Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments once again. I have a lot of thoughts about Monday's show, so let's get right down to it.
First of all, I thought I was in the Twilight Zone because I didn't understand what was happening and what was going on with the results. Don't get me wrong. I love everybody there, but the judges were not making any sense at all and that bothered me.
With all due respect, Len, Bruno and Carrie Ann are great. I love them. They all bring a unique character to the show and known worldwide for it, but they are being looked to for expert opinion on dancing and nobody wants to see them ...

Hi everyone,
Hope you had a great Halloween! Thanks for your comments again. I'm finding that more and more people are getting educated about dance — not just from me — and I love it.
The Taylor Swift performance last week was fun. I don't know how our outfits translated on-screen, but in reality, we were being laughed at. I love those kinds of costumes though. I did it for Halloween and a few years ago, I went to a friend's birthday party and it was a ...

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments once again! I just finished camera-blocking for the results show. As you may have heard, I'm dancing during a Taylor Swift number. The routine is great. It's one of those really fun numbers. Jonathan and Anna choreographed it. It's very ballroom-y. We're having a great time with it. We're dancing up on the balcony and all that. It's a younger generation-type song, so we're really enjoying ourselves.
It's nice to be back in L.A. As I said in my last entry, I went home for a few days. I had an amazing time in New York. I surprised everybody when I was home. My manager thought she had an appointment for me with somebody ...

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a great week. Thanks for your comments about the Michael Jackson dance! I had a blast doing it. To do it in front of his mother and most of his family was the most amazing thing I could've ever done in my life. I've gotten to do so many things in the past five years that would make me say, "I can die right now and I'm good to go," and then something else comes up and something else comes up. It's quite incredible.
The performance was pre-taped because it was such a big production and the whole cast was involved. We taped it about 15 minutes ...

Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed my Argentine tango with Joanna. It was a lot of fun! Right now, I'm rehearsing for the Michael Jackson tribute on the results show. It's going well. There are a lot of people and we're getting through it and getting a lot of things done. It's going to be a fun dance and a fun experience.
As I said last time, the tribute will be three numbers. Derek and Mark choreographed the first, I choreographed the second and we kind of all choreographed the third one under Cheryl's tutelage. Everybody is stepping in for the third number, which will a big thing. A bunch of Jacksons are going to be there and at the risk of sounding cocky — like Maks! — I'm not nervous. Just kidding! I just want to do a good job. I'm having a ...
