:27You're part of the dance community, Will
00:35:30Community helps community
00:35:32Oh

00:35:52I'm sorry, I hope I'm not interrupting
00:35:56No, we're just relaxing
00:35:58I was trying to find something to watch on TV
00:36:00But here, find us something
00:36:02I can't believe they have racing on this late in the day
00:36:09It's the old we play
00:36:10A great race
00:36:11I love watching my friends drive
00:36:13We text between race
00:36:16Talk sometimes
00:36:17I'm not on the team anymore
00:36:20But
00:36:20Still my team, you know
00:36:22Yeah
00:36:22Kind of like that in dancing too
00:36:25Yep
00:36:26Mm-hmm
00:36:26Yeah
00:36:28I can't believe how much fun that was watching racing
00:36:44Yeah
00:36:45And team captain here
00:36:47You must miss it
00:36:48Yeah
00:36:49These are dedicated people, you know
00:36:52You don't go far in the field if you're not passionate
00:36:54Driven, you mean
00:36:56Touche
00:36:58What about you?
00:37:00Why did you stop competing?
00:37:02You don't have to tell me
00:37:03It'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
00:37:11Kind of like a TV legend
00:37:12Yeah
00:37:13And, um, to be honest
00:37:14Ben and I
00:37:15We were just sick of traveling
00:37:16Makes sense
00:37:17Why not TV?
00:37:19I bet the camera loved you
00:37:20Right from your first audition
00:37:22No
00:37:23I was so nervous
00:37:25Of course
00:37:25You're out of your comfort zone
00:37:28You're not on the dancing floor anymore
00:37:30I hope you never look back
00:37:33You're really good at what you do
00:37:35Let's watch another race
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?
00:38:02Very funny
00:38:03I'm off to the studio
00:38:05To do new choreography
00:38:06For your snowball competition
00:38:08Oh, yeah
00:38:09Cheers to that
00:38:11Right behind you
00:38:14Just finishing my coffee
00:38:15Hey, jingle bells
00:38:27Jingle bells
00:38:28Jingle bells
00:38:29Jingle all the way
00:38:31All the fun is to ride
00:38:50Oh, yeah, Hannah, I'll see you at the 10 o'clock class
00:39:16Okay, bye
00:39:16Oh, Will
00:39:18I didn't expect to see you here so early
00:39:20Ah, my breakfast meeting got cancelled
00:39:22So, uh, I thought I'd drop by
00:39:24Help, it's okay
00:39:24Yeah, of course it's okay
00:39:26We love having you here
00:39:27You know, I love to come here
00:39:28And relax
00:39:29Decompressed
00:39:32Decompressed
00:39:35Okay, got it
00:39:36You saw me
00:39:37Saw you what?
00:39:41I normally like when people cannot lie
00:39:42But today
00:39:43I would not mind if you didn't see that humiliating display of I don't know what it was
00:39:47Humiliating?
00:39:49More like pure joy
00:39:50I've seen a lot of dancing
00:39:52And you are amazing
00:39:55Really?
00:39:57Mm-hmm
00:39:58Okay, question
00:39:58Yeah
00:39:59Answer honestly
00:40:00Sure
00:40:00Do you enjoy dancing?
00:40:04I guess so
00:40:06I saw you
00:40:08I know you love it
00:40:10Yeah
00:40:11Yes, I do love dancing
00:40:13But when I was 12 years old
00:40:15I gathered all the courage in the world to ask a girl to dance with me at school
00:40:18All 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
00:40:27So for me, that was it
00:40:28Oh, well, kids can be so mean
00:40:30Yeah, 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
00:40:45Well
00:40:46Dance with me
00:40:47I'm
00:40:47I'll leave, don't worry
00:40:48Thank you
00:40:49I'm ready
00:40:50So we're gonna go forward
00:40:51One, two, three
00:40:54Look at us, we'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
00:41:04You're a natural
00:41:05Wow, you have to have a best teacher
00:41:09What?
