World news – US – Dancing with the Stars pro Brett Stewart shares details of her semi-final dances with Johnny Weir

Brett Stewart is currently competing in Season 29 of’ Dancing with the Stars’ alongside senior Olympic skater Johnny Weir and is also documenting the ‘Good Morning America’ experience.

Before the semi-final tonight at 8 am. M. ET on ABC, Stuart, the show’s first ever black female professional, reflected on achieving a perfect score last week and taking their team’s mindset into tonight’s battle on the dance floor.

Johnny and I paid homage to one of his music icons, Amy Winehouse. We made a quick step to Valerie and got our first excellent score !! We got very nice comments from the judges. Even Carrie Ann Inaba said she’s never seen such a quick step as ours in 29 seasons!

After this sudden rally, we’re still finishing at bottom 2. After getting the perfect result, we really thought we’d be safe. Luckily, the judges saved us and had the opportunity to continue our journey to the semi-finals!

In the semi-finals, we perform two dances. Our first dance is the « redemption dance » chosen by the judges. We got into a rehearsal without knowing the judge, the dance style or the singing style! When we got to our studio we found out that the judge was Carrie Ann. Unfortunately she wasn’t well with the flu, so we almost worked with it.

She revealed that she wants us to recover the salsa and dance to « X » by Jonas Brothers and Karol G..

She gave Johnny some really great criticisms and advice on how to raise the bar for salsa from the last time she performed it in Week 6. I know Carrie Ann will judge with a critical eye, but I am confident Johnny will apply all of her notes and will present a completely different – and best execution – type of salsa than the first..

I’m so excited for our second dance. We’re doing jazz on One Republic’s « I Lives ». This jazz music will be classy, ​​fulfilling and inspiring.

This song, dance and story are close to Johnny’s heart. He will share that retiring from public ski shows in the near future and that the unknown can be frightening and frightening – but he’s also optimistic and full of possibilities..

Johnny is a true inspiration in all respects, and I was passionate about creating a performance that is all about everything No matter where our paths in life take us, we can run freely and on purpose knowing the potential is plentiful and exciting.

This week has been tough for Johnny and me. This competition is both physically and mentally draining. This week we both felt.

After Monday and being in the bottom 2, we realized there was a lot out of our control in this competition. Even after getting perfect scores, we weren’t safe.

Reaching this realization was challenging but together we also decided to edit it and keep moving forward! We needed to remain motivated and positive to make these semi-finals memorable and memorable.

Nerves are high until Monday! It’s a double elimination and we’ll need all the votes we can make in the end. I believe with all my heart that Johnny deserves to reach the end and return to the Mirror Ball.

He was extremely committed and dedicated to the process and the journey. His hard work showed his growth and progress. He is extremely talented and after 10 weeks he still exceeds my expectations on a daily basis. But most importantly, he is a good person with the most beautiful heart.

Time to dance with our hearts and bring out my boyfriend to the end! #TeamBrijo to win!
