It’s done!!! Dancing with the Stars season 11 has wrapped and I am so proud to have been a part of it. Yesterday was a very long day with the extensive and exhausting rehearsal of the opening number, in which I made a microscopic mistake; I am not sure anyone noticed except Louis – but he was kind enough not to mention. There was so much perfection in all the dancing I did yesterday, but of course, all that I remember in great detail are the errors. Before we went out there the Hoff was in the hallway doing navy seal style pushups very low to the ground and then lightning fast sprung his tallness into position. It was so exciting to watch all the pro dancers strut their impressive stuff on the stairs (during rehearsal I would sit low as I could so I could have an ass point of reference – their asses are unstoppable, especially Cheryl and Maks) and then to dance with everyone – pros and stars – on the floor. I felt proud in my backless little red dress and my trusty old worn-out-from-bellydancing-in-middle-eastern-restaurant capezios. I realize I should have worn these shoes when I was competing as they have a kind of sympathetic magic and lend lightness to my feet. The satin is dull and the rhinestones are haphazardly placed, but these shoes are my dance history, which I didn’t draw on nearly enough throughout the entire DWTS experience, until last night. My tattoos were painted in glitter which was so pretty I wanted to start screaming.” We should have done this all along. Why didn’t we do this all along? Why are we not competing in the finals?” all day I said this to Louis. He answered in his typical fashion – “I know. I know. I know, we should be. Well, we are doing it now. We are doing it now.” I also kept grabbing Brandy – “Why aren’t you in the finals? Why? Why? Why? Brandy??? Why? You are such a beautiful dancer! WTF? Lots of people got robbed, but you – you… that’s not right…” every time I saw her face I felt like crying. Unfair. I got in my fabulous rainbow dress and looked at Louis next to the camera on the dance floor, seconds before dancing in front of 24 million people. He was smiling and nodding and with his special language of gestures and pointing reminding me to let go and have fun and I looked at him and I thought about how much I love him and how much I wanted to thank him for all his hard work and all he taught me. It must be how gymnasts or skaters feel looking at their coaches right before they compete in the Olympics. “I am gonna dance this for you Louis,” I thought – “I dedicate this to you my teacher.” It was a real “grasshopper” moment. My legs, feet and arms moved in a graceful perfect symphony of arcs and lines. I mastered milliseconds of physical silence. My entire body wrapped around Louis like a ribbon. As I passed the judges I gave them all a special smile and they cheered. I grabbed Florence’s hand as we were lifted up by Louis, Damian, Dimitri and the awesome Corky Ballas. As we waded through the deep sea of rainbow streamers, it felt like we had swum across an ocean of love. When Jennifer won I felt like all was fair in love and war. What a life I thought. The life of a dancer.

To je učinio !!! Ples sa zvijezdama sezone 11 je omotan, a ja sam tako ponosan bio dio toga. Jučer je bio jako dug dan s opsežnim i naporne probe broja otvaranja, u kojem sam napravio mikroskopski pogrešku; Nisam siguran tko primijetio, osim Louis - ali je bio dovoljno ljubazan da ne spominjem. Bilo je toliko savršenstvo u svim ples sam učinio jučer, ali naravno, sve što se sjećam vrlo detaljno su pogreške. Prije nego što smo otišli vani Hoff bio u hodniku radi Navy SEAL stilu sklekova vrlo niske na tlo, a zatim munja brz širili svoju visina u položaju. Bilo je tako uzbudljivo gledati sve pro plesači dijagonala svoje impresivne stvari na stepenicama (tijekom probe bih sjesti niska kao što sam mogao kako bih mogao imati magarca referentnu točku - njihove magarce su nezaustavljiv, pogotovo Cheryl i Maksa), a zatim na plesati sa svima - pro i zvijezde - na podu. Osjećao sam ponosan na moje backless malo crvenoj haljini i moj vjerni stari dotrajali-iz-bellydancing-u-srednje-istočnoj-restoranu capezios. Znam ja trebao nositi ove cipele kad sam se natjecao jer imaju neku vrstu magije suosjećajan i posuditi lakoću na moje noge. Saten je dosadno i rhinestones slučajno su postavljeni, ali ove cipele su moj ples povijest, što nisam izvući na približno dovoljno u cijelom DWTS iskustva, do sinoć. Moje tetovaže su obojana u sjaj koji je bio tako lijep sam htjela početi vrišti. "Trebali smo učinili sve ovo zajedno. Zašto ne bismo to učinili svi zajedno? Zašto mi ne natječu u finalu ", cijeli dan sam rekao? To Louisu. On je odgovorio u svom tipičnom način - "Znam. Znam. Znam, trebamo biti. Pa, mi to radimo sada. Mi smo to sada radi "Također sam zadržao grabbing Brandy -". Zašto nisi u finalu? Zašto? Zašto? Zašto? Rakija ??? Zašto? Ti si tako lijepa plesačica! WTF? Mnogo ljudi je dobio pljačkali, ali - ti ... to nije u redu ... "svaki put kad sam vidio njezino lice osjećao sam se kao da plače. Nelojalna. Dobio sam u mom nevjerojatan rainbow haljinu i pogledala Louisu uz kameru na plesnom podiju, sekundi prije pleše pred 24 milijuna ljudi. On je bio nasmijan i kimajući glavom i sa svojim posebnim jezikom pokreta i pokazujući podsjećajući me pustiti i zabavite se, a Pogledao sam ga i mislio sam o tome koliko ga volim i koliko sam htjela da mu zahvaliti za sve svojim radom i sve što me naučio. To mora biti kako gimnastičari ili klizači osjećaju gledajući njihove trenere pravo prije nego što se natjecati na Olimpijskim igrama. "Ja sam ti ples za vas Louis", pomislio sam - "Posvećujem ti to moj učitelj." Bio je to pravi "skakavac" trenutak. Moje noge, noge i ruke preselio u graciozan savršenom simfonije lukova i linija. Savladao sam milisekundi fizičke šutnje. Cijelo moje tijelo omotano oko Louis poput vrpce. Kao što sam prošao suce sam im dao sve poseban osmijeh i oni navijali. Zgrabio sam firentinske ruku dok smo bili podignuti Louis, Damjana, Dimitri i strašan Corky Ballas. Kao što smo waded kroz duboko more duginim mlazove, činilo se kao da smo se kupali preko oceana ljubavi. Kad je Jennifer osvojio osjećao sam se kao sve je pošteno u ljubavi i ratu. Što je život sam mislio. Život plesačica.