00:41:13You doing it?
00:41:15One, two, three
00:41:17You're looking so good
00:41:21Everyone's doing such a great job
00:41:23Fantastic
00:41:24All right, that's it for today
00:41:26Remember to hydrate
00:41:28So, so
00:41:35How's the search for a partner going?
00:41:38What?
00:41:39You need a dance partner
00:41:41For the snowball
00:41:42Well, I may have found myself a ringer
00:41:46You don't say
00:41:48Well, it's early days
00:41:50But, um, we seem to be in step
00:41:52Well, that's how all the best dances start
00:41:56One foot in front of the other
00:41:58Your secret admirer?
00:42:05No, Darla
00:42:06My old life calling
00:42:08You know what?
00:42:11I need to face this
00:42:12Right now
00:42:14All right
00:42:17Well, that's almost it for our show today
00:42:20But before we go
00:42:21I have a last-minute surprise
00:42:22A surprise you've been waiting for, Dance Watchers
00:42:25Just like I have
00:42:26Right now, Bella Fox is joining us from the East Coast
00:42:29And we'll see where she is on the forgiveness spectrum
00:42:32Hello, Bella
00:42:33Hi, Simon
00:42:35Oh, I can hear from your voice
00:42:37That you're in pain from this career sabotage
00:42:39Well, I'm not gonna lie
00:42:41It was a difficult night
00:42:42And you had no idea the show wanted to make changes
00:42:45I had no idea
00:42:46And it hurt more than it needed to
00:42:48Because it was so public
00:42:50And I was embarrassed
00:42:51Well, with friends like Antonia and Ben
00:42:53Who needs enemies, right?
00:42:55What would you like to say to your former friends
00:42:58And current judges?
00:43:00I'd have to say
00:43:01Thank you
00:43:02Excuse me?
00:43:03Oh, 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
00:43:11And I'm happy
00:43:13Ooh, any connections in particular?
00:43:15Well, it's too soon
00:43:17But if you love dance
00:43:18Make sure you check out this year's Snowball
00:43:20And keep on dancing
00:43:21Bye
00:43:22Bye
00:43:23Yes
00:43:24You're amazing, Bella
00:43:25You caught them all by surprise
00:43:36Me too
00:43:38It's so much fun having you here
00:43:40I'm glad I'm here too
00:43:41I love being on holiday
00:43:43Maybe this gives you some time to step back
00:43:46And really think about if television is what you want to be doing
00:43:49I need real
00:43:51A real Christmas
00:43:52With a real friend
00:43:55I got you, girlfriend
00:43:56Yeah
00:43:56Anyways, 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
00:44:04It's Christmas time and the snow is falling
00:44:08It's Christmas time and the shops are calling
00:44:10No
00:44:12Gift wrapping
00:44:14Bring it
00:44:16Please think seriously about staying
00:44:19Well, I'm not going anywhere soon
00:44:21Plus, you haven't told me what you want Santa to bring you for Christmas
00:44:25Will Santa convince you to stay?
00:44:28How about we just go last minute Christmas shopping?
00:44:31Yes
00:44:32Okay
00:44:35Hello
00:44:37Bella, hey
00:44:39Uh, thanks for picking up
00:44:41Hi, Benjamin
00:44:42Benjamin
00:44:43Wow, you never call me that
00:44:45Aren't you filming promos today?
00:44:48Yeah, Darla scheduled some blackout days
00:44:50Things are not going good here, Bella
00:44:52It's really not the same without you
00:44:54Yeah, right
00:44:55Right
00:44:57Okay, um
00:44:59Look
00:45:00I'm really sorry about the way that things happened
00:45:03And this with Simon Lamont
00:45:05You were so nice
00:45:06So Antonia and I
00:45:07You put on that brave face
00:45:09Just so the audience wouldn't hate us
00:45:10Yeah, 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
00:45:25But you are coming back to the show, right?
