Dancing With The Stars Henry Byalikov Sets Us Up For The Trio Dances And More (Video)
So interesting and fascinating as always! Below is another Vlog release by Dancing With The Stars pro Henry Byalikov. He sets us up for the trio dances on Monday explaining what the most important things are to do to make them work and also the biggest mistakes. Henry also explains what it’s been like to work with Tony Dovolani and Melissa Rycroft (pictured above. I think Melissa might have the upper hand on these two. 😀 ) this week. You’ll find out what it’s like dancing on stage versus dancing LIVE on television which he prefers more. Henry also explains what makes the ideal celebrity partner and who he’d like to dance with as well.
Excellent questions from the fans and THANKS HENRY!!!! I love these Vlogs! Please keep them coming! As always, if you have any questions for Henry, you can write to him at his twitter, facebook, or his official site.
He is sweet, I really hope they make him a pro, I still can’t forget his audition for sytycd, one of the hottest samba’s I have ever seen, Still don’t know how he got cut on vegas week, since he actually made the top 20 in sytycd Australia and he is heavily trained in ballet.
Thanks Vogue, Love me some Henry! He seems very charming and talented. I really hope he’s selected to fill the vacancy when Derek bows out. No one can “replace” Derek, but from what I’ve seen, Henry will bring the kind of talent, attitude and personality I want in a pro on DWTS.
YW and I agree with both of you! He’s a keeper!!
Henry!Henry!Henry! That guy is just too cute and sweet and sexy. I agree, if we have to lose Derek, please let us have Henry.
From Henry’s official website bio, regarding SYTYCD:
“In 2010, Henry took part in the US version of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ as a guest partner. He was given the choice by the production team to compete, which he accepted and was successful in the initial round…Unfortunately, he was unable to compete due to visa expiration.”
Kathleen- I didn’t know that, it makes sense now. He was too good in the audition and sytycd Australia to not make the top 20.
Just adding in – the season he tried out for SYTYCD, he was partnering Giselle Peacock (aka the former Mrs. Artem Chgnitsev) who was also his partner on the ill-fated Nigel Lythgoe show Superstars of Dance back in 2009. They represented Australia & I think they came in 2nd or 3rd in the couples division. Henry was disqualified from SYTYCD due to work visa problems, but I think Giselle made it all the way to the contemporary round of Vegas week before being cut. And like Henry, Giselle was part of the Burn the Floor cast.
I remember Giselle getting cut on Vegas,she was crying like crazy, she auditioned for season 1 with Artem, the judges loved him and hated her. She is a really fierce dancer, but sometimes too powerful, she is like Sabrina X 10.
I love of people did burn the floor, I think Everyone from the troupe apart from sony and oksana, I think Kym was part of the original burn the floor cast back in australia.
Weren’t henry and Sasha pros on dwts australia at one point, I think I saw a video once.
Being in a Trio with my favorite couple has made me pay a lot more attention to Henry and search out more of his dancing on youtube. I really like this guy! I hope he’ll be made a regular pro next season. Really looking forward to his Trio dance with Melissa and Tony on Monday.
#8 laila Not sure abotu Sasha but I know Henry was a pro on the Australian DWTS because I found his dances on youtube, at least for one season anyway.
They look so young and hip! Nobody can tell they’re married and have 4 children combined. Henry also doesn’t look like a stranger here. This is the definition of a trio; a couple who already has great chemistry gets a third member that adds a different flavor to the mix.
@Laila and Jen, Sasha was a pro in season 2 of the Australian version of DWTS. He was with singer Nicki Webster whose run on the show was very similar to Sabrina Bryan’s.
Just adding, Sasha and Henry have said that they left Australian DWTS to join Burn the Floor.
