Amy Purdy And Derek Hough Rehearsal Interview About DWTS, Dancing Prosthetics, And More
Don’t miss visiting People.com. They posted a new Dancing With The Stars rehearsal video of Derek Hough and Amy Purdy from last week. Amy is also interviewed about her new prosthetics for dancing. It’s fascinating. After that, be sure to catch up with even more new interviews, pictures, and updates at Pure Derek Hough including viewing a NEW THEME!
“I wasn’t able to get the hip motion with my everyday feet,” she tells PEOPLE. “So I decided to try these other feet. I originally got these just thinking they were a little bit prettier and I could wear a taller heel and maybe for a tango.”
When she attached them, “It freed my hips up so that I could move how I wanted to,” she explains.
“Dirty Purdy” and partner Derek Hough have wowed the judges, consistently earning top scores – while keeping everything in perspective with a sense of humor.
“One of the good things is, you never hear her complain about her feet,” says Hough. “Normally it’s ‘Oh my feet, they’re killing me! My blisters are bleeding and I gotta to change my shoes! With Amy it’s no complaints. Brilliant.”
Wow, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget this move or her cartwheel. And look at those faces!!! *awww moment*
OMG, I couldn’t help but LOL at Derek’s comment about his former partners complaining about their feet…
Gotta love her! Amy+Derek The team that inspires!!
That Cartwheel!!
I think several of the pros would have done a good job with her, after all, she’s pretty amazing, and I believe other of the pros are good teachers and caring people. But my opinion is that only Derek could create this magic with her.
Couldn’t agree more with both of you!! They are magical!
I want them to win! Not sure if it’s going to happen, but I know I’ll spend every single vote on them 🙂
When the season started, I held my breath just praying they would get through the routine. Now I wonder why I ever doubted them. I am voting my little fingers off. lol
OMG, I love that comment that she doesn’t complain about her blisters and feet! LMAO! Not only do I love Amy and her personality and strength, but I love how Derek is also learning and experiencing a totally new approach to dance with this partnership. I love how much they are learning from each other. 🙂
Finally got a chance to watch this video clip. Love it. Look at her go! Amy can dance like nobody’s business!!!
Derek’s such a hoot. Yep, I tell you, nothing better than dancing with a partner who doesn’t have feet; saves ya from having to listen to all that whining about blisters. 😛 It’s just not fair, Derek always gets the easy partner (sorry, that bit of sarcasm just slipped out)
Loved this routine – finally had a chance to rewatch a few times. That was one of the best jives I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next week.
#Cidra, I appreciate that sarcasm, LOL!
This pair amazes me all the time, whether they are dancing or giving interviews. I love how they compliment each other and they do so with such sincerity you could almost grasp it in your hands. I always appreciate people who are able to make things happen no matter what situation they are in. Helps me become more proactive instead of reactive, act instead of whine.
Thank you for posting this article with the videos of Amy & Derek.
I think they are in a world of their own and are going to be in the finals. I love Derek’s humor (as always) and Amy’s positive, always seeking for what works best attitude, because that’s what Derek’s philosophy is also. I think they have the perfect chemistry for a dance couple and to Amy it is about reaching beyond herself and beating life at its own game. She is competing with herself and pushing to be better than she was the previous week. I was especially interested about what Drew Carey said at the end of the one video….that “Amy was going to win.” Hmmmmm
Couldn’t agree more about this amazing couple!!! Can’t wait to see their rumba and team dance!!! Voting my fingers off for them too!!!
Lovin’ all these great articles/interviews … THANKS SO MUCH!!!
They had a great dance. Both are very entertaining and likable.