00:45:29I don't know, Ben
00:45:29I don't know
00:45:31Look, we need you here, Bella
00:45:33We're having a meeting tomorrow
00:45:36Hey, so forward
00:45:41Good
00:45:43All right, now you're going to turn me
00:45:45Good one
00:45:46Hey, um
00:45:47Are you sure you locked the door?
00:45:48I don't want anybody to see my moves
00:45:50Please
00:45:51Yes, I locked the door
00:45:52Hannah has a key
00:45:54And she's at the movies
00:45:55So don't worry
00:45:56Thank you
00:45:57Okay
00:45:58I trust you
00:45:59Hey, by the way
00:46:00I saw you on the Simon Lamont show
00:46:02I meant to ask you
00:46:03Sorry, my phone just went off
00:46:05Just give me a second
00:46:06Sure, sure
00:46:06I'm so sorry
00:46:10Can you give me a minute?
00:46:11It's the show
00:46:12And I should really take it
00:46:13Sure, sure
00:46:15Okay
00:46:16Okay, so how was the meeting?
00:46:18Ah
00:46:19Nobody can agree on what to do
00:46:21Please tell me you're coming back soon
00:46:23So snowy here
00:46:25It's like real Christmas
00:46:26You know that people actually move to LA
00:46:29So they don't have to deal with winter, right?
00:46:31I don't know if that's right for me anymore
00:46:33And actually
00:46:37I think I may have met someone here
00:46:41I haven't felt this way in such a long time
00:46:46Oh, really?
00:46:47I'm very happy for you
00:46:49What's a lucky fella's name?
00:46:51Will Jones
00:46:52Hey, can I ask you something?
00:46:55Yeah, sure
00:46:55Did I seem happy on the show?
00:46:58You 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
00:47:05But I just
00:47:05I don't really know how I feel anymore
00:47:08For me, I just know the show is where I'm meant to be
00:47:12Maybe I'm just fighting for something that I
00:47:15I don't really want
00:47:17Remember when I was about 10 years old
00:47:21And I used to watch all the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies?
00:47:25Yes, I remember
00:47:26And I'd be there for hours
00:47:28In 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
00:47:35Well, even to this day
00:47:39Every 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
00:47:47Wow
00:47:49That's amazing
00:47:51You don't feel the same way
00:47:52Not a lot of us tonight
00:48:10Okay, not to panic
00:48:13I'm sure it's just the snowy weather
00:48:16Hey, I'm sure they're just shoveling up
00:48:21I hope so
00:48:21Okay, let's get started
00:48:26Thanks 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
00:48:44Are you jealous?
00:48:47No, um
00:48:48I-I just love spending time with you
00:48:52I-I love spending time with you too
00:48:55Oh my goodness
00:49:04What is this place?
00:49:05It's huge
00:49:06It's like a ballroom
00:49:07Wow
00:49:10Okay
00:49:12It may sound crazy
00:49:14Too soon or whatever people think
00:49:16But just hear me out
00:49:17If I've ever learned anything in life
00:49:20It's to follow my instincts
00:49:21And
00:49:21Bella
00:49:24I'm head over heels for you
00:49:28You must know that
00:49:29My life makes sense when I'm around you
00:49:32Don't go back to Los Angeles
00:49:35You stay here
00:49:36I can buy this
00:49:37You and Hannah can-can expand the studio finally
00:49:39More kids can fall in love with ballroom
00:49:42And those Saturday night dances that you both dreamed about
00:49:45It's all here
00:49:46Will, I-I don't know what to say
00:49:52Say that you stay
00:49:55I need time to think
00:49:56Of the show and Ben
00:49:59Ben?
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
00:50:09I still have feelings for him
00:50:13No
00:50:14He's like a brother
00:50:15And you don't just get rid of old feelings for new ones
00:50:20You make room
00:50:22Like
00:50:24Like this beautiful room
00:50:26Yeah
00:50:32Will, 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?
