This was so fun to see the behind the scenes of DWTS on a show day! It is also really nice that you take time to say hello to everyone from cast, crew, to the people physically there attending the show. It's nice seeing that Alan was supportive all the way through the show despite getting 8s and everyone else getting 10s. Hopefully this week yall will be crying tears a joy instead of stress and fear! Good luck this week and for the Instant Dance Challenge you and Alan are going to do amazing.

Ok, but this video is cool on so many levels. I’ve watched dwts since I was old enough to remember, (my mom loved it) and it’s super cool to get to see the behind the scenes stuff like this. I’m really curious how much things have changed over the years, but seeing all the stuff here and on TikTok is amazing!! I am obsessed with the static angles of the dance!!!!!! I want more of them!!!!! Also, I love Ilona so much, seeing her on dwts and on TikTok is really keeping me going, I’ve had a rough few weeks, but her videos always make me feel happy. If she gets eliminated, I’m going to stop watching the show. She has such an amazing attitude and sense of humor. I am just so glad she’s on this season! 💜
@fabyolyss25062 ай бұрын
I totally agree on the static angles! They're getting a little too crazy with the camera movements, and I think it detracts from the flow of the dances
@juliaerdos2 ай бұрын
I hate seeing you beating yourself up when it’s literally not your fault that your scores were lower. You guys deserved at least all 9s (I’d give at least one 10?!?!?) You’re amazing and you deserved better ❤
@bwell20192 ай бұрын
It sucked that you and Alan went first bc whoever does gets judged so much harsher. Y’all did so great and I can’t wait to see you dance again! You are so amazing and I loved this behind the scenes look!
