00:00Toughen up Julia. So we had practiced these lifts and I and I was like so
00:03proud that we got to do them and then all of a sudden my rib pops and and I
00:07and it was a bit touch and go like we didn't actually do the lifts really at
00:10all until yesterday right so hey we did it. So we put our final touches of our
00:15routine literally yesterday and we just I wanted to make sure her rib was okay
00:19and I told her I was like I don't care if we got take the tricks out I just
00:23want to make sure that you're comfortable on the ballroom floor and
00:25like by the graces of the dance gods we're able to do those tricks tonight.
00:30And it's also not even like first of all I also know that like everybody's
00:33dealing with their own stuff and and dancers deal with pain all the time so
00:36I was like toughen up Julia but it inhibits your movement too so it wasn't
00:40even the lifts I was like I can't move my I can't do the body rolls the way I know
00:43normally I can and so anyway ha ha. She also is a tough cookie so the fact that
00:50she was going through that she was like she didn't want people to know and like
00:54knowing her too she's so hard like I knew something was up because I heard a pop
00:59and she's like I'm not okay and she hurts to breathe and I'm like okay this is
01:02serious because she does not like whenever she's hurting she doesn't say
01:05anything she's a really tough cookie.