00:51:02Darla, why is Pierre B. the third judge in the new poster?
00:51:10It's just an experiment
00:51:12The 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
00:51:19She tried to talk them out of it
00:51:21They want to capitalize on Simon LeMond's interview
00:51:25Well, I still have a contract
00:51:28Well, they think you quit
00:51:29You're all the way on the other side of the country
00:51:32And it's actually your job
00:51:33You're playing with my life
00:51:35Just to increase audience viewers?
00:51:38I 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
00:51:46We did seven minutes of promo
00:51:48And they're doing well with the audience
00:51:50You said you'd wait till after Christmas
00:51:53Nobody can replace you
00:51:55We're just going along with the press wave
00:51:58Until the next episode
00:51:59Well, give me something
00:52:01What's going on up there?
00:52:03You got anything for me to spend?
00:52:06I'm spending time with old friends
00:52:07I'm getting back into competitive dancing
00:52:10Oh, that's good, Bella
00:52:11I'll tell the press that you're happy
00:52:13Am I happy?
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:19Thank you, everyone, for coming
00:52:25I know it's been a crazy week
00:52:27Oh
00:52:28Uh, just everyone keep warming up
00:52:33That's great
00:52:34I gotta take this
00:52:35What?
00:52:36Oh, okay, okay
00:52:46Yes, thank you
00:52:51Miss Kyle, what's wrong?
00:52:54Are you okay?
00:52:57Yeah, I'm fine
00:52:58It's Andre
00:52:59What happened?
00:53:01He hit some ice
00:53:02And he's had an accident
00:53:04Is he gonna be all right?
00:53:07I don't know any details yet
00:53:08But he's in the hospital
00:53:10You know what?
00:53:11Class is cancelled
00:53:12Let's go see Andre
00:53:13I wish
00:53:17Bella, we need to talk
00:53:24Bad news
00:53:25The thing is
00:53:26The marketing with Pierre, Ben and Antonia
00:53:29Is hitting its stride
00:53:31Their social numbers are climbing
00:53:33Well, that's good news, right?
00:53:36Yeah
00:53:36But we still want you in the third chair
00:53:38And the more Pierre star rises
00:53:41Then the more our fickle fans forget about you
00:53:45I get it
00:53:47You need me to come back to L.A.
00:53:50Bottom 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?
00:53:59Not even three will be enough
00:54:00What happened?
00:54:03I have to go back to the show
00:54:04Well, not before Christmas, though, right?
00:54:07I have to do the finale
00:54:08Dala thought she could push it to next year
00:54:10But then the executive producers
00:54:11Wanted to hire another judge
00:54:13I get it
00:54:15You have to go back and fight for your job
00:54:17I don't like it
00:54:20But
00:54:20I get it
00:54:22Well, right now, I'm the one
00:54:23That's not keeping up the end of the deal
00:54:24Especially with the dancers
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
00:54:37Will cares, too, you know
00:54:40Oh, Hannah
00:54:41Will showed me the most amazing space
00:54:44You could grow your studio
00:54:45Really?
00:54:46Yeah
00:54:46Oh, you could be my business partner
00:54:48Like we talked about all those years ago
00:54:50In Miss Bernadette's class
00:54:51I need time
00:54:52Will doesn't know how long the studio will be for sale
00:54:55And 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
00:55:02This problem isn't going to fix itself
00:55:06I have to tell you something
00:55:22Oh
00:55:23This is why I hear
00:55:24It's 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
00:55:34That a big negative is coming
00:55:36But
00:55:37You don't think I'm such a great dancer
00:55:39Oh, but
00:55:42You're breaking up with me
00:55:43I have to go home
00:55:45I have to salvage what's left of my career
00:55:47Oh, well
00:55:47It's only on the other side of the country
00:55:49I've worked so hard for my career
00:55:53I just can't let it go
00:55:56But
00:55:58You can let me go
00:56:15Anna
00:56:17She's really gone, huh?
