What's up?
Are you.
Are you coming?
I think we have.
You made it?
Yes after the placements in New Orleans, I got a new dress,
but ilia didn't like it.
Well, so.
You have better, more flattering dresses
doesn't create as much volume like the blue dress
that I have.
Yeah, it has.
Makes you longer.
Oh, I love this.
Oh, Donnie.
I love the dress.
I think it's going to look great against that Brown wall,
and it's really going to move.
I didn't love the way I looked in the blue dress
the first time I wore it.
And in the next four days, I'm not going to completely
transform into another person.
So I want to do this photoshoot to just kind of
get more confidence in myself.
What's your rumba opening like?
Just do it slowly.
Just do this.
Yeah ooh, you look so good.
I know.
Ready, set, go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
That's really good.
Yes Yes.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah perfect.
Yeah exhale.
Here come here, Donnie.
Look at these.
That's horrible.
Like, that looks almost like a, like, way too fat.
That's beautiful.
Yeah, I'm probably going to like zero pictures in this dress,
so.
Wow that's like.
That's really what I look like.
That's disgusting.
Very big word.
Do you think everyone feels disgusting?
I mean, I don't know.
I'm assuming everyone feels the same way,
but I guess maybe not.
That's really what I see.
I liked it with your.
With at least one arm up.
Yeah like it?
Yes yeah, yeah, Yeah.
See, you know what to do.
No, it's like good in theory till you see it.
And you're like, I'm a gremlin.
No, you're not.
Don't arch your back so much.
Yeah, that's better.
Yep do you like these better?
Where you're more of a silhouette
in front of the window?
I mean.
Yeah, I like it of my legs.
That's fine.
Yeah, but I would.
I just don't like any of those of my body,
no matter how much I can dress up.
Like what people think of as classic Latin dancer.
Like, I'm just never going to look like that.
Show me what your cooking.
Oh, let me see the moves.
You got the whole world looking like the kind of man
you're taking hold of you.
Hey, guys.
Welcome I haven't seen you in so long.
How are you?
OK what's going on?
Oh, not much.
Wear my shoes.
Absolutely not.
Do you have slippers?
Feet are going to be so cold.
know me.
We get to wear ordinary slippers, Sabrina.
I like them.
Polar Bears.
My sisters and I are completely different.
I'm the youngest of five, so I was very spoiled.
Daddy's little girl that constantly needed attention.
And they still look at me like that.
But I've always looked up to them.
Thank you.
Where did you get that, tom?
What's wrong with it?
Well, it's very, very.
Yes it's lucky your mother's not here.
Did you dance today?
I'm going after, like, so crazy.
Busy now.
The kids picking them up, dropping
them off clothes at gymnastics.
I'm always in and out.
It's my traveling for dance that makes it more difficult.
So you're going way too much.
Does mommy give you a hard time about that?
She's not what she used to be.
Where she really be hard on me, like make me cry.
You have two young kids.
You shouldn't be traveling and leaving them.
She was upset because in her eyes, a mother doesn't do that.
Jewish guilt is part of my nature.
That's how I was brought up in my family.
They want the wives to be at home.
They want us to nurture our family.
And no matter how much I win and accomplish in ballroom,
my mother would be more impressed
of me making a good holla than a good Cha Cha.
No, she said.
It's not a Jewish wife thing to do.
Like it looks slutty for you to dance with those
open costumes, your boobs hanging out.
She gave me four years.
She made me cry.
She wanted this dance just to be like a hobby.
Not like your life passion.
She feels that the kids are more important than a dance
competition, which she doesn't understand
is I'm not gone for weeks at a time.
I'm gone for one, two days.
I come back and then I make up for that
by being there for everything.
No, I think that when it comes to all this dancing,
it's a priority for sure.
Not over my kids.
I couldn't do it.
I don't know.
I couldn't leave my kids.
Let's put it this way.
You do a lot more for yourself than most mothers out there.
And you also missed Passover.
But, you know, he gives me the OK.
I wouldn't have left had he not said, OK, what I'm going
to say that you're OK with it.
I'm not OK with it.
I can't be a mind reader.
Maybe you were a little selfish.
Dancing is just part of life that
I cannot give up right now.
At a certain point, you're going to have to slow down.
