Mark Ballas Comes Up With Ingenious Idea To Get Katherine Jenkins’ ‘Bounce’ On
Mark gives us a hint at USA Today of what to expect of he and Katherine’s package and dances tonight on Dancing With The Stars. Get ready for some “wackiness” in their package as they ready for the Samba!
We have three dances this week: the samba for our solo dance, the cha-cha for the marathon and then all the teams must prepare a jive for the dance duel. My first thought: “Ugh! that’s a lot!” But it’s good — they are all fun, and I enjoy each of them.
Samba is all about partying and bouncing. Katherine has naturally straight legs so I came up with a pretty ingenious idea to encourage her to bend her knees and get her “bounce” on. Be sure to tune in Monday to see where I took her and the wacky activity I made her take part in.
More at USA Today.
UPDATE: Here is a new rehearsal interview with Mark and Katherine and Extra. Check out her Salsa moves. What do you think? Hmmm….
I want to go on record again saying that Katherine will struggle badly with the Samba.
Thanks, Vogue, love that still from their ATango! Hope Mark managed to put some flex in Katherine’s knees so they can do some good voltas; getting the correct bounce is tricky. We want a Samba not a Shamba 😉
LOL Yep!! And YW!!!!
Steve, you could be right. Not long to wait and see.
I liked the spin on the costumes- traditional but in a soft color, it suited the moody music. However, that gigantic knot on Katherine’s head.. she could smuggle a melon in that thing.
LOL sasa! But hey, a woman’s gotta put her “melons” somewhere 😉
I cant wait to see it:). Hopefully lots of voltas, botofogos, and bounce action going on 🙂
LOL, now Mark is so sophisticated!!! He must have forgotten about that kiss with Chelsea week one in S12-or that Monkey suit he wore with Bristol in S11~~
Good Luck Katherine!!
Looking forward to a fun night…
Or taking his shirt off with Bristol. Or playing up his relationship with Sabrina. He is the king of showmances. Or sulking and going off on Len. I could respect him if he owned up to it. He might be more tolerable with Katherine but easy to do that when she is so talented. Let’s see if he is just as patient and nice with another Melissa or Shannen.
Mark has NEVER been one for self awareness OR past history. No surprise.
Yup, PH. He the gets defensive on twitter if any dares to call him out. It is like he lurks on sites and sees everything people said. Those turned off by the kiss? No. I would never do that even though he has. They hate his spats? He stops wearing them. Sadly calling out his lack of awareness? Nothing happens.
For a moment there, I swear the Old Markie was back! Anyone else get that vibe. And Katherine was overscored again, I thought she lost her timing midway through and never really regained it.