00:56:19Yeah, she is
00:56:21She's not coming back
00:56:22Not for a long time
00:56:25Especially after what I said
00:56:27I just walked out
00:56:28What an idiot
00:56:30Oh, great
00:56:37What?
00:56:37What's up?
00:56:39Maureen is 75% sure she has to work now
00:56:43And Marcus is 50-50
00:56:45Oh
00:56:46Andre is out
00:56:48Which means
00:56:49I don't have enough strong dancers
00:56:50For the big three events
00:56:52Though you can still win the two events, right?
00:56:55Sure, but
00:56:56Bragging rights for the snowball
00:56:58Is all about the big three
00:56:59Just feeling for Maureen
00:57:01I-I can't
00:57:03I'm not allowed to compete
00:57:04Because I'm the studio owner
00:57:06Oh
00:57:07Too bad you ain't dancing so much
00:57:09Also
00:57:12You're not a girl
00:57:13Don't worry
00:57:15I'm sure you've found a way
00:57:17To up the reputation of this school
00:57:18Thanks
00:57:20Plus we can still go have fun, right?
00:57:24All right
00:57:25Let's go see Andre
00:57:26Everyone needs some company
00:57:28When they're in the hospital
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:30I will go and meet you there
00:57:31I got a very expensive date
00:57:33With an electrician
00:57:34Another one?
00:57:36Third date
00:57:36And counting
00:57:37He really likes you
00:57:38He adores me
00:57:40Live from studio five
00:58:03It's the Dance Steps Showdown
00:58:05Here to get us in the holiday spirit
00:58:08It's our own Bella Fox
00:58:10And Ben Sparks
00:58:12Thank you
00:58:16Thank you all so much
00:58:17I'm so grateful for your love and support
00:58:21It really means a lot
00:58:22I'm not gonna lie
00:58:24It was a very difficult time
00:58:25I mean you don't grow up dreaming of being humiliated on live TV
00:58:29I've realised in life the most important thing
00:58:34Is to be honest with yourself and others
00:58:36I'm so happy to be back here at the finale
00:58:41With all the performers
00:58:42Ben
00:58:43And even Antonio
00:58:45Well that was exhausting
00:59:02How was the first day back?
00:59:11I had a big love fest with all the fans
00:59:13Congratulations
00:59:14I'm glad the show went well
00:59:17Do you want to know who won?
00:59:18I'll just check it out on the morning show tomorrow
00:59:21Listen, I gotta run
00:59:24I just
00:59:24I wanted to check in and make sure you're okay
00:59:26Thanks, I'm okay
00:59:28Oh Hannah, I'm sorry I had to leave
00:59:32I hope you can still compete in Snowball
00:59:34Me too
00:59:35I'm working on it
00:59:37I better go
00:59:39The Snowball waits for no dancer
00:59:42It does not
00:59:43I'll talk to you later
00:59:45Yeah
00:59:45Hey gorgeous
01:00:06Hi
01:00:07Hi Bella
01:00:10It's so good to see you
01:00:12Well that TV hug was not our actual reunion
01:00:15Oh no, we need to talk
01:00:17No, we need to celebrate
01:00:19Like we used to on the road during the holidays
01:00:22Excuse me, can we get some champagne over here please?
01:00:26Just two glasses, thanks
01:00:27It's so good to have you back, Bella
01:00:29It's great to see you two, really
01:00:31It's so great to see you
01:00:33Pierre was so extra with the promos
01:00:35I cannot imagine doing a full show
01:00:37Well if you're saying he's extra
01:00:38Then he must have been really over the top
01:00:40What are you saying, Bella?
01:00:43It's just a joke, sweetie
01:00:45Don't worry
01:00:45Yes, you know, we're all over the top
01:00:47When 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
01:00:52Who's the new mystery man?
