IMO, Maks and Amber look better than Val and Laurie. I hope we get more clips soon.
Is it just me or does the height difference between Val and Laurie seem a bit too much? Granted she’s not wearing heels in the video, but I wonder if part of the awkward frame has to do with their height difference??
Yeah without the heels Laurie is significantly shorter than Val and that’s why it looks awkward. Then again I can’t imagine heels making that much of an improvement.
Amber and Maks look good. I usually like Maks as a pro as opposed to a guest judge (a bit more tolerable) so if they do well and if he’s on his best behavior, I might be inclined to root for them.
I agree with the both of you. Amber and Maks are a fit!
I didn’t realize the extent of the height difference between Val and Laurie either.
What for heck shirt is Maks wearing?
Hopefully soon we will see rehearsal clips of some of the other couples. Not just the C-brothers.
I agree plus I’ve always liked Maks as a performer more than Val. Maks has the It factor. Val does not.
I’m not sure what I was expecting but Laurie and Val look ok…not anything to make me go “wow”. Same for Amber and maks but Amber seems more natural than Laurie in my opinion.
Sidenote: what song do Amber and maks have? it sounds so familiar in that video but I can’t place it.
I wonder if the dances they’re practicing are their first week dances.
Maks and Amber look to have Foxtrot. I hope so. First impressions go a long way and it would be nice to see Amber elegantly gliding across the floor.
They look good.
Already I see that staccato movement in Val’s choreography.
Vin the song is “here” by Alessia Cara
I’d really like to see Amber do well and I hope to see her little boy in the audience. He’s adorable!
@ashley: thanks! It was driving me crazy that I couldn’t figure it out.
I always find Laurie a little frantic in her floor routine dancing. I think it’s really gonna test Val’s ability to hone that in and pull out all that potential!
I don’t think I realized how big the height difference was between Laurie and Val- hopefully that won’t be a hindrance to them.
I really wish we still had the live rehearsals, I like seeing how the pros taught and I would be really interested to see the differences between Val and Maks teaching styles.
I think Laurie is the early front runner this season (for now) but I’m worried about their time management. I know many other athletes have done tours and the show, but I think Laurie is the first one under 18. With the tour and the restrictions on practice hours for minors, I hope they aren’t pressed for time.
Awww… Val and Laurie, like this pair, too cute. Maksim and Amber, well….
Only the C bros so far. Laurie’s probably a little too perky for some of the ballroom dances. She is only 16 so can’t expect the maturity of a 32 year old, but her personality will shine. Reminds me of Bindi in some ways. Hope Val takes it easy on her. Amber seems to be easing into it, although I can already see Maks dragging her a bit and he hasn’t even started to feel the heat of the competition yet.
Maks and Val try too hard to be different but they look ridiculous. The hair, the clothes. And why Laurie is in sneakers? On what the first or second day? Let down on all accounts. Hopefully it will get better.
The clips are quite short and doesn’t give me much to base an opinion; but from what I saw….
Maks and Amber seem to be communicating well. I agree, that it looks like they may have a Foxtrot for their week one dance. Amber is a big girl and tall (not meaning fat either), and it makes me realized just how tall Maks is, since I haven’t seen him on the dance floor for a while. Meryl was far from being as tall as Amber. If Maks can watch his verbal expressions, I think I am going to enjoy these two.
Laurie seems like a sweet 16 and I think she will do fine if her Pro stays in the big brother mode and nice like he was with Zendaya. BUT, PLEASE, VAL…GET A HAIRCUT!
I’m not crazy about Maks’ either but Val’s tops the cake!!!
With regard to the C Bros – I’m definitely Team Maks even though I adore Laurie more than Amber. I do think however that Amber and Maks are a great fit together! We’ll see how this shakes out. I can’t wait!
lol KKat. I couldn’t agree more on Val’s hair. He needs to trim atleast 5 inches off the top.
Val needs a good haircut asap. He paired a pic on Facebook that I saw today and I know it bothers me when my hair gets like that but it has to be annoying him when he is sweating/dancing/working out. He needs a good 3ish inches cut off and a two blade on the sides asap.
LOL..Vogue and Vin…watch Val and Laurie again and what Val does right at the end when he does that head movement of like when you motion a “yes” with your head. His hair flopping is not “cool” at all!!!
Someone please warn Val that I’m coming to rehearsal with my hedge trimmer.
Man, ya’ll cut Val some slack on his hair. He has “crazy” hair, and he can’t help that. I suspect that it needs to have length to it so that he can end up with the slicked-back look when he puts product in it. His hair always looks great when the show is rolling. It’s hours on end of rehearsal, let him wear pigtails if he wants.
You don’t need to have a bush on your head to get that slicked back look…quite the opposite in fact.
It looks like he got a perm in it to me.
KKat…lollll
Vin, I love your idea and Heidi’s too.
@PHeidi…ITA…couldn’t have said it any better.
