How Lindsay Arnold And Calvin Johnson Are Feeling At This Point In The Competition On DWTS And More

Lindsay Arnold tells Entertainment Tonight that she couldn’t be happier with Calvin Johnson and their perfect score last night on Dancing With The Stars. However, learning all the dances for this past week didn’t come without their challenges. In the take below,, Lindsay talks of their momentum going into the coming weeks and what they hope for. Lots more at the link.

We’re now only weeks away from the end of the competition and you and Calvin are so close to potentially taking home that mirror ball trophy. How do you plan to stay on top?

The thing about this show is, it’s all about momentum. It’s about going into the finals at your strongest. Calvin just got his first perfect score, so his momentum and peak is coming at such a good time. But we cannot lose that momentum. We have to continue to stay at the top of the leaderboard, stay strong every single night, come out with something new each time that wows people, and really take the night over.

Like last night, our performance was one of the crowd-pleasing moments, and that’s what we have to do — get people off their feet and get them to vote for us. Also, dedication and time. We usually fly to Detroit each week to be with Calvin’s wife and Caleb, but he’s sacrificing his time with them. He’s staying in Los Angeles this week so we can get all the hours in as possible, which proves to me how much he really wants this. It’s hard, but he’s putting all of his time and energy into it.