01:00:55Well, his name is Will
01:00:57And uh
01:00:58He's actually amazing
01:01:00He's smart, he's fun
01:01:04Here
01:01:05Oh, good looking
01:01:09Uh-huh
01:01:09It's a good Kenny dance
01:01:14Well, he's not a dancer
01:01:15But um
01:01:16He does love to dance
01:01:18So, when's he moving down?
01:01:22Well, he's not
01:01:23That's fine
01:01:24You're going to be way too busy for any romance
01:01:27I don't know if the production team told you yet
01:01:31But
01:01:31It looks like the lead judge position's yours after all
01:01:35You fought for me?
01:01:36You actually had my back?
01:01:40Ben?
01:01:41What is it?
01:01:42Uh
01:01:42Antonia, honey
01:01:44Maybe
01:01:44Maybe this isn't the right time
01:01:46To be doing this
01:01:47Just tell her
01:01:49Remember when Antonia and I
01:01:53Went away to that resort
01:01:55Over Labor Day weekend?
01:01:56Yeah, you got engaged
01:01:57Actually, we eloped
01:02:00Okay
01:02:02And now
01:02:04Antonia's expecting
01:02:05Oh
01:02:06Congratulations
01:02:08The show only wants you back
01:02:12Because they don't want to have to find somebody
01:02:13When she goes away on maternity leave
01:02:15Oh
01:02:16So
01:02:19So it's mine by default
01:02:21You're back
01:02:23That's all that matters, right?
01:02:24Okay
01:02:25Look, I'm happy for you
01:02:26But how am I just hearing about this consolation prize right now
01:02:29Bella
01:02:30We haven't released this news to the public yet
01:02:32Stop it, Antonia
01:02:33She has a right to bend
01:02:35Okay, I'm not going to make a fool of myself again
01:02:37Over your orchestrated drama
01:02:39Okay
01:02:39Congratulations
01:02:40Congratulations
01:02:41And Merry Christmas
01:02:43Merry Christmas
01:02:43Yeah
01:02:44I really am happy for you
01:02:52Thanks, Bella
01:02:52Yeah
01:02:53You know
01:02:55I 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
01:03:04I spent the last week with people who really care
01:03:10Like real people
01:03:12What, this real guy you just met like a hot minute ago
01:03:16Yeah
01:03:16And why do you care so much about her new boyfriend?
01:03:19Okay, I'm going to leave you to play happy families
01:03:21I'm going to go and be the person that I'm actually meant to be
01:03:25So
01:03:25I'm happy for you
01:03:30Merry Christmas
01:03:32Bye
01:03:33All right
01:03:43Snowball is almost here
01:03:46Stop
01:03:50Everybody stop right where you are
01:03:52Bella
01:03:54We're all here
01:03:57Wow, you all look so great
01:03:59I miss you so much
01:04:01Aw, we miss you too, Bella
01:04:02Two more days into the big night
01:04:04The Snowball Competition
01:04:05You feeling ready?
01:04:07Well, as 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
01:04:16And really work together as a team
01:04:17Aw, thank you, Bella
01:04:19But for today
01:04:20We are all here practicing the rough patches
01:04:22In each of our dances
01:04:23I have blisters
01:04:25But I also have bandages
01:04:27Thank you, Marcus
01:04:29Let's just work until we get it right
01:04:31Yeah
01:04:32Done
01:04:32Bye, Bella
01:04:34I'll call you later
01:04:35Bye, good luck

01:04:59¶¶
01:05:28Thanks for getting lunch, Will. Smells 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?
01:05:56Seriously, thanks for helping me out at home.
01:05:59What's my neighbor at all for?
01:06:14Hey, man, what's wrong?
01:06:16Nothing.
01:06:19What happened with Bella?
01:06:20Oh, 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?
01:06:35I, 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,
01:06:43and then you didn't talk with her again?
