Derek Hough And Bethany Mota To Take A Risk On Dancing With The Stars Week 2
In case you haven’t read it yet, Derek Hough has written a new blog for TV Guide. He writes of a “potentially dangerous” trick he’s using in he and Bethany Mot’s new dance. Here is more….
We have the foxtrot this week. It’s almost there. We have something fun planned that I’ve had in my mind for a while and now felt like the right time to do it. It involves using an instrument and we’re going to have some cool effects on it. It’s potentially dangerous, but it’s cool when it’s executed properly. I don’t normally take these kinds of risks in Week 2, but I figured why not? Try something new.

I was hoping you guys would post that picture! Such a stunning shot of Bethany and Derek. I always appreciate what Derek has to say in his blogs.
This season feels a little bit more lighthearted and good natured than season 18. I’m genuinely rooting for over half of the contestants, including Beth.
Like some others have previously mentioned, Bethany and Derek need to stand out this week considering how likeable this cast is. They need to make their mark and this is a good way to do so. Hopefully they still have enough Foxtrot in the dance to please Len at least a LITTLE bit.
Can’t wait to see them!
I love the dynamic with these two. I think Derek has a few younger sisters other than Julianne and he really seems to know how to interact with girls – he is funny and very at ease. It shows in how he treats Bethany which makes her comfortable it seems and wanting to try her best to get it right. I like their partnership which I wasn’t sure I would.
This photograph stuns me. Would be interested to know how it came about. It is one of the most romantic things I’ve ever seen. Just gorgeous. Realized that it reminds me of that famous backlit screenshot of Rhett and Scarlet from “Gone With the Wind.” Love this big time.
He has one younger sister, 3 older sisters and numerous young nieces. I’d say he knows girls a bit. 🙂 I think he also has *3* mothers, at least.
#Judy — not sure if you meant “actual” sisters, but Derek has three older sisters and just one younger one.
That’s kind of what I was getting at. He knows girls and gives that respectful but fun vibe.
PH, are we talking Marianne, Shirley and Debra? Or do you know something I don’t know??? ( entirely possible!)
Yeah, those are the three.
Can I ask Who is Debra?
Debra is Derek’s step mom.
Oh, ok…thanks PHeidi
Sigh! I always look at this pic. Truly stunning. I’d like to have one like that, me in Bethany’s place, LOL! Derek is actually very good in photography. He probably has more hidden talents and I can’t wait to see them unfold before us.
About his blog. I love reading whatever he writes. Full of details but doesn’t give everything away. He writes simply but with heart. I agree that at this point, Bethany and Derek have to do something to stand out. Derek knows this show very well and I bet that his genius mind has been working nonstop churning ideas to showcase Bethany in the best way possible.
Wouldn’t it just be so fascinating to watch them do a hole dance right where they are in that place. It would be awesome to watch it in silhouette.
Wow, that picture of Derek & Bethany is absolutely stunning.
He’s definitely a risk taker for sure. Excited to see this move & their performance!!
Ditto. I can not get enough of that picture!!!
You can always count on Derek to push the limits with his partner. Can you imagine what would have happened if Amy was paired with someone else last season? I don’t think the dances would have been anywhere close to being that good. He had to work with all her challenges and make it look effortless, week after week. That certainly did not mean he was complacent with her. He challenged her as much as he could. I was very happy with what we saw with Bethany last week and this can only get better. 😀
Respect! The man has respect for his partners no matter what!
#17 Yes, Kate, I.T.A. Derek pushes his partners to their limit, and works around their inabilities and emphasizes on their capabilities.
#18 Yes, Lynn, I.T.A. Derek has always had an immensely amount of respect for every one of his partners, no matter how capable.
This doesn’t shock me. He (and my guess the majority of the viewers) can see that she can dance so she probably can handle anything he throws at her well. I remember Shawn’s freestyle and the drop at the end )or was it the beginning…either way….and that was stillsingle handdly the biggest trick I have ever seen on the show.
#vin — It was at the end, and I totally agree that it was the biggest trick ever on the show. Not only that they didn’t kill themselves at the start of it, but they managed to tumble in sync!!!! That whole thing blew my mind.
That picture is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what Derek has planned for this week’s dance.
