Karina Smirnoff Describes Dancing With The Stars Season 19 As “A Cast Of Characters”

Karina Smirnoff tells People Magazine that she thinks this season of Dancing With The Stars “will be very surprising for viewers”. She also calls it a “cast of characters”. Below is more including her thoughts on partner Randy Couture.

The biggest challenge is, I don’t think Randy realizes how strong he is, because if he goes full out 100 percent, I have to cling onto him like a koala bear, because if I don’t, I’ll be flying away. We need to really concentrate on being gentle.

The first week we’re doing the fox-trot, which is a very smooth, elegant dance. It will be a nice change to see Randy do a dance like that rather than fighting or being in movies as an action hero.

I personally always love to tell a story within a dance. It’s not just about the moves; the moves mean something. I’ve created a whole story for Randy and he loves it. He’s a leading man who will be taking care of his woman, and I think he’s doing a fabulous job at it!

I spent some time with the cast, and this is an incredible cast. It’s a cast of characters, from Lea Thompson to Tommy Chong to Alfonso Ribeiro. I think this season will be very surprising for the viewers.