01:06:44Yeah, kind of, yeah.
01:06:50If you were still racing, and Bella told you to choose between the track or her, what would you do?
01:06:55It's the impossible choice, man.
01:06:57Both of them are important to me.
01:06:59Right.
01:07:00So?
01:07:04Yeah.
01:07:06Compromised.
01:07:06You try to make it work.
01:07:09Ain't gonna be easy, but, yeah, we can do that.
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:16Exactly.
01:07:17Don't you think you should talk with her?
01:07:22I 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.
01:07:39To sum up, the producers and I are thrilled to announce that our Dance Steps International formats
01:07:44will be launching in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and the UK, all this coming fall.
01:07:49It's Dance Steps everywhere.
01:07:54Thank 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.
01:08:11You 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.
01:08:18What about your heart?
01:08:20I'm okay.
01:08:21Oh, 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.
01:08:28Well, 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 fiancé.
01:08:51Okay, that is the Christmas spirit.
01:08:55Merry Christmas to me.
01:09:00There 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 on your own.
01:09:20No, Darla, no.
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, Juwet?
01:09:39No.
01:09:40Just don't forget, your holiday sit-down with Simon, 9.45.
01:09:44Sure.
01:09:52Well, 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 about her personal relationships with Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker.
01:10:10At the Dance Steps showdown finale, she was back in the lead judge's chair.
01:10:15Please welcome Bella Fox.
01:10:17Oh, you're gorgeous.
01:10:20Oh, give us a twirl.
01:10:21Yes.
01:10:23Please have a seat.
01:10:25Welcome, welcome.
01:10:27Bella, 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, 10 years, I think.
01:10:38But, um, Antonia stepped right over you into a very nice promotion, I might add.
01:10:43And Ben Sparks did not take you along on his international successes.
01:10:48But here's what I think.
01:10:49If these baby rumors are true, you're going to win the consolation prize and be right back in that lead judge's chair in no time.
01:10:57Well, I can't really comment on that, but if Ben and Antonia are expecting, I'd be truly happy for them.
01:11:03Hmm.
01:11:05Everyone deserves to be happy.
01:11:07Well, that's true.
01:11:07And I think, you know, sometimes in our line of work, we 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, where you can really open up and talk about how it felt when 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.
01:11:38There you have it.
01:11:39Ben Sparks and Antonia Baker are expecting.
01:11:43Wow.
01:11:44That is fantastic.
01:11:45All I can really say is that Ben and Antonia are exactly where they're supposed to be, with each other.
01:11:56Oh, that's great.
01:11:57Wait, what are you doing?
01:11:58Los Angeles, you've been so great to me, but I've got a snowball trophy to win.
01:12:09We're going to go to commercial.
01:12:13What the...
01:12:15What 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, to talk you out of it.
01:12:23There's nothing to talk about.
01:12:24I'm celebrating Christmas upstate New York with 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 that you snapped because of all the emotions swirling around.
01:12:35I'll get the crew working on that promo now.
01:12:38Did you hear what I said?
01:12:39What do you think?
01:12:4015 second bits, 20 maybe?
01:12:42Do you have a better spin?
01:12:43I need a headline.
01:12:45Bella Fox leaves Dance Steps to pursue her true passion, her true friends, and her true love.
01:12:52That is a terrible pitch.
01:12:54We don't have it in the budget to follow you to New York.
01:12:58Darla.
01:12:58We had a great run.
01:13:04Bella!
01:13:04Bella!
01:13:04Bella!
01:13:05Bella!
01:13:17Bella!
01:13:19Bella!
01:13:51Marcus, you made it!
01:14:11Take some deep breaths. I've never seen it this nervous before.
01:14:14Have you seen Andre and Maureen?
01:14:16They promised they'd be here.
01:14:19Maybe the car broke down.
01:14:20I'm sure they're fine. It's Christmas Eve. There's a ton of traffic.
