'You have to believe in the process’
We put in about a six-hour day today and we got through the routine with music several times. Chelsie is still making small tweaks to the choreography and she told me to expect a long day tomorrow because that's when she's going to be working on technique.
Those always make for long days, but that's part of the process and I'm used to it.
Every week it always feels like an insurmountable mountain, but you have to believe in that process and keep putting in the work. Every Wednesday and Thursday it feels like that, but you just have to trust the process.
All you can do it keep working at it and just do what your coach tells you, and trust that it's going to get better.
This dance is pretty fast-paced and it's a lot of really fast footwork that all has to be on the count. It all has to be synched up.
That's the thing about the technique because when you and your partner are supposed to be doing the exact same things it has to look like you're doing the exact same things otherwise it looks off. It almost ought to look like mirror images.
That's the part we're working on so, at the point, when we're supposed to be doing the same thing it has to be timed right.
The Jive is a real high-energy, high-speed dance so we'll just keep working and it ought to look good.
One more thing, starting Friday afternoon, please take the time to log onto WWW.PBR.TV and listen to my new Podcast, in which I answer your questions about my experience on "Dancing with the Stars."
