‘You just have to grind through it’
We left the apartment and put in a long day. By now you've probably seen some of the pre-packaged segments they film with all the different celebrities that don't have anything to do being in the practice studio.
Well, because Chelsie and I are doing the Pasodobles we went and got around some bulls. I guess, we'll have to wait and see how that works out with the show.
We did that until about noon, grabbed a quick lunch and then went straight to the studio. We probably got in about six or seven hours of practice and, like I know by now, it always takes a big step backward when you start going through the technique.
It's so funny when you watch somebody that can do this kind of dance. It looks simple, it looks effortless, it looks easy and it looks like all you have to do is look tough and strong, but there's a heck of a lot more to it than that.
A lot of it is really unnatural.
But it's just how the process goes. The second day is always a long, frustrating day with a lot of sweat and work, but you just have to grind through it. It does get better, but it's hard to tell when you're the one in the studio grinding it out for seven hours.
The progress is so slow that you don't feel it getting any better. It just comes a little bit at a time, but I think we're in pretty good shape. We still have three full days ahead of us.
This song has what they call dynamics, which means you'll hear it speed up and slow down and then almost stop. The pace of it changes a lot and, for me, that takes a little bit of getting used to. There's still a count and it doesn't change like the music--it stays the same.
Chelsie has taught me that the dynamics of the song is what makes the routine more interesting to watch.
We busted our butt and I'm sure that with a good night's sleep that it will be better tomorrow. It usually turns out where you see the big leap of improvement the next day. For whatever reason, it always seems like it takes a night for it all to sink in.

DWTS - week 4 “lindy hop”
Hey everyone ~ Well another week under my belt. What can i say, except i survived. Survived all of the media, survived all of the crazy stuff going on and survived the elimination round. All i can say is thank you thank you thank you for all of the votes and support. my next dance is the Vienese Waltz, Mark explained that it’s like the Waltz except faster. i’m learning it right now and having lots of fun with it. Mark and i have had the giggles alot here lately, maybe it’s just relief that things are kind of back to normal. It seems like i get the giggles alot when i’m learning new dances, he call it the “Iowa giggles”. I’m so lucky to have Mark for a partner, he lets me just be me. i’m going to the Hannah Montana premiere tonight, very excited about that. I just found out that i will be having some really cool guests at my next DWTS show, the entire cast of “Secret Life of the American Teenager”. I can’t wait to see them, I haven’t seen any of them since i was on the show. I’m sooo happy that they even want to come and watch me. Sorry, but i have to go for now. Will try to keep you all up to date when i can. Please vote. Love you guys. Peace SJ