01:14:23I'm sure you're right. Just...
01:14:25I really want them to see me dance.
01:14:27To show them my hard work.

01:14:51Hannah, are you still here?
01:14:54Hannah...
01:14:55We came back.
01:14:58Yeah.
01:14:59Didn't you see me on the morning show?
01:15:01No, I was a little bit in the dark.
01:15:04Literally.
01:15:05Did you miss me?
01:15:12Of course I missed you.
01:15:14But what are you doing here in the studio?
01:15:16I came back to see if Hannah was still here.
01:15:18No, she went to the snowball.
01:15:20Well, what are we still doing here? Come on, let's go home.
01:15:23Let's go, baby.
01:15:29Just smile and have fun, okay?
01:15:32Just don't tell the judges we don't have enough participants.
01:15:35Let's go.
01:16:05And heaven and heaven and nature sing.
01:16:17Joy to the world, the Savior reigns.
01:16:22Let men their songs employ.
01:16:27While fields and floods.
01:16:33Repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:36Repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:39Repeat the sounding, the sounding joy.
01:16:44Thank you, everybody.
01:16:49And in first place for the jive, it's Hannah Kyle School of Dance.
01:17:02Congratulations.
01:17:03Yes, well done.
01:17:04You so deserve to win.
01:17:05You came.
01:17:06Oh, I should never have left.
01:17:07This is home.
01:17:08I see Will is here.
01:17:09Do you have anything you want to share?
01:17:11Let's unpack that later.
01:17:12Wait, are you going to stay and be my partner for the studio?
01:17:13Please say yes.
01:17:14Oh, Santa bring me a yes.
01:17:15Yes.
01:17:16I'm finally ready to put down some roots.
01:17:17Oh, salsa time.
01:17:18Uh, Reba, can you go on with Marcus?
01:17:19Maureen's not here.
01:17:20It'd be great.
01:17:22Okay.
01:17:23Hey, go ahead.
01:17:24How are you going to go on with Marcus?
01:17:25I'm going to go on.
01:17:26Uh, Reba, can you go on with Marcus?
01:17:27Maureen's not here.
01:17:29It'd be great.
01:17:30Ha, ha.
01:17:31Well, come on.
01:17:32Oh, Santa, Santa, I'm ready to put down some roots.
01:17:35Oh, salsa time.
01:17:37Uh, Reba, can you go on with Marcus?
01:17:40Maureen's not here.
01:17:42It'd be great.
01:17:45Ha, ha.
01:17:46Santa, Santa, I already feel so lucky, stuck in a blizzard of snow, my baby and me all alone.
01:17:55It's the holidays, and you're here with me, dancing circles and I go and see you all.
01:18:05Ugly sweats her face, and matching bidets, drunk in love and sleeping in all day.
01:18:14Being in love with you is like a dream come true, don't need my presence to hold, just to rock up in a bowl.
01:18:24Santa, Santa, I already feel so lucky, still feeling so magical, having you in some love.
01:18:33And thank you dancers.
01:18:35And the winner of the salsa is Hanna Kyle, School of Dance.
01:18:54Okay, we're still kind of a dancer short.
01:18:56Kind of?
01:18:58Fine, I'm two dancers short, and we need to win the last dance to win the big three.
01:19:02Yeah, that would be amazing.
01:19:04I know, but I don't have a couple that can place high enough to win a trophy in the waltz.
01:19:09Well, what happened to Andre?
01:19:11Oh, he's recovering from an accident.
01:19:13Uh-oh.
01:19:13Bike accident.
01:19:14No, he's fine, he's fine.
01:19:16Well, it looks like Bella and I can be your assistants.
01:19:19Very funny, Will.
01:19:22Hanna, give him a chance.
01:19:27Do I have a choice?
01:19:29Okay, Will, suit up.
01:19:30We got you.
01:19:32Thank you, Bella.
