DWTS13 Week 6 Ricki Lake And Derek Hough To Tap Dance Tonight!
In a new interview that took place Friday night with Broadway World, Ricki discloses details about her upcoming projects, passions, and being a huge Broadway fan. In fact, Ricki would love to do Broadway someday and hopes her dancing on Dancing With The Stars will help her get a role.
RL: Oh, yeah. I am hoping to do Broadway someday. I mean – really. I am not a dancer – clearly, I am not a dancer – but, I am working really hard to make it look like I am. I am singer, though. So, if this leads to some opportunity onstage, I would love it.
Ricki also discusses the good times and the challenges of doing Dancing With The Stars. She also gives us a hint of what to expect of her and Derek’s dance tonight which includes tap dancing (you would not believe the happy dance twirl I just did after reading this and I about broke my neck! lol 🙂 )….
PC: How have you been enjoying your time on DANCING up until now?
RL: Well, I have to tell you: we just had this halfway point party and at the party people were just maniacs – they were throwing down on the dance floor!PC: Well, given it’s a DANCING WITH THE STARS party, I’d expect no less.
RL: It was crazy! I mean, it was a bar, but people were cutting loose. It was really the crew that was doing it – there were the dancers, too – but the crew went crazy! I didn’t stay for too long because I had to dance the next day.PC: How have you been handling all the responsibility and pressure inherent in the experience of doing this show?
RL: Oh, like, right now, I am racing home to get ready for the Chaz Bono event tonight. He is being honored and we are going. I am a lunatic – but, I am having a great time, at the same time, you know? [Laughs.]PC: You must be stressed out.
RL: Yeah, it’s a lot – and, I have Derek beating me up. This week, in this dance, I am doing the quickstep and I am doing a little tap-dancing in it, too. It’s just exhausting. It takes so much out of me. Just doing it once, I am just sweating buckets.
More of this fun ‘in-depth’ interview HERE!!
In related news, be sure to check out Pure Derek Hough when you get a moment. Heidi has posted a new Cobu3D Trailer!! (I think I have just died here again and gone to heaven? I don’t know? 🙂 )
Vogue, I also gave myself an injury from being so happy when i heard they were going to be putting a little tap dancing into their routine! So frickin’ excited to see this QS now!
Oh good, I’m glad I’m not the only one. lolllll Here’s to tonight! 😉
I want it to be next year already so I can see the damn movie. 🙂
I do hope he has it at the beginning or at the end so Len doesn’t have a cow. Even though he clearly stated on SCD that sometimes you have to break the rules to have a great dance. Hypocrite.
Since the American version of Len’s judging seems to be more of a stickler, hope they don’t break hold to do so. Mostly and as always though, hoping that Ricki and all the other contestants are well and able to put forth their best possible dances.
Finally some great dancing to look forward to.
There are usually two reasons why Derek would break hold – a calculated risk if he thinks people might be assuming they’re safe, or if the music is such that he just can’t resist.
Tapping with a quickstep, though – it just makes more sense to have it right at the beginning. You never know with Derek, though. It’s one of his charms. 🙂
I would also expect it to be at the beginning. This is gonna be a great QS!
I’m even more excited about this dance now. 🙂
But I think the tapping will be at the end.
I just watched the quickstep Monique and Louis did to “Luck Be a Lady” and if they basically use the same music arrangement tonight, I can easily see a little tap routine at the end.
Hopefully Ricki is doing better!
I’m so excited to see their performance tonight! I was so hoping to see some tap moves incorporated in one of their dances. Quickstep is definitely a great choice for it.This will be a great Quickstep & performance!!!
Go Derek & Ricki! Team Drickilous all the way!!!
