Transcript
00:00The thing is that one always feels one is in safe hands with one's partner but then again
00:08the partners, the professionals, have never done anything like this either. Although actually in
00:13a competition situation you would, wouldn't it? Absolutely. But at least you know the dance you're
00:18dancing. So it's, we had a trial run today which was chaos really, wasn't it? It was vast, chaotic. Not murder on the dance floor but chaos on the dance floor.
00:37I mean it's brutal I think, I just think it's brutal. Yeah. Well I do, I do feel for the contestants, you know, it's enough that they have a
00:48dance to get through, let alone remember four. It's actually a great test. At this stage of the competition we're on to week 10, right? You have
00:58learned quite a few dances, you have learned a lot of technique, you've gained confidence. So this is kind of a nice test for our
01:05celebrities to see what they've learned and can they perform like the real dancers because that's what we do in a competition
01:13world. We just turn up, there's a song, you go and dance from everything you've learned, so. Yeah but we've been learning for 10 weeks.
01:21You learned for 20, 30 years.
01:24But I think it'll be fun and look, it's only, I think it is meant to be fun as well and we've kind of
01:31had a little look over some of the dances, some of the styles, the little dance breaks within it. So hopefully we can kind of
01:38do a bit of dancing. We have our favourites, some of the dances come more naturally and they're fun and some we're like
01:49I think it'll be exciting. I think we actually have, we actually have quite contrasting views. I think Bal's a little bit
01:57nervous about it, whereas I'm so up for the chaos. Like I think it will be so much fun. Limitless. We practised it, like we did a
02:05little practice just, you know, in the studio and it was absolute carnage. I was like, run to me! Push me away! Run away! Spin!
02:15We have all these little code words for all these little like lifts and tricks and, but do you know what, it's only 40 seconds.
02:23So I think just have so much fun with it and it will go like that. If you stress, it will feel like a minute and a half.
02:28I mean, I'm nervous because it's not something that we've rehearsed, even though we've done it before.
02:34We haven't like spent, you know, yes, we have spent time learning it, but we haven't spent time learning it.
02:40We've created little game plans for it, but it's not like we've, you know, made little plans of situations and if we get this dance, this is what we'll do.
02:47But it's not like we haven't spent a whole day rehearsing it.
02:50Exactly.
