I'm not sure if I can speak, but I'm here with Ju Marini. From Dancing with the Stars. Hello. You're watching Young Hollywood. I'm getting a dance lesson backstage. Stay tuned. Here we go. Wow. We are here backstage with Gil Marini and Peeta Murgatroyd. This is where you guys, this is where the magic happens. This is where like the real like rehearsing goes on. I know they show a bit of it on the show, but it's very laid back when you walk in here. You know each other so well at this point. You're 24/7 together. What what do people not know about him?
Um that he is hyper all the time. He is on it. He's like cry, cry. But isn't that good when you need energy for dancing and when you're on this kind of at this kind of a pace? Yeah, I mean I would take that over having somebody that was just like all limp and stuff all day because I need him to be on it, you know, and it's it's great. It's really good. And can we say how good he looks in eyeliner, too?
Bollywood dance, my favorite of all time. He was Oh, thank you. He was incredible because 48 48 hours before that we just didn't have a dance. I really felt that night we will just maybe survive. And then what I realized that people were crazy about it. I was just happened. That was completely completely surprised. That probably that's why our reaction was so out of control. I was like. Awesome.
So what do we not know about Pete?
She's a contortionist. She can put her leg to places no one knows except I don't. It's just incredible. No, I actually uh Peta is exactly the same on and off camera when it comes down to who she is with other people. She's very sweet and and and the more of a volume in being. For me that is the only dream I had before I started this season. I want to have somebody that is sweet and respectful and I just hit the jackpot.
So aside from ballroom dance, favorite sort of style of dance that you guys have? Or favorite ballroom dance? Like what is your favorite? Because I know you train in ballet.
Yes, I mean ballet would be my go to after ballroom for sure. I've been training in that for 12 years. So But I mean I love the Bollywood now. We rocked it.
Next Monday we are performing the Rumba. And somehow naturally I feel a lot of emotion toward it. The dance that I love the most also is the Argentine Tango. Those two dances.
Now this week is guilty pleasures. What are each of your guilty pleasure in life?
Chocolate and carbohydrates, man. If I can get home, if I'm starving, I will go for a piece of bread and pasta. For sure. And then the Kardashians. I love watching the Kardashians.
We need to hang out on a Sunday night because I'm there too. Okay, cool.
My guilty pleasure is to not admit to my wife that when she puts on a chick flick on TV I say, "Ah, I'm going to shoot myself." I'm watching this. Then I'm watching it. And I'm loving it. But I hate to love it and whatever and vice versa.
Being on the biggest stage, having so much pressure, what is it going to take to win this season?
It's going to take a lot to win this season. It's highly competitive. I mean all the couples definitely want to take that mirror ball home. It's not like we're like, "Oh, yeah, I can make the final and make it okay." We want that bloody ball. And we have the rumba dance. I love my friends. We're a great team because it's not like a teacher-student thing, I find. I try to make him feel like he's a part of it. He has ideas, I put them in wherever I can, and if they don't sort of fit, then I chuck them away. But um yeah, it's just incredible. It's the first time. It's the first time in my life that um oh, yeah, this is good. Let's put it in. I'm like, "Are you crazy?" The professional dancer makes it happen. Makes the choreography. Shush, do it. This is not what's happening to him this season. He makes me want to stay more. He wants to make me want to feel this forever. So it's it's great. I I believe for the first time in my life, I actually really want to win it.
Speaking of dancing, I have a move that I think I'll put you guys over the edge this season. And then I want a little lesson. Are you guys ready? First of all, I'm going to show you my club move. Okay? This is my club move and maybe you can like incorporate this into your dance, okay? Are you ready? Do you want to hold the mic? I'm holding the mic.
Best club move. That's banging. I'm sure you have a good club move. Uh it depends on the song, but I like to start cool and like. And then you dance. You dance. You're just having fun. You shake a little bit. And then the lady, "Oh, he shook his hips. He's good to go."
Your favorite club move? It probably has to be the booty pop backwards. Booty pop, booty pop. She doing this. There you go.
I'm loving my life.
Now a real dance move. A real dance move. What can we what can we do?
We can do the Cha-Cha-Cha. If you go right, left, sha, sha, sha. Left, right, sha, sha, sha. Right, left, sha, sha, sha. Now hips, hips. Dum dum dum dum. Very good. Leg up and all. Beautiful. It's my favorite Cha-Cha. It's good.
And if you guys could dance to any song, any song, what would it be?
Wow, we are about to. Yeah. We got the one wish, the Gangnam Style. We wanted that. We're a little cuz we we did some with Apollo and Karina in our studio recently, should we do show them up a little bit? There you go. It's time to uh champions of the All-Star season of Dancing with the Stars.
